The Mirror that she is looking forward to the prospect of living life on her own terms, after feeling the pressure to watch her weight during her tours."You’ve got to really concentrate on keeping fit when you’re on tour, so it would be nice to think, ‘I’m going to stay up and have another pie!’” she joked."I want to be able to eat what I want and have a late night if I want."The star, who rose to fame in her 30s after appearing on the 1998 docusoap The Cruise, was also left shaken and saddened by the death of fiance Eddie.Hailing from the music world like her, he was perhaps best known for being the former drummer in Liquid Gold.The pair were planning a long-term future together, only for it to be taken from them when he succumbed to lung cancer last spring.Her relationship with Eddie had been a chance at finding happiness with a partner again after her previous ill-fated marriage with a plumber she had met while touring in the Caribbean.After their televised wedding, former husband Henrik gave up his career to become Jane's manager, which eventually soured the waters between them.Speaking in her autobiography Riding The Waves: My Story, she confessed: "Your manager is your boss and tells you what to do, what to wear and who to be, so our relationship changed."I loved him with all my heart, but felt he’d stopped looking at me as a wife.
