When Jane met supermodel Elle 04.03.08

Much to the excitement of the other McCauley children - Kate, Sarah, James and Emma - Mary Anne invited the whole McCauley clan to come and visit the chocolate factory at Easter. Mmmmm...etalocohc! For more photos backstage at the Late, Late Show click here .
