The 'Cruising With Jane McDonald' star's Channel 5 series has proven to be so popular, she's in talks to join her fans out on the sea on a floating adventure, where she'd also provide the entertainment.

She told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "It's something we've talked about, 'cause I've got a massive fan base who watch me as an artist as well.

"It has come up a few times to do a Jane McDonald cruise, which would be fabulous.

"I like to have a good time, so hosting my own ship would be the cherry on the cake."

Earlier this year, the 55-year-old presenter won a BAFTA for Best Feature for the show and she joked if she gets another statuette next year, she'll expand her business ventures even further.

She said: "If I ever get another, I'll do a Bafta workout 'cause they're really, really heavy. Like a Davina DVD but a Bafta one."

However, Jane thinks there's a limit to how successful she could be because she doesn't think she could crack America because of her northern accent, though she's found she's popular across the world, much to her astonishment.

She said: "It would be brilliant, but I'm too Yorkshire, aren't I? They wouldn't understand me.

"It's shown in Australia. They get my accent out there. Everyone in Australia talks like me.

"I could not believe the amount of people who I bumped into there that were from Yorkshire. Australia are loving the show."

The presenter visited Australia for her upcoming show, 'Jane McDonald Cruising Down Under', and had a "hairy" moment swimming with crocodiles.

She said: "That was a bit hairy. When you've got a tiny bit of Perspex between you and a 12-foot crocodile and you can see its teeth."
