Jane McDonald is set to take a break from the limelight after sharing a bit of happy news.
The 59-year-old singer and TV presenter told fans she won't have as public a profile for a while as there is a new arrival in her family.
Jane lost her fiancé Eddie Rothe to lung cancer back in April 2021 and she's been heartbreakingly open about how it's taking her time to adjust to life without him.
Jane has now shared that the family has a new arrival to look forward to and she wants to be able to concentrate on this.
Speaking on How to be 60 with Kaye Adams podcast, Jane said that she wanted some time at home, to be with her family and to start being creative again.
The TV star said: "I want to be here for my family. My niece is just about to have a baby and we’re all very excited about that.
“I want to be around for them all.”
Former Loose Women star Jane also announced that she was putting plans of being in the spotlight on hold for the time being.
She continued: "I think it's made me realise actually, how many summers have we got left. And I want to do so much. I want to go on holiday, instead of filming one.
"I want to be creative. I want to have time in my lovely home. You know, and I want to be here for my family.
"You know, my niece is just about to have a baby. And we're all very excited about that.
"And I want to be around, I want to be around for them all just for a while to like sort myself out and then stop working as much as I do. Because I work constantly."
Kaye asked Jane: "Are you aware of getting older?"
Jane replied: "I'm looking forward to it. Because I can slow down. I've achieved so many things in my life already, that I never thought I would. And I've got a really great circle of friends.
"So it's time now to have a bit of fun. And I've not really had much fun, because I've worked constantly, constantly for as long as I can remember."
