Jane McDonald has revealed she's unsure if fiance Eddie Rothe still wants to get married after 12 year engagement.
The singer, who quit her popular TV series Cruising With Jane McDonald so she could spend more time at home, has revealed her thoughts have turned to planning her wedding but she admits she has some reservations.
'You're right, I do have the time, so it might be something I think about. It was always on the back-burner before. But it's been so long that I'll have to ask him and see whether he still wants to do it!' she joked in an interview with My Weekly.
The couple, who have been engaged for almost 12 years haven't been in a rush to head down the aisle. Jane previously believed, "If it's not broke, don't fix it."
Jane has been in lockdown since Mid-March in the West Yorkshire home she shares with Eddie, who is former drummer of the 1960's band The Searchers. The global health crisis has made her re-think her priorities. She said, 'With such awfulness going on, I've realised there's more to life than work.
Will Jane McDonald retire?
She continued, 'That said, I'm definitely not going to be retiring - I've always got something in the pipeline. I just want to try different TV and music projects, things that don't involve travel.'
Avoiding burn-out, Jane stepped back from her TV series after spending four years on the road.
