Jane has been exploring the finer things in life as a regular co-host of Luxury Escapes, alongside Melbourne chef Khanh Ong.

Captioning a vibrant video montage of the duo's visit to Bangkok last week, she wrote: 'I am VERY aware of how bloody lucky I am to do this job, year after year. Truly a career highlight. Especially this one! Back to reality now... Love from Jane X.'
Jane has previously co-hosted episodes of Luxury Escapes: The World's Best Holidays with fellow Aussie chef Miguel Maestre, but teamed up with MasterChef alum Khanh, 31, on season five of the Foxtel series.
'Lucky to be sharing this experience with him!' she captioned a recent 'appreciation post' for her travel partner, whom she described as a: 'Fashionista. Prankster. Professional (and loads more that is not fit for Insta).'
Other high-profile hosts of the envy-inspiring series include Cameron Daddo, Rebecca Gibney, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Holly Kingston, Neale Whitaker, Sophie Falkiner, and Shane Jolley.
The mother-of-one kept her longtime fans up-to-date with her travels from Bali, to Bangkok, and beyond - after making another surprising career change.
'Back at it, guys. Uni means trains and study. If you're wondering where I've disappeared to…' Jane captioned a recent selfie.
She has returned to study Midwifery – a career the multi-talented actress put on hold to star in the eighth and final season of Wentworth.
Speaking to the Herald Sun in 2019, Jane revealed she had put her layperson ambitions on pause because she 'was a super fan' of the acclaimed Aussie prison drama.
'I had to get this role, I wanted so badly to be in Wentworth,' she said.
'I wrote, "Thank you for this job," on a piece of paper every day until I got it.'
Jane, who played Rebecca Robinson for four years on popular soap Neighbours, had just finished placement at the Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne when she got the call up to play prison General Manager Anne Reynolds in the penultimate season.
'The adrenaline I feel in when I'm in a room when a woman is giving birth is not unlike what we experience when we're truly in the moment performing,' she explained.
'It requires a lot of passion and it's very joyful, just like acting.'
Jane didn't step away from the small screen for long, as in 2024 she starred alongside Annette Bening, Sam Neill and Alison Brie in Peacock's Apples Never Fall.
She also picked up a huge credit as the voice of Rusty's Mum in popular ABC Kids' series Bluey.
Jane began her acting career in 1985 with a guest role in the television series The Henderson Kids.
She then starred in Home And Away as Rebecca Nash before joining the cast of comedy series All Together Now playing Anna Sumner alongside Rebecca Gibney.
Jane then joined Neighbours in 2007 and remained on the long running soap drama playing Rebecca Napier until the end of 2010.
She met her husband Vince Colosimo in 1994 on the set of A Country Practice, but the pair separated in 2007 after 11 years together.
Vince is best known for his portrayal of Alphonse Gangitano in the first Underbelly TV series and as Neville Bartos in the movie Chopper.

I went to the world's biggest Wetherspoons with a rooftop bar overlooking a sandy beach – it rivals Ibiza in the summer
I'M peering out over a golden sandy beach, a palm plant tickling my arms as I enjoy the 32C heat with my beer. If you're guessing I'm somewhere in Ibiza or Majorca, you'd be wrong by just over a thousands miles. 4 Just a short train away from my hometown (or from London, around 75 minutes) is the Royal Victoria Pavilion Wetherspoons. But this isn't any old Spoons - it 's the biggest in the UK, therefore also the world's biggest (seeing as they are yet to branch out to anywhere abroad). The 11,000sqft space can now fit up to 1,500 punters after a £750,000 renovation last year. So there was no better place to spend the afternoon during the scorching weather trailing across the UK. From the outside it looks just as impressive, complete with a silver mermaid on the roof and Grade II listed features. And while it looks huge on the inside, with a central winding staircase taking you to the top mezanine, its the outside space that is the star of the show. The outdoor rooftop terrace wraps around the entire building, with enough tables and chairs to fit hundreds. The best views are found at the very back, with pub backing onto Ramsgate's artificial sandy beach. I managed to secure a prime table in the middle, with views of the huge stretch dotted with sandcastle builders and sea swimmers. An older couple were even a few tables away facing the sun, sleeves and shorts rolled up with their eyes closed as they tried to tan alongside their pints. One of the UK's prettiest Wetherspoons is in an up-and-coming seaside town 4 A commitment, when the beach was just steps away. And despite barely being lunch time, the place definitely was already picking up with it already more than half full of people getting their orders in. Littered with palm plants and metal tables, it certainly felt like I was abroad rather than in a Kent town. Especially when I could just about hear the baseline of some music from someones speakers at the beach... If you prefer doing some boat window shopping, you can grab a table on the right side overlooking the harbour. Or the front side of the roof terrace which overlooks the streets - certainly the lesser of the spots to grab. Don't worry if you can't handle the heat either. Downstairs is a smaller beach terrace that is fully shaded, but still with views of the beach. You'll have to go around to get to the beach however, with no direct access but instead via an entry point next to the Wetherspoons. But if you want that cheap beach club vibe without having to hop on a plane or buy an expensive drink - the Royal Victorian Pavilion is your best bet. Here is everything else you need to do in Ramsgate. And we've rounded up some of the best rooftop bars in London as well.

