Jane McDonald has announced some lovely family news, after revealing she's made the decision to step away from the limelight to spend time with her nearest and dearest. The TV star was being interviewed on a podcast when she gave an insight into her personal life.
“I want to be here for my family,” she said. “My niece is just about to have baby and we’re all very excited about that.
“I want to be around for them all.” She added: "I think it's made me realise actually, how many summers have we got left. And I want to do so much. I want to go on holiday, instead of filming one," Birmingham Live reports.
"I want to be creative. I want to have time in my lovely home. You know, and I want to be here for my family. You know, my niece is just about to have a baby. And we're all very excited about that. And I want to be around, I want to be around for them all just for a while to like sort myself out and then stop working as much as I do. Because I work constantly," she continued.
When Kaye asked Jane "are you aware of getting older?", she replied: "I'm looking forward to it. Because I can slow down. I've achieved so many things in my life already, that I never thought I would. And I've got a really great circle of friends.
"So it's time now to have a bit of fun. And I've not really had much fun, because I've worked constantly, constantly for as long as I can remember. And I'm not touring next year or the year after. So you've got an exclusive there because they only think I'm only doing one year, but I'm now doing two.
"Because I want to have a bit of downtime, I'll still be doing all the TV shows. And that's great. You know, I love that. But the touring I found now is harder than it used to be. And, and I'm thinking well, why? Why are you doing it, just have a bit of a break and see how you feel."
