“I’m single, and I chose this place because I didn’t want to be on a romantic island, on my own, looking at couples everywhere.
“So this place is very open to singles coming here as well as couples… it’s really up to you if you have a quiet holiday or a full active holiday.”
Jane’s generous gesture in Eddie’s memory
Jane lost Eddie at the end of March last year, announcing the news in early April on her social media to an outpouring of support from fans.
