Una Foden has admitted it will be “full on” juggling being a new mum and a coach on the Voice of Ireland.
The Saturdays star is set to give birth to her first child next month – and will be back a month later for the Voice live shows.
And Una admits she wouldn’t be able to have signed up to the RTE series without the help of her “Irish mammy”.

She said: “It will be full-on, but I will have family support. I wouldn’t be able to do it without my Irish mammy.”
But Una insists despite her upcoming arrival, she is fully concentrated on becoming the show’s winning judge – and not another plump TV role.
She added: “You never know who’s going to see you on TV and the doors it can open. But I am going into this hoping to find the winner of The Voice Of Ireland.”
And Una told the Sun that it was a great time in her life to be asked to come on board.

She added: “I love to come home and it’s great if I can double it up with work. They had asked me before, but I couldn’t do it.
“Now I feel I’m in a good position to pass my experience on to other people, so I was delighted when they asked me again.”
