Blimey! What of?

ovarian cancer apptly

Who?

I remember reading about her I think her mum also died of it

who is she?

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.

Ohhhh, I know who you mean now. That is sad, she was very funny.

AQ - she is/was a stand-up comic, appeared on radio 4's the news quiz a lot and I think did telly too - maybe Have I got news for you?

Was really shocked to hear this just now. So sad, she was so young!

link to story please - can t find anywhere.

what a huge shame :( very funny lady

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

I've looked on bbc and guardian website - where is story?

sorry cross-posted

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.

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.

A comic genius

This is so sad, she used to make me almost pee my knickers with laughter.

How terribly sad - she was a very talented lady.

So sad. i always loved her on the news quiz

very sad news
