Michael McIntyre’s Big Show: Who is Jonathan Ross’ wife, Jane Goldman?

Jonathan Ross became the latest celebrity to fall victim to Send to All on Saturday’s, January 28 episode of Michael McIntyre’s Big Show on BBC One. The 62-year-old TV and radio host entrusted McIntyre with his phone, as he sent a hilarious text to his entire contact book.

Upon looking at Ross’ phone, Michael couldn’t contain his excitement when he discovered a video that The Masked Singer star had created on an app his wife. “I don’t know whether you should open that,” warned Ross, “[This app] films you singing different parts of a song and it puts them together so you’ve done an acapella version of a song. My wife and I have done a couple to send to the kids, however, if you show this then I can never go home again.”

With that, the video was played in all its glory, showing Ross and wife Jane singing a rendition of ‘Only You’ by Yazoo. The couple have been married since 1988. But who exactly is Jane Goldman and where might you have seen her name before?
