A Personal Motivation Behind Joining the Show

In a candid revelation, Jane Moore has opened up about her participation in this season's *I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!* on ITV, sharing a deeply personal motivation behind her decision. The 62-year-old journalist said that witnessing the impact of Alzheimer's disease on her beloved elderly mother has instilled in her a profound understanding that life is fleeting.

Seizing a Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity

Previously approached to join the popular reality show, Jane had always turned down the offer. However, after reflecting on her life and the recent loss of friends, she decided to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity after her divorce from husband Gary Farrow in 2022. "I've been rattling around in an empty house with a lot of 'me time'," she noted, sparking her desire for adventure.

Cherishing Every Moment

She shared, “I consider myself incredibly fortunate to be here, especially as I've seen close friends leave us too soon. I want to cherish every moment of my life while I still can.” Jane's poignant discussion about her mother’s battle with dementia serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and how quickly circumstances can change. "Seeing my mum's vibrant life fade due to Alzheimer's has pushed me to reflect personally. It's a cliché, but it's true—our time here is limited."

The Selection Process

In a heartfelt column for *The Sun*, Jane detailed her selection process for the show, which included a visit to the production office in London and undergoing a series of medical examinations. "I passed the medical and psychological evaluations. Then I had a couple of weeks filled with blissful denial about what was coming," she recalled. The journey culminated in a photoshoot that ended her moment of denial when she donned the iconic outfit for the show's opening credits.

Joining the Ranks of *Loose Women* Stars

In her courageous endeavor, Jane joins the ranks of other *Loose Women* stars who have previously taken on the jungle challenge. Notable contestants include Janet Street-Porter, who participated in the 2004 season, reaching the final stages, and Linda Robson, who was voted out in the early rounds of the 2012 season.

Anticipation for the New Season

As the new season kicks off this Sunday, fans can expect to see more than just entertainment; they will witness Jane's journey of self-discovery and resilience in the face of life's challenges. Tune in to find out how she embraces her adventure in the jungle while keeping the memory of her mother's vibrant spirit alive!
