Jane McDonald breaks down in tears as she is overcome with emotion after partner's death

Tearful Jane McDonald couldn't hold it together as she returned to our screens last night.

The overcome singing star was overcome with emotion as she took some time out during her new safari travel show.

It has been a challenging few years for Jane, after her partner Ed Roth died from lung cancer last April at the age of 67 after her beloved mother died in 2018.

The 60-year-old explores Kenya on the Channel 5 programme and it all got a little too much for her.

The tearful host shared her experiences while enjoying her breakfast outside in the wilderness.

Sleeping under the stars has given her a new outlook on life and she just had to share it all with the viewers.

"It has swept me away with emotion and welcomed me into a world that hasn't changed for years. It has shown me the joy in the world around me, " she said.

"I had nothing here, but I actually had everything here," Jane said while getting tearful.

"I saw a shooting star last night, so sorry, it was like a message saying don't worry, everything is going to be ok."

The TV favourite continued: "We always think that time is a threat, but it isn't, time is a gift and I think if anything, it hit home with me last night it's how insignificant we all are here and how we worry about things that really don't matter.

"When you see the universe, and the planet like it is, it all makes sense and last night for me, all made sense.

"That's how powerful it was sleeping under the stars."

It's not the fire time Jane has been overcome in front of the nation.

She choked up during an appearance on The One Show, after reminiscing about her lost loved ones while discussing Holidaying with Jane McDonald.

A clip was shown where the singer got the opportunity to release baby turtles, and she said "I'm calling one Ed and one Jean," before opening up about how she felt about the experience.

Host Ronan Keating asked Jane about the special moment, with Jane responding: "I've just recently lost my partner and my mother at the same time."

She then choked up, before apologising: "Sorry my throat went there, always does when I talk about them.

"I just thought this is new life. Go out. You've just got to think that at the end of something comes something beautiful in new life. That's what we all have to remember."

When Eddie died, Jane heartbreakingly revealed his death 'took our future.'

Lung cancer is the third most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer deaths in the UK.

Jane first met the rocker, who was the drummer in The Searchers, at a club in Wakefield back in 1980, and they embarked on a teenage romance, as Jane was just 17 at the time.
