Sharing a picture of the show's logo on her Instagram page, Jane wrote: "Looking forward to joining the Loose Women next Friday, September 6, for a good gossip about everything I’ve got coming up!!"
Ahead of her show return, Jane has announced she is releasing her own book, Let The Light In: Lessons learned through life, love and laughter.

"I’m so excited to announce that I’ve written a new book," she wrote. "Everyone through life has tragedy but if sharing all the lessons I’ve learnt on my journey can help other people to keep chasing their dreams, conquer their fears and find more joy in life, I’ll be so chuffed."
She added that the book is available to pre-order now and will be released in September.
A synopsis for the book reads: "Jane was planning a golden retirement with her beloved partner Ed [Rothe], when a shocking cancer diagnosis changed everything. Ed was terminally ill. Jane nursed him at home until the end, on her own, with the UK in lockdown. At first she was overwhelmed, but slowly gathered strength from caring for her loved one, and now sees that it was a privilege to be there for him."

It continues: "Let The Light In, a song Jane wrote over twenty years ago during another dark time, points the way to finding a new kind of joy out of sorrow. It's a philosophy Jane has always lived by and, in this deeply personal book exploring the same themes, she reveals the lessons she's learned that have helped her grow, adapt and rise up through adversity.
"She looks back with candour and honesty on her experiences of heartbreak and loss, failure and burn-out. Cherishing the ring of support around her, taking the odd duvet day and keeping a sense of humour throughout, she grew stronger through each challenge, building resilience, trusting her gut, going for her goals."
Jane is also set to embark on her With All My Love tour, where she will be singing some of her best-known hits and new material.
Loose Women airs on weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
