That is so sad. the news says a 'short battle with cancer'. Poor lady. I thought she was terrific and so talented. Life seems very unfair sometimes. sad

Oh No! What a terrible shame. She was so talented and a very very funny comedian. sad

So sorry to hear of her death, far too young. A great talent lost to us .

I loved Housewife 49

OMG! I can't believe it. How can this have happened? I'm so very very sad to hear this. sad

She was my favourite, what a shame.

I loved her too, I'm shocked! sad (posted on the other thread, hadn't realised there was this one already)

I was at her stand-up show, and during the interval I heard the following exchange.
1. I see your husband is with you. Is he enjoying the show?
2. No he says it's too much Tampax and cellulite.

That could have been written by V.W herself.

RIP Victoria Wood

What a terrible shame. A brilliant comedian, given so much laughter over the years. This is turning out to be a horrible year.

Oh no, not another one. sad I saw her in stand up too. She came on stage in that daft outfit and asked 'have you seen my friend Kimberley?' She was hilarious.

grandMattie Wed 20-Apr-16 16:11:21

That can't be true! How terrible sad

pensionpat Wed 20-Apr-16 16:14:59

She also asked why people didn't like Debbie McGee. She said "all she did was marry a magician. We've all done that". Priceless.
