Loose Women legend Jane McDonald returned to the ITV show on Tuesday to discuss her new series and the TV personality wasted no time in making a cheeky x-rated confession.

Speaking about her new Channel 5 series Lost in Japan, Jane revealed: “I did some sumo wrestling, I did ninja and they don’t tell me anything until [filming]. I didn’t know I had to strip off naked to get into a spa, I would have sorted myself out if you know what I mean.”

The Loose Women audience erupted alongside host Jane Moore and panellists Denise Welch, Linda Robson and Brenda Edwards over Jane’s revelation as she continued: “Usually I’m covered-up. I did feel sorry for John, the cameraman.”

ITV viewers were thrilled to see her back on the Loose Women panel as one fan tweeted: “What’s not to like about Jane McDonald. She’s so natural & genuine. Love her #Janemcdonald #loosewomen.”

Another wrote: “@TheJaneMcDonald It was grand to see you back on @loosewomen today, Jane. I really miss you being on the panel. That brilliant Yorkshire humour always used to give me a giggle & – being a Donny lad myself – always appealed to my Yorkshire sense of humour. Tha’s a grand lass.”

“Love Jane McDonald. A legend, an icon. #LooseWomen,” a third added and someone else shared: “How brilliant to see @TheJaneMcDonald back in the panel today, wouldn’t it be great to see her back more often….”

Elsewhere on Loose Women, Jane opened up on whether she would date again following the death of her beloved fiancé Eddie Rothe, who died of lung cancer in March 2021.

“I was very blessed to have a great relationship and I don’t feel as if my life needs a man to complete it. I’m not saying I’m never gonna date again, I think that would be lovely. But, I don’t feel as if I need someone in my life to make it complete,” she told the panel.

Jane went on to share that she feels a “sense of freedom” at no longer sharing her home with a male companion. “I don’t have to put the light out at a certain time, I can read in bed till four o’clock in the morning. I don’t think I can go through dating again.”
