After 20 years in showbusiness, Jane McDonald reveals why she loves work now more than ever
We know it’s hard to believe, but it’s been 20 years since Jane McDonald shot onto our screens on hit BBC show The Cruise. and unsurprisingly, after all that time in show business, she is just as popular now as she was back then. Jane’s also busier than ever: her show Cruising With wrapped on Channel 5 just a few weeks ago, while she’s currently on our screens in Jane McDonald And Friends, and there’s even going to be a 20th anniversary tour in June. But, despite her busy schedule, as soon as we start our chat with Jane, it becomes apparent how happy she is and it’s safe tosay the 54-year-old is having the time of her life. Here, Jane opens up about a potential return to Loose Women, diet secrets and her wedding to fiancé Eddie Rothe.
‘Jane McDonald And Friends is a proper shiny-floor, live-band-and-dancers extravaganza.
I’ve got big guests coming on – it’s all about having a giggle and it’s a real Friday night show. I’ve got Tony Hadley appearing and The Overtones, and it’s so nice because all these names, they are genuinely my mates.’
‘It’s a great honour for the show to be compared to that of Cilla Black.
