But she's now returned to the UK and at the weekend, she took the opportunity to share some snapshots from a fun day out – which her followers were quick to respond to.

The former Loose Women panellist took to Instagram, where she posted some shots from Car Fest.

The travel show queen launched her latest programme on Friday, Lost in Japan. A few days before the exciting occasion, she released some photos of herself in traditional Japanese dress.

Jane posed in a series of beautiful kimonos, including a stunning item that featured a mesmerising floral pattern with dozens of shades of greens and blues as she strolled through a neighbourhood.
