COMEDIAN Janey Godley has lifted the lid on her sexual abuse hell in an emotional tell-all documentary.
The terminally-ill comic, 63, returned to her old home in Shettleston, Glasgow, where she was assaulted as a child by her uncle David Percy.
He was eventually caged in 1996 and died alone in his bed in 2017.
Janey, whose mum Annie was murdered in 1982, opened up about her life for a BBC special that’s airing during Mental Health Awareness Week.
The funny woman, who is battling ovarian cancer, said: “My uncle David was my mum’s brother, he was a bit transient.
“He thought it would be a secret – the abuse. His first mistake was abusing me, and his second was abusing someone who grew up to have the loudest mouth in the world.”
The doc, called Janey, airs May 14 at 10pm on BBC Scotland and follows the stand-up on her 2023 Not Dead Yet Tour.
It covers her potentially career ending ‘cancellation’ when offensive historic tweets emerged.
But it also includes turning points such as when she hit the headlines in 2016 with her protest sign against Donald Trump and the viral success during the pandemic of her comic re-voicing of Nicola Sturgeon’s Covid briefings.
While viewers hear from her best mate Shirley, and her daughter, comedian Ashley Storrie, who can currently be seen in the lead role of BBC Three comedy series Dinosaur.
Janey, whose book The Woman That Won’t Shut Up is out now, admitted she’s unsure of what the future holds as she continues to fight cancer.
She added: “I don’t know how I’ll feel, I don’t know what dying is.
“The great thing is nobody knows what’s there so it’s not like I can take a TripAdvisor recommendation because nobody has came back to tell us.
“It’ll be the end, that’s all I know. I hope I don’t meet all my dying relatives because I don’t like a lot of them.
“I don’t know how I feel about dying. It’s in my head all the time. That’s the thing about cancer, you can’t escape the uncertainty.”
