    RIP - very sad indeed and quite a surprise.

    My wife and I went to see her a few times - always very funny.

    Thankfully managed to see her live a few years ago in Dublin, absolutely brilliant. Remember her on Wood and Walters on ITV late seventies when she was starting out and made such an impression.

    Very sad news.

    That's sad, she was always entertaining and clearly passionate about her Art.

    RIP and thanks for the laughs.

    Very sad indeed, someone who had huge talent and, without this dreadful disease, could have entertained us for a lot longer as she had huge imagination and acting talent. One that I will really miss......

    brilliant performer who in a time when most needed to swear or politicise their comedy, she just turned out so many truly funny shows without doing either.

    Dinner Ladies always made me laugh; 2 soups an absolute classic too.

    RIP

    That's sad. She seemed a genuinely nice person.

    Definately unexpected, and an awful loss. Loved that early stuff, sort of an introduction to 'modern' comedyvdtyle in the 80's

    What a shocker. Very saddened by the news. Brilliantly observed and inventive comedy.

    RIP Victoria

    VW 19 May 1953 – 20 April 2016...she was younger than I am! Sadly, cancer has claimed another victim and she'll be missed more that I ever will. Thanks for the comedy...RIP.

    Really sad news, I grew up watching her on TV. Same kevel of shock when I found as I did when Rik Mayall passed

    I'm pleased (if that is the right description) that in cases like this that the first we hear of the person being ill is when the end comes. I detest uninvited press intrusion on someone who is suffering terribly just to sell a few papers.

    She kept me in hospital when I was 12.
    I was in getting my tonsils out and the nurses let me stay up to watch telly with them because I was the oldest on the children's ward.
    The Barry and Freda song had me coughing up blood, literally!! Another day in for me until it stopped.
    Sad loss

    I was really upset to see this news; I recall seeing someone on Twitter around the time that Alan Rickman died, saying something to the effect that God's left an intern in charge of celebrity deaths. Well, I wish the blasted intern would stop it. Victoria Wood was far too young and far too talented to go just yet. :(

    I used to love "As Seen on TV" back in the day. :(

    Shocked to hear this. Such a talented lady, she will be sadly missed.

    Can't work out if it's that I'm getting to the age where more of the celebrities of my youth are dying or just that there are more celebrities these days...
