Jane McDonald delighted viewers with her return to the small screen on Saturday, 15 March, in an episode of her Channel 5 travel series, Jane McDonald’s Florida.
The beloved TV personality embarked on a Floridian adventure, exploring hotspots such as Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, the Florida Keys, and Miami. The latest instalment featured her journey through the Florida Keys, where she enthusiastically engaged in various activities, including boat trips and paragliding.
In a particularly memorable moment, Jane overcame her reservations and swam with a manatee. She later expressed her joy at having seized the opportunity, sharing some heartfelt advice with her audience.
Jane remarked: “I’m really glad I took the plunge and I did that. Sometimes I think, ‘am I going to be alright?’. You know, because I’m nearly 40 now. And then I get in, and I have the time of my life,” followed by laughter.
“And I think this is what we forget. Life is about making memories. It doesn’t matter what age you are. Just get in the water, as cold as it is, and come face to face with a manatee. Because, it is something you will never ever forget,” reports Lancs Live.
This episode comes on the heels of the announcement that she will be launching another travel series, which will see her journey from the icy landscapes of Antarctica to the Arctic.
Channel 5 has announced an exciting venture with a new series named Pole to Pole, which will be comprised of six episodes. Jane will guide viewers through various stunning locations in each episode, including the remote Antarctic wilderness and vibrant countries like Uruguay and Brazil, as well as European delights in Greece and Italy, and into the Arctic Circle.
The channel enticed audiences saying: “In this ultimate voyage of discovery, Jane will traverse continents, oceans, and time zones, experiencing the wonders of the world in her signature style-combining luxury travel with breathtaking landscapes and global adventure.”
Jane discussed her upcoming journey, expressing: “I’m packing my bags and setting sail again on a brand new adventure with 5 and JetSetTV. We are going to the ends of the earth to bring some spectacular places into your living rooms. Get the wine open or a cuppa ready, we are going on an adventure.”
