Jane McDonald becomes emotional over ‘life-changing’ trip
Jane McDonald’s most recent Channel 5 travel programme saw her journey through Kenya and experience her first-ever safari. At the end of the episode, Jane made an emotional confession about what the trip meant to her. She shared: “Last night was one of the most eventful nights of my life. I had nothing here, but I actually had everything here. I also saw a shooting star last night, and it was like a message, saying ‘don’t worry’.”
Jane began to tear up as she continued: “We always think that time is a threat. But it isn’t, time is a gift. We worry about things that really don’t matter, when you see the universe and the planets like it is, it all makes sense. And last night, for me, it all made sense. That’s how powerful it was, for me, sleeping under the stars. I’m grateful, I’m thankful, I’m blessed and emotional.”
Jane McDonald is a national treasure and needs protecting at all costs.
Jane’s fiancé Eddie Rothe died of lung cancer in 2021. Jane told Entertainment Daily she went through a “very dark and painful time” losing both her partner and her mother so close together.
