She joined husband Coleman, who she married in 2015, in the Far East after he became manager of Hebei China Fortune.
Jackson previously worked at Setanta Sports and has written for a number of sports publications.
She also provided backing vocals for Tony Christie's 2005 number one 'Is This the Way to Amarillo'.
The former presenter also appeared on a number of TV shows, including ITV's 71 Degrees North and Splash!

She graduated from acting school in 2021 and appeared in BBC crime drama Silent Witness.
Speaking about her new career, Charlotte said: “When I did the Keith Lemon film it really gave me a taste for acting. And then during the lockdown I finally did an acting course.
“I studied method acting and really enjoyed it. I worked really hard and got so much out of it. And I’ve now got an agent for my acting stuff.
“It’s something I always wanted to do when I was younger so to now be doing this is amazing. I’m really excited to be doing something new.

“Because I’m a bit older, I was quite nervous about going into acting. I didn’t know if there would be many opportunities for older ladies. But there are. I was quite surprised.
“This could be a mid-life crisis, but it’s something I’ve always wanted to do so I’m going for it.”
Charlotte met former Fulham manager Coleman in 2012 and they were engaged a year later.
In 2014 Charlotte gave birth to their first child Finley, eight, while his sister Indie was born in 2016.
She is also step-mum to four of Coleman's children from a previous marriage - Sonny, 30, Christy, 28, Faraday, 24, and Georgie, 22.
Charlotte is also a golf fanatic and actually met her husband after he won a celebrity golf event in Portugal.
Earlier this month the former presenter found herself in the news after being spooked while out walking her dog.
