Jane McDonald became choked up as she made an appearance on The One Show. The former Loose Women star was on the BBC show on Thursday night (January 12) to promote her new travel show which returns to Channel 5 on Friday night.
The start of the new series of Holidaying with Jane McDonald sees Jane head off to Mexico before visiting Cyrpus. And as she appeared on The One Show, a clip was shared which showed the 59-year-old getting to release baby turtles. She was heard saying: "I'm calling one Ed and one Jean," before sharing how she felt emotional by the experience.
When prompted to share the poignancy of the moment by host Ronan Keating, Jane shared: "I've just recently lost my partner and my mother at the same time." The star then choked up, adding: "Sorry my throat went there, always does when I talk about them."
Jane sadly lost her partner, Eddie Rothe, last March when he died from lung cancer. It came after the singer lost her mother in 2018. Continuing to speak about the special moment with the turtles, she added: "I just thought this is new life...You've got to think at the end of something comes something beautiful in new life. It was quite an emotional bit for me."
But the mood was soon lightened when Jane continued to chat about her show. However, she did end up having to shut down One Show co-host Alex Jones when she made the wrong assumption.
A clip was shown which saw Jane whizzing through the air on a zip wire in Las Vegas. "Well George," Alex said to Jane's fellow guest George Ezra. "Jane, she doesn't care, does she? She gets on the rollercoaster and here's what happened," she added before the clip played.
"It goes all the way through this massive mall in the old strip," Jane explained before Alex claimed: "It looks like it's going quite slow to be fair..." but Jane was quick to interject: "No it's not!" As Alex, George, Ronan and the crew burst out laughing, Jane added: "I just thought I'd get that in."
"No, it's going quite quickly that," she added as the clips continued to play. "Sorry about that, Jane," Ronan said before their guest added again: "Can you see my hair flowing in the background? That's because it's quite fast." As Ronan said it was a 'give away', Alex added: "Fair enough," and tried to move on.
