Jane is an English singer, writer and actress. Over the course of her long career she’s published three novels and organised major fundraising events, including one for Children in Need. She was raised on horror stories written by the likes of Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov and E. M. Forster and adored Hammer Horror Films and, as a girl, she desperately wanted to be an actress, but her father forbade it. So instead she went to secretarial college. But she got her way in the end – our British audience might recognise her face: she’s been in EastEnders, Holby City and Midsomer Murders among others. She lives with her very practical husband, who’s her complete opposite and thinks she should take life easier, and has three grown-up children and eleven grandchildren. She doesn’t really do social media. Probably very wise.
