Jane McDonald is a household name. Since staring on the BBC One documentary series, The Cruise, the 58-year old has regularly appeared on Loose Women, and has hosted shows of her own, including Holidaying with Jane McDonald, which screens on Channel 5 on Sunday night.
But despite her success, the proud Yorkshirewoman recently revealed during an interview on BBC Radio 4 she lived at home with her mum until she was 45. She said: “I wasn’t an only child. I still have a brother and sister. But I was the one who stayed at home until she was 45.”
She then explained that because she was working away so much, she always used her family home as a base: “I was out working all the time and I was able to pay for the bills and I had my mother at home looking after me. My brother and sister got married and they have been in great relationships all of their lives. For me, it just didn’t happen that way. I’m just slightly different to the two of them, which is not a bad thing.”