EastEnders favourite joins rival soap – 20 years after being brutally killed off
Henna Sharma, TV Reporter Published: Invalid Date, EASTENDERS favourite makes shock return to soap world - 20 years after brutal exit. A much-loved EastEnders star is back on our screens - but this time, they're shaking things up in Summer Bay, Australia. 4 Hannah Waterman made her Walford debut back in 2000 as Laura Beale. She was best known as Ian Beale's (Adam Woodyatt) third wife. But, she was brutally killed off four years later when she went to answer the door and tripped over a toy before falling down the stairs and dying. Chaos followed as Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) found herself accused of murdering Laura - after a damning receipt turned up in Laura's flat following one of their explosive rows. The gripping death plot had fans hooked and went down as one of the most unforgettable moments in EastEnders history. Since her exit, Hannah has appeared in episodes of Doctors, The Bill, New Tricks and Holby City. She swapped the UK for Australia over adecade ago and made waves starring in Aussie dramas. Now based in Sydney, Hannah's credits include the Aussie-Indonesian hit Bali 2002. But, her new gig on Home and Away marks a proper return to the soap scene. This year, the iconic Aussie soap celebrated a whopping 35 years on air, with special reruns on a dedicated channel to mark the milestone. Forgotten soap star shows off huge £27million LA mansion after quitting fame and marrying a multimillionaire Home and Away first hit screens on January 17, 1988. Channel 5 snapped up the rights in 2000 - and they've been pumping out fresh episodes ever since. A source said: 'Hannah moved to Australia years ago for a new life but she's still acting. 'She loved dipping her toes back into the world of soap briefly and who knows it could mean she finds her way back more permanently.' Forgotten soap storylines The nation's soaps have had many gripping storylines play out over the years. However, some plots proved to be far less memorable. Here are some forgotten stories from Weatherfield, Walford and more... Coronation Street Ken and Audrey's romance (2015): After the death of wife Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride), Coronation Street original Ken Barlow (William Roache) started to move on in his life. He started to develop a spark with old friend Audrey (Sue Nicholls), with then-Corrie boss saying it would be like "Ross and Rachel". In the end, nothing ever came of it and the two remained platonic pals. Beth's bigamy (2016): Despite being happily married to Kirk (Andrew Whyment), a troubling secret came to light about Beth Tinker (Lisa George). It transpired that she had never divorced from her first husband, Darryl (Paul Loughran), father of her son Craig (Colson Smith). Although Craig and Kirk were shocked - and Beth was arrested - the storyline didn't didn't go much further. EastEnders Kat Slater's secret son (2017): Capitalising on the popularity of Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Alfie (Shane Richie), the two received a spin-off back in 2017. Titled 'Redwater', it saw the two travel to Ireland where they met long-lost son Luke, now called Dermott Dolan, played by Oisín Stack. Despite the high-tension events during Redwater, Kat seems to have put the experience behind her as Dermott's not been mentioned since. Alfie's brain tumour (2015): Having learned in 2015 that he had a brain tumour, Alfie kept the news from Kat until their trip to Ireland. At the time, actor Shane Ritchie revealed fans would see a change in Alfie as he battled the illness. It would appear that at some point after leaving the Square, was told the tumour was non-malignant. By the time Alfie returned in 2022, fans were left confused over what had happened to the storyline. Kathy and Buster's affair (2016): In 2016, Walford legend Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) fell into the arms of convict Buster Briggs, played by Karl Howman. Buster was the long-time lover of Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) and fathered both her sons - Mick (Danny Dyer) and Dean (Matt Di Angelo). When Buster left, he begged Kathy to join him, but she refused for the sake of her family. Meanwhile Buster didn't even stop to say goodbye to Shirley before exiting with a broken heart. Fans expected a showdown between the two women, but this never came to pass. Emmerdale Jacob's OCD (2016): After his dad, David (Matthew Wolfenden), was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2016, Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) developed Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This manifested in the form of cleaning. Jacob's OCD made a brief return one year on, after David had another scare after finding a lump. Jacob frantically searched the bins for a 'lucky coin' that had accidentally