“Happy to help with any struggles people might be going through. This is going to be such fun.”
Last week the comedian, best known for her BBC sitcom Miranda, was charging £80 per video.

They told The Sun: “To go from £80 to almost double in a matter of days feels really misjudged in this environment.
“It’s like she’s cashing in, which is a real shame. I was prepared to pay £80 but to then advertise for £166 feels like a bit of a rip-off.”
Other celebrities advertising their services on Cameo include Amy Childs, who offers videos for £20.75 and RuPaul Drag Race contestant Cheryl Hole at £29.05.
