The daughter of late comedian Janey Godley has won two BAFTAs after promising her mum she'd win one 'for her'.

Ashley Storrie beat stiff competition from friend and colleague, Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd, in two categories at the Bafta Scotland Awards for her comedy series Dinosaur. 

She lost her mother on November 2 after a cancer battle, and recalled that the last words she said to her were “I’m going to win a Bafta for you mum”.

Ashley said that she had known Richard for years through the Scottish comedy circuit and said she was “proud of everything he’s done”.

She said: “I have known Richard Gadd for a really long time, we worked together loads and we did a Channel 4 show.

“I’m really proud of everything he’s done and I know he’s chuffed for me – I’ve seen him and chatted to him.

“He’s said ‘well done’. Scottish comedy is a tiny place.”

Ashley added: “She would say ‘well done, I’m very proud’ and then turn around and say ‘that’s my daughter’ and make it all about her.”

She joked that her mother would have been trying to set her up at the awards by talking about her cooking skills, and said the pair had gate-crashed a Bafta party after Janey claimed to be Elaine C Smith.

Ashley said: “She was just a jobbing comedian and I got dragged around as her personal assistant. I’ve been doing stand-up comedy since I was 11.

“This was originally for a woman in her 20s from England, and it became about a woman of indeterminate age from Scotland.”

Ashley said she had aspired to win a Scottish Bafta since her adolescence – holding the gong in higher esteem than an Oscar – and joked that it would go on display beside her Lego collection.

She said that her mother “hated TV” and had complained “you didn’t get laughs”, but that she would have been “open to the idea of a biopic”.
