Jane McDonald tackles first on Channel 5 show 'before it's too late'

In an episode of Channel 5’s Cruising with Jane McDonald, viewers saw the star tackle one of her fears.

During the show, which was originally released back in 2021, the star took to Grand Cayman to take part in a rather unusual hobby.

However, while making her way to the island on a tender, due to the cruise ship being too large to dock in the port, it was clear Jane didn’t sound quite right.

In a voiceover, the Channel 5 star, who recently listed her house, explained to viewers: “I had a rotten cold last week, but I’m on the mend now, thanks for asking! So a day on the beach should blow the cobwebs away.”

As they approached the island, Jane highlighted how beautiful it was before heading off on her activity, where she decided to face one of her fears.

Booking a horse riding class on the beach, she confessed: “I’ve never done it before! I’m at an age now where I’m nearly 40, where I should just be trying other things. So I’m going to do it before it’s too late.”

Meeting up with some of the other passengers from the ship, Jane listened as the person leading the activity told them it was an easy thing to do while on the beach.

Although as he detailed, the only time they needed to do something was while they were in the water with the horses, the Channel 5 star made it clear she didn’t know that was involved.

When it came to the group going in the water with their horses, Jane praised the cruise to one of the members from the group.

She commented:“That’s what I love about cruising, you do things like this that you would never do anywhere else.”

In the end, Jane seemed to enjoy the experience as she was seen beaming and laughing on her horse, which was called Lady.

As the experience came to an end, the Channel 5 star was thrilled as she said: “That was amazing! Oh my god, it was just unbelievable. It was just incredible, so I’ve fought my fears again.

“I’ve gone swimming with horses bareback today, something that I would never have done if I hadn’t been on this cruise. What a day, what an experience, what a life!”

Elsewhere in the show, viewers saw Jane explore the ocean in a submarine and have fun at a local carnival
