Jane McDonald’s love life
Jane found love with her fiancé Eddie Roth, after being married and divorced twice. Unfortunately, Eddie sadly died in March 2021 after a battle with lung cancer.
Jane and Eddie first met in 1980 when he was part of the band Liquid Gold. Jane previously told The Mirror: “He was a gorgeous pop star and I was a naive teenager from Yorkshire. But we went out for about 18 months. One day, I just got in my car and left. We never finished. Never fell out. I drove away never expecting to see him again.”
The pair met again in 2008 when Jane was working as a Loose Women panellist. Eddie, by then a drummer for The Searchers, made an appearance on This Morning. Consequently, they crossed paths.
Jane has since opened up about her grief, whilst starring on Loose Women. She said: “It is the support and the network that I have around me that has helped me through.
“I couldn’t have done it without the people around me.”
Let the Light In is available to pre-order and out on September 26.
