Despite having a successful TV career, the 59-year-old admitted music is what made her.
"For those people who don't know what got you spotted in the first place?" James asked.
"It was working on a cruise ship," Jane simply replied as she recalled how she landed the job.
"My friend came and she said, 'You should come on board'. I was doing the club circuit for so long and you know, it's like everything else and I just thought, 'I want to do something different'.
"And then my mate, Vicky came and said, 'I'm doing a cruise, why don't you come on that?'
"And I went straight away for three weeks and then I got back and it just so happened that the BBC were on at the same time as I was doing my show."
"But it all could have gone so horribly wrong," she admitted.
James was quick to point out that it didn't go wrong because she has had a successful career travelling the world.
James Martin's Saturday Kitchen airs on Saturday at 9.25am on ITV.
