Singer Jane McDonald always looks perfectly put together, and her latest holiday look is certainly no exception.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, the TV star shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of her recent appearance in Gary Barlow's new series titled Gary Barlow's Wine Tour South Africa.

Amongst the images, Jane, 61, included two sunkissed images that showed the pair letting their hair down in the glorious sunshine.

Beaming from ear to ear, the Wakefield-born singer appeared in her element dressed in a fiery, tango-hued swimsuit which she teamed with a matching orange printed kaftan and some white shorts.

Embracing holiday mode, Jane spruced up her radiant ensemble with a pair of retro sunglasses, and a silver pendant. She wore her chocolate tresses in a bouncy blow-dry and highlighted her features with golden highlighter and a sweep of terracotta eyeshadow.

Take That's, Gary, meanwhile, appeared to take a leaf out of Jane's book and donned a canary-yellow Hawaiian shirt emblazoned with red hibiscus flowers.

A second photo showed the musical duo relaxing in a turquoise swimming pool set against a backdrop of lush green vegetation. Jane and Gary clutched glasses of fizz jazzed up with maraschino cherries and smiled broadly while posing for the camera.

"Joined by friends along the way, Gary also heads further North to embark on a safari experience of a lifetime and enjoys the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg, where he discovers a wine revolution taking place!"

Jane's fans and friends were quick to praise the pair in the comments section. "Lovely pics, can't wait!" noted one, while a second wrote: "The duo we never knew we needed," and a third chimed in: "My two favourites together, can't wait."

"I know my best bits, when you get to my age, you know that," she explained. "Right now, I've got a slightly off the shoulder [jumper] but not showing too much, I know I've got good shoulders, so you look at your best bits and celebrate those.

"That's what I do, I've got good legs, little hips, one shoulder, and that's it, so just play to your strengths."
