Jane McDonald was moved to tears during a classic episode of her travel series, 'Jane McDonald: Lost in Japan', after receiving an emotional fortune. The former cruise ship singer was given an O-mikuji, a traditional Japanese paper strip that reveals one's fortune, while filming for the Channel 5 show.
As she nervously asked her tour guide if there was anything bad in the fortune, McDonald read aloud: 'Wow. I feel as if I was strongly on the spring fields with my family, so comfortable.' Struggling to hold back tears, she added, 'Wow, that is quite emotional actually, isn't it?'
The fortune continued: 'You could realise almost everything as if you could drive easily on a downhill road. Work hard and believe and you will be successful just like grass grows thanks to the rain heaven gives.' McDonald, visibly relieved, asked the guide if it was good luck, and was reassured it was.
In a warm embrace, she thanked the guide for enriching her understanding of Japanese traditions. Elsewhere in the episode, McDonald tried origami and sumo wrestling, and showcased her singing skills at a local karaoke bar, where participants performed 'I Will Survive'.
'Jane McDonald: Lost in Japan' is available to watch on Channel 5.
