Why journalist, author, and TV presenter Jane Moore, best known for her work with “The Sun” and as a panellist on Loose Women, should be crowned Queen of the Jungle 2025 as 2Shades backs her
Here, Steven Smith gives his views
When Jane Moore enters a room, you know it. Not because she is an exhibitionist or seeks attention, but because she exudes a natural energy that makes people take notice and want to know who she is (if they haven’t already met her). For those who do know Jane, they are always delighted to see her. Her quick wit and dry sense of humour are legendary.
I recall my first meeting with her many years ago. She had just come from interviewing the queer comedian and Madonna’s former best friend, Sandra Bernhard. The pair had clearly not hit it off
Bernhard accused Jane of having an attitude, Jane suggested that Sandra take a look in the mirror if she wanted to see attitude and then cut the interview short.
Jane was funny, attractive, and kind, as I had just arrived back in London. We shared a mutual friend in the late, great journalist Lester Middlehurst. Jane and Lester were like something from Will and Grace; an evening with the pair could leave you in stitches, especially on game night when the board games came out, and so did their competitive streaks. Lester would joke that even if a light was red and Jane decided it was green, then green it would be—a case of the kettle calling the pot black.
Jane is a huge supporter of the LGBTQ community and one of the most loyal people you could meet. Jane does speak her mind. At our last meeting, which was at the launch of Anthea Turner and Wendy Turner’s book, I arrived dressed in the latest trend—shorts and smart shoes, inspired by Paul Mescal.( I know who am I kidding ) In an almost Devil Wears Prada moment, Jane looked me up and down and then glanced back at my shoes. “What are you wearing?” she asked. “It’s the fashion!” I replied. The next day, I sent her a spread from Vogue featuring men’s shorts and shoes. It clearly amused her, as she replied, “Who knew?”
