Fans of Jane McDonald are used to seeing the star with her signature shoulder-length locks, but back in 1999, she sported a completely different look. Pictured at the BAFTA Awards in an unearthed photo, the presenter can be seen rocking a cropped style, with her hair cut into a glossy bob. Looking seriously glam for the event, Jane opted for a zebra print bodycon dress, plus sparkling diamond earrings – gorgeous!

"At home I put an old tracksuit on and put my hair up in a scrunchy, but nobody sees that side of me," she said. "I like to maintain a little air of mystique, so you don't normally see me dressed down at all. I'll even put my lippy on to go out to the bin!"

Jane may prefer to get dressed up for public appearances, but she's always had a refreshing and inspiring attitude when it comes body confidence.

In a chat with James Martin on his Saturday morning cooking show, Jane spoke candidly about body image and making the most of her life and travels.
The glamorous 60-year-old said: "I'm not bothered what I look like in a swimming costume any more, I don't care. I get my costume on, I jump in places and I have a good time. I just really like to get involved with what's going on."

"A lovely lady," added another. Meanwhile, a third replied: "Beautiful."
© InstagramJane overhauled her health and fitness routine a few years ago, dropping two dress sizes in the process. The change came about when ITV asked her to appear on the reality show Sugar-Free Farm, where her eating habits came into focus, and ultimately changed.
Speaking to The Mirror in 2016, Jane discussed the experience and its effects. Reflecting on her typical diet before taking part in the programme, she said: "I worked long hours and would grab whatever I could on tour, or I'd just eat microwave meals.
"What made me so angry was when I found out just how much added sugar there is in pre-prepared food. It's literally in everything. I'd been consuming it for years, without even knowing it."
After taking part in the show, which saw Jane and other celebrities including The Chase's Mark Labbett and actress Jennifer Ellison detox from sugar and learn to cook healthy recipes, the star dropped from a size 12/14 to an 8. While the changes to her diet were initially challenging, Jane has since described her appearance on Sugar-Free Farm as one of the best things she's ever done.
