Anna Daly has opened up about launching her own mum-and-child clothing brand, Little Bliss.
Last week, the TV presenter debuted her 12-piece collection, which she created from scratch with leading designers in the retail and fashion business.
Speaking to the Irish Daily Mirror, the mother-of-three admitted the coronavirus pandemic pushed her to pursue her passion project.
She said: “I was going to say every girl needs a side hustle, but actually every girl and guy needs a side hustle.”

“And I think we have probably discovered that in 2020 when we realised the safest job in the world was stocking shelves in Tesco so I think it has changed everything for us in terms of what we view a ‘safe job’ is these days.”
“It’s been a really interesting process for me. And I’ve loved it. I started in marketing.”
Before Anna embarked on her career as a TV presenter, she worked as the Marketing Manager at TV3 (now Virgin Media Television).

She explained: “I always say to people I never wanted to be on the telly, I kind of call myself an accidental TV presenter because I happened to be working in the marketing department of a TV company and that’s how it came about.”
“And yes I loved the idea of it when it came about but I never went looking for it. It was never on my radar as a career option when I was younger.”
“That’s why I always say to people go and study marketing, study whatever it is, get the degree and then down the line do a complete pivot and change your career.”
