Jane McDonald is always delighting her fans, whether it’s with her latest travels or exciting music updates. But this week, the 62-year-old singer and TV personality surprised everyone with a special announcement.
On Tuesday, Jane made a glamorous appearance at Pinderfields Hospital in her hometown of Wakefield to open a new MRI diagnostic suite. This location holds personal significance for Jane, as her late fiancé, Eddie Rothe, passed away at Wakefield Hospice in 2021, which is near the hospital.
Looking flawless in an all-black ensemble, Jane exuded confidence in a tailored blazer, a buttoned-up blouse, and a pair of stylish skinny jeans. She accessorized with a delicate pearl necklace featuring a black heart, completing the look with her hair styled in a voluminous blow-dry and natural makeup highlighting her beauty.
In her heartfelt post, Jane shared: “I had a wonderful day opening the MRI diagnostic suite at Pinderfields Hospital. Felt very proud and humbled to be amongst the people who made this happen. Congratulations to you all.”
Fans quickly took to the comments, showering Jane with praise, with one writing, “Deserve a Damehood,” another adding, “Lady Mayoress McDonald. Icon!” A third fan posted, “Queen Jane always.”
Recent Updates and Exciting News
Jane also thrilled fans last month with a big announcement: she will be returning to host the British Soap Awards after a one-year hiatus.
Her social media post read: “The British Soap Awards are back! And who better to host than the fabulous Jane McDonald! More details coming soon!” Fans flooded the comments with excitement, with one person writing, “This deserves an award in itself,” and another saying, “Jane was incredible last time! Glad she is hosting again.”
Speaking to the Radio Times about her return, Jane shared her enthusiasm: “I’m beyond excited to be hosting The British Soap Awards again as I had such a ball hosting the awards last time. You all know I love my soaps, so to be in a room giving recognition to all these wonderful actors and their fantastic hard work is simply joyous. I can’t wait to get my glittery frock on and celebrate with everyone.”
Jane’s Love of Soaps
Jane has long been a fan of soap operas, and last year, she expressed her passion for the genre. “It’s a celebration, it’s not just a TV show. It’s a celebration of all those amazing actors who are in our homes every night, who put their hearts into everything. I think they are the hardest working people in the business,” she said. “Yes, I was invited to the party, but I loved it because I’m passionate about the show.”
When asked about the possibility of a cameo on a soap, Jane revealed, “I’ve been asked several times. I should really go on Emmerdale because I’ve got my own room in that B&B.”
