8 Of Victoria Wood's Most Memorable Quotes

Comedian Victoria Wood has died aged 62 after a 'short but brave' battle with cancer, it has been announced.

Victoria is perhaps best-known for her 1980s TV series Victoria Wood As Seen On TV, and during her successful career as an actress and comedian she went on to win five BAFTAs. In 2008 she was awarded a CBE, and more recently she appeared on The Great Comic Relief Bake Off and Sky 1's Fungus.

A long-time collaborator with the likes of Julie Walters and Celia Imrie, Victoria also wrote and starred in hit sitcom Dinnerladies and more recently ITV's Housewife.

But despite her long list of career achievements, it is perhaps her sunny personality and witty comments that we will most remember her by. Here are 8 of her most memorable quotes...
