TV star Davina McCall joins Dundee audience for Janey Godley show

Some of those in the audience thought it was a lookalike for the former Big Brother star.

Former Big Brother host Davina McCall joined an audience in Dundee to watch a show by comedian Janey Godley.

The TV star visited the city with her partner Michael Douglas to watch the stand-up in action on Thursday night.

Godley, who is touring her Not Dead Yet show, took to social media following the show to share a picture with McCall.

The comic was appearing at Dundee’s Gardyne Theatre for the second night after earlier performances in Glenrothes, Dunfermline, Perth and Abroath.

McCall confirmed to fans she was in the city as her “mum-in-law lives here”.

Simon Hewitt, principal of Dundee and Angus College – which runs the Gardyne – tweeted to express his delight at having “two legends under one roof”.

One Twitter user responded to Godley’s post to say she had spotted someone who resembled the TV presenter, saying: “We were in front of you but thought you were just someone who looked like Davina McCall.”

Another fan said: “Couldn’t believe my luck getting to see you on stage tonight and being sat next to Davina. You were great Janey.”

McCall posted on her own Twitter page to say: “This was the greatest show. We laughed so hard and cried too.”

Earlier in the day, Godley’s daughter and fellow comic Ashley Storrie, who appears on stage during the tour, shared a picture of her mum outside Dundee’s Fisher and Donaldson bakery.

Teasing her mum, she said: “Spotted Janey Godley who’s on a diet sulking outside a Dundee bakery.”

Godley, 62, is currently receiving chemotherapy after sharing in December that her cancer had returned.
