Jane is currently filming a new property and interior design show for BBC1 daytime.
Jane is welsh, warm and a hugely experienced presenter in all areas of television, radio and corporate work.
Born in Cardiff, Jane started presenting on the breakfast show at Red Dragon FM, quickly moved on to a TV travel series for HTV Wales (Time Out) and then moved to London where the work has been non-stop ever since.
With a B.S.c(hons) in Geology/Environmental Science and a natural flair for making science crystal clear Jane was the obvious choice for BBC1’s hit series ‘X-perimental’, which involved blowing up cars and firing melons through the air!
Jane has filmed the Southern Right Whales in South Africa, presented and directed over 50 travel shows from Florida, Holland and Greece and worked with Ant & Dec on ITV1’s Record of the Year.
A proud mum of two boys Ethan and Alfie and could talk for hours on pregnancy and parenthood.
Jane is also a qualified interior designer with a passion for property developing and has recently bought her first overseas property in Paphos, Cyprus.
Working for Pricedrop.tv and NOW has given Jane over 500 hours of live TV experience and with regular corporate clients she is also the perfect chose for exhibitions, trade shows and videos.
Another string to Jane’s bow is voice over work, which includes continuity announcing for five, Challenge, Livingtv and ITV2.
