To say Lucy leads a busy lifestyle is an understatement, Not only is she host of The Six O'Clock Show but she recently gave birth to her third child, Jessica. She says that experience has taught her to embrace her talents as a mum.

"I can't bake and I can't cook but I'm good at Playdough and I'm good at colouring. I love it, I love being a mum."

Oscar Wilde once said, "All women become like their mothers". When we put the old adage to the presenter, she said she didn't doubt it. Not only does she sound like her mother but she's even cooking like her too!

"Food wise, I think I'm making the same things as her. The same way she made spaghetti bolognese, the same way she made roast chicken, so all the kind of mummyisms are coming back"

Lucy told RTÉ LifeStyle that there are key elements to being a working mum especially when you work "pretty much right up to giving birth".

"I think you've got to be organised, you have to be calm and I think you have to have a really good husband."
