“I think in the last few years a lot has probably changed in my live and I kinda went ‘I’d like to be able to not live in fear’ and just give things a go.
“That’s why I did the song at Christmas,” she explained.
“Because before I felt afraid of doing it and I wasn’t comfortable making myself that vulnerable to put myself out there and now I’m saying sure you have to make yourself vulnerable.
Excited to get stuck into her new project, the Galway native revealed she was absolutely thrilled to join the infamous show.
“We did a full read through on Monday and I was so giddy coming in here on Monday morning I felt like a kid.
