Jane McDonald Life

Jane Ann McDonald (born 4 April 1963) is an award winning English singer, songwriter, actress, media personality and broadcaster, who became known to the public in 1998 after her appearance on the BBC show The Cruise.

Personal life

In 1998, she married Henrik , a ship's plumbing engineer, who later became her manager. Their relationship was detailed in a special edition of Terrill's docusoap, called The Cruise Special: Jane Ties the Knot, which was broadcast on BBC One on 10 July 1998. Brixen later admitted that he did not understand the music industry, and the couple split in 2003, largely for the sake of her career.
