Since she was thrust out of obscurity by BBC docusoap The Cruise in 1998, Jane McDonald has been one of Britain’s most beloved entertainers — as renowned for her charming and chirpy personality as for her powerful vocals. Born in 1963 in Wakefield, Yorkshire, McDonald cut her teeth performing on the pub and club circuit before becoming a singer on cruise ships. After her performances and natural star power were immortalised on The Cruise, she released her first covers album Jane McDonald, which spent three weeks at No.1, as well as her first Christmas single ‘Cruise Into Christmas’.
Music and TV
McDonald continued to release albums, including the top-10 charting Inspiration in 2000 and Jane in 2008; in 2001, she released footage of her sold-out concert at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on DVD. From 2004 to 2014, she served as a regular presenter on Loose Women, turning her into a mainstay on UK television. In the meantime, she’s performed numerous concert tours, and in 2010 released a live album, Live at the London Palladium. In 2014, she released new album The Singer Of Your Song, and in 2017 Hold the Covers Back; followed by the DVD, A Live Christmas Concert Special, in 2019. She released her most recent album, Let the Light In, in 2021.
McDonald has also been starring in the Channel 5 series Cruising with Jane McDonald since 2017, a travel docuseries that’s seen her explore the globe and all manner of cruise ships from big to small. The programme won a BAFTA Award for Best Feature in 2018, and has aired for seven series. On top of her television and music career, McDonald appeared as Grizabella in a 2015 Blackpool production of Cats, and in 2019 published the best-selling memoir Riding the Waves: My Story. In 2011, she was awarded a pavement plaque in recognition of her achievements by Wakefield Council.
In 2024 McDonald will embark on her new concert tour, the With All My Love tour. “The thrill of a live audience is what I love most about being a performer and it always takes me right back to the early days of my career, so I cannot wait to get back on the road once more to sing for you all,” McDonald says.
