Red-faced Jane McDonald issued apology over being ‘too heavy’

She visits India during a recent episode

Jane McDonald apologised after a rickshaw trip on her recent adventure left her feeling more than a little embarrassed.

The 59-year-old former cruise ship singer set sail on the Ganges Voyager as part of her Channel 5 series Cruising With Jane McDonald.

After leaving Kolkata in India, Jane was then seen stopping at her next location of Kalma.

She was then seen preparing a less tourist-y excursion, telling viewers she was about to go on a trip.

And that, it seems, is where she was left a little red-faced.
