Lisa Cannon has admitted that she hopes to start a family, no matter what age she is.
The former Xpose presenter hopes to follow in her grandmother’s footsteps – who started having children in her late 30s, and went on to be a mother-of-seven.
“Well my grandmother had seven children and she started her family at 36, 37 so there’s hope for me yet,” she said.

The 38-year-old married her husband Richard Keatley in September 2015, and has opened up before about wanting to start a family in the past.
“I don’t know if I could go for seven, but she went on to have seven healthy children, so she’s my benchmark,” she told the TV Now.
“We’ll see how I get on, we’d be blessed with even one.”

The brunette beauty understands that there are some negatives to having children later in life, but spoke about friends and women who gave birth to healthy kids up to their mid-forties.
“I know a lot of my friends who’ve had children slightly later in life and they’ve all gone on to have very healthy children.
“I can only comment for them, because they are my direct friends, and family friends,” she added.

“I think a lot of women live very healthily and go on to have healthy children. Here’s hoping.
“Obviously I understand all the statistics behind it as well – my family are all doctors on my mother’s side – so I’m very aware of what can happen as well.
“But there are also lots of positives and lots of women are having children right up until their mid forties.”

“I’m sure they’ll pick their people soon enough so if I don’t get a phone call I’ll know. But it is lovely to be the favourite to win,” she said.
“At least I could give it a whirl.”
