Lottie Ryan opens up on awkward moment she stumbled across parents getting jiggy in bedroom

RTE’s Lottie Ryan has spoken about the awkward moment she stumbled across her parents getting jiggy in the bedroom.

The eldest daughter of the late broadcaster Gerry Ryan and his ex wife Morah recalled disturbing her parents while they in the act. Speaking on Jen and Lottie Do Parenting, the podcast she shares with Jennifer Zamparelli, Lottie, 37, said: “I walked into the bedroom in the middle of the night.

“And my dad fell on top of my mum and just froze. I never had the birds and the bees chat. Not at home, not in school. I went to a Catholic secondary school and they did not talk about sex.”

The radio star said things will be different with her son as her husband Fabio will step up when the toddler is older. She added: “I’ve told him he needs to have the chat with Wolf. I don’t know the biology behind it.”

Lottie, described herself on the podcast as “a late bloomer.” But she said although she had no formal sex education, she always felt she could chat to her mother whenever she needed to.

Lottie added: “I had that kind of relationship with my mum where I definitely felt I could ask her anything. I definitely rang her in very awkward situations. I do remember asking her very forward questions later in life.”

The Dubliner also told how she is looking forward to jetting off on a holiday soon with her Fabio and their son, who turns two next month, as it’s been a busy year for her workwise. She added: “I need a break.”
