Cruising with Jane McDonald

Singer Jane McDonald's living it up as she kicks off the first of a two-part voyage to South America in Channel 5's Crusing with Jane McDonald.

After sampling Australia and New Zealand, this week sees Jane embark on a wonderful South American cruise, aboard a seriously luxurious ship where there seem to be a few drinks on the menu!

As Jane heads down the Chile coast, she takes a wee dram of whisky on the rocks, chilled by ice taken directly from a glacier on Laguna San Rafael.

Then it’s off to Patagonia for cocktails and lunch with a local family before Jane makes her way to the Falklands for an emotional and revealing chat with war veterans at a pub.

Then, as Jane arrives in Argentina, it’s time for a boogie as Jane has a spirited go at the tango.

We’ve a feeling Strictly might not be calling just yet!
