She’d become synonymous with the channel thanks to her hit Cruising with Jane McDonald series.

Taking to her blog as her departure hit the news, she shared: “By now you will have seen the news about me stepping away from my shows on Channel 5.

“It’s been an incredible four and a half years of travelling, 38 cruises and over 100 flights. It’s now time for me to spend some time in the UK, concentrate on my music and tours and exciting new projects.
