But in real life, Jane has also experienced her own heartache.
Last year she bravely opened up about suffering a secret "missed miscarriage".
The Leanne Battersby actress was told her unborn baby had no heartbeat at her three-month scan.
Jane said during Baby Loss Awareness Week: "The pain of having a ‘missed miscarriage’ will stay with me forever.
“My 3 months scan showed there was no heartbeat yet my body continued to be pregnant for some time. It was devastating.
"The worst thing that I did was not talk about what I was going through and somehow it made the heartache even more painful.
"In time I learnt to talk and express just how broken I felt."
