It was a nostalgic moment for Jane as she reminisced about the times she would dock there while she was working on the cruise ships.

As the 59-year-old arrived at her hotel, she was thrilled to see she had a stunning sea view.

"Oh, look at this," the presenter beamed as she inspected her hotel room, before adding: "It feels so good to be back here in Fort Lauderdale."

Speaking about the moment she met her ex-husband Henrik Brixen, Jane continued: "I've got great memories here.

"I used to dock every single week when I was working on the cruise ships, so I got to know Fort Lauderdale quite well.

"And then, when I met Henrik all those years ago, he had a house here so I stayed here quite a lot.

"I've got some great friends who still live here. So I'm hoping to meet up with them as well."

Jane met Henrik while filming the BBC series, The Cruise, with him working onboard the ship as a plumbing engineer.

After a whirlwind romance, they tied the knot in 1998 and he became Jane's manager.

However, things didn't go to plan because four years later the pair split up as Henrik felt he was holding Jane back in her career.
