Oh no, she's a comic genius IMO, love her on the news quiz! Can't believe it, we were meant to see her on tour and it was cancelled, now understand why, how sad!

Oh how sad. She was a fantastic comedienne. So deadpan and observant. I had no idea she was ill.

Oh no, she was one of my favourite comedians Sad. Saw her on stage at Windsor a couple of years ago and we were rolling about laughing.

I couldn't find it on the standard BBC page either, dino, but I got it through Google news. Poor woman.

OMG, I didn't know she was ill - the BBC charity appeal was Nigel Havers talking about ovarian cancer this week, his wife died of it.

How sad. She was so funny. What a loss. Sad

I loved her. One of the funniest people around. Quick witted and dry. Saw her on Question Time (I think) and she was witty, cutting and intelligent.
I am very, very sad. Sad
