In a statement at the time, she said: "It has been an incredible 10 years for me on Loose Women and I've loved every minute of it.

"I've got a busy and exciting year coming up with a new album and national concert tour. So the time is right for me to step aside from Loose Women and concentrate on new opportunities.

The star used to be a permanent fixture on the panel

The 58-year-old's hair hung loose past her shoulders and she beamed as she looked at the camera.

Jane captioned the picture: "I've been doing some more filming in #Yorkshire - having a great time!"

Her fans were quick to compliment her style, and to share their appreciation for her talent.

One replied: "Great photo, luv the coat too. Being completely selfish the more you film the more we get to see you on tv but hope you are not working too hard."
