Lisa admitted that she lost herself when she was in long relationship – but for the first time in a while, she will be focusing on herself.
“I suppose you could say that I have found myself. I suppose that will happen when you are on your own, and it is only you. It’s your time,” she told the Irish Independent.
“Because being in relationships for so long – and really long ones – I tend to put them [the partner] first.
“I kind of lose myself in the relationship a little bit because I do put them first.
“So having me-time for the first time in a while has been fantastic.”

Lisa also opened up on people’s misconceptions of her and admitted it’s hurtful people base their opinion of her on her appearance.
“I think people naturally base their opinion on appearances, and attain an idea of who they imagine the person is, rather than who they actually are.
“It is probably a human trait, but can be very hurtful when they say hurtful things about you, and they don’t actually know who you are.
“They are just basing it on what they see and read in the newspapers,” she added.
