Such sad news, I had the pleasure of working for her on Fat Friends, she was an inspiration, her writing had such a realness that let everyone climb onboard. My thoughts are with her family and friends.
Very sorry to hear the hugely talented Kay Mellor has passed away. R.I.P. Kay, you will be missed by many.
A shame she discovered James Corden
Oh wow, such an amazing writer and I love her dramas. Children’s Ward, Playing the Field, Band of Gold and The Syndicate are favourites of mine. RIP, what a loss.
So sad, so many great shows. RIP
