Naga Munchetty was forced to interrupt BBC Breakfast after the sad news landed that Janey Godley had sadly passed away. The 63-year-old comedian had been battling cancer, updating her social media viewers just weeks ago to tell them the disease was now terminal and she "didn't know if she'd see Christmas this year". Sadly, it was announced that the Scottish star had sadly passed away with her family and loved ones at her side, as Naga paused the programme to make the important breaking news announcement.
Immediately after Naga had broken the news a tribute to Janey played out on screens, celebrating her career, time in the spotlight and her courageous fight against cancer.