been thrown away. Despite stressful situations - such as being groomed by his teacher Maya, losing his fiancee Leanna to a serial killer, dealing with mum Leyla's drug addiction, and surviving a stabbing - the condition doesn't appear to have returned. Marlon and Charity's fling (2003): Few fans would likely remember few will remember the one-night stand between Charity (Emma Atkins) and Marlon (Mark Charnock) in 2003. The pair slept together when Charity was staying with Marlon while still under suspicion for husband Chris's supposed "murder". Hollyoaks Alex Browning's revenge plot (2014): Fans expected a confrontation when Dr Browning's son Alex (Ojan Genc) mer stepmum Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe). After all, Mercedes, with Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring) and Lindsey Butterfield (Sophie Austin) had murdered Alex's dad, double-murderer Dr Paul Browning, after he kidnapped and attacked his new wife. In fact, the soap teased Alex would seek revenge for his father's death upon arriving. However, he instead gave Cindy's son Hilton (his half-brother) a life-saving transplant, became his godfather, and leaving the village soon after. The new role comes three years after Hannah tied the knot to former The Bill star husband Huw Higginson. Huw is most notable for his ten-year role in The Bill as PC George Garfield. Huw posted a celebratory shot showing their special day in October 2022 as they posed with their son Jack, 11, on a boat in Sydney. The Bill actor gushed in his caption: "Got married to my love yesterday. We had the best of days." Hannah can be seen gazing lovingly at her spouse as they celebrated their special day. She wore a patterned, long-sleeve blue frock - perhaps as her something blue - complete with gold strappy sandals and a navy pashmina. She clutched a bouquet of cream flowers and accessorised with a pair of sunglasses. The happy couple made the move to Australia in 2014. It came after Hannah married fellow EastEnders star Ricky Groves in 2006. But, the pair separated in 2010 and divorced in 2014. 4 4

Inspirational burns survivor Turia Pitt reveals new career move after being forced to change her life as she was 'pushing her own needs aside'
Burns survivor Turia Pitt has launched her new book. The Aussie athlete, who was tragically caught in a grassfire while competing in a 100km ultra-marathon in 2011, has released her latest project titled Selfish, which examines 'how to unlearn the rules that are breaking you'. Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the 37-year-old revealed that she thought the word 'selfish' was in need of a rebrand, encouraging people to empower themselves and take the right measures to avoid burnout. 'We're told that being selfish is bad. That we should always think of others, put everyone else first, push our own needs aside,' she wrote in the post's caption. 'I bought into that story. And it led me straight to burnout. This is the book I wish I had during that time.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She went on to say that she wrote the book for people who have ever felt 'stretched too thin, lost, or like you're living by someone else's rules.' Selfish, which is Turia's fifth book, is set to hit shelves in October but can be pre-ordered now. In 2023, it was revealed that the much-anticipated movie about Pitt starring Home and Away actress Tammin Sursok had stalled. In 2019, Tammin announced she was set to play the courageous athlete who sustained horrific burn injuries to 64 percent of her body in a wildfire 14 years ago. But Turia told The Daily Telegraph that further talks with the US-based actress had been put off. 'That was on the cards but not at the moment,' the mother of two said of the proposed biopic. She added: 'It is not something that is at the top of my priority list. Every day, I am not like, ''let's try and get this movie made''. I am not doing that at all.' 'Whether or not a film gets made, I don't really think it is in my control. 'I think I would be (involved),' she said. 'That would be really weird if someone made a movie and I just saw it on the TV. That would be quite strange.' In 2011, Turia survived against the odds after getting caught in a wildfire while competing in an ultramarathon in Western Australia. The Celebrity Apprentice star was left with horrific burns and later became a motivational speaker. In 2023, she opened up about the aftermath of the tragedy 11 years on, and said she 'wanted to die' during the early stages of her hospitalisation. Fortunately, Turia found the will to live and she went on to become a successful motivational speaker who has shared her story with thousands of people. Meanwhile, Sursok is best known to viewers for her role as the character of Dani Sutherland in Home in Away. The South African-born Australian star appeared in the iconic soap from 2000 to 2004.
