Northern Ireland TikTok star Mammy Banter surprises social media fans with her first book

Mammy Banter has shocked fans and revealed a secret she's been keeping all year – she is bringing out her very own book.

The TikTok star whose real name is Serena Terry took to social media on Wednesday, September 22 - surprising fans with the unexpected news.

The Derry mum told fans how she was presented with the "incredible opportunity" to sign a book deal with Harper Collins earlier this year.

Serena said: "And if my eyes look a bit puffy it's because I'm totes emosh and I'm still pinching myself."

Her video compilation then took followers through a timeline of the past few months – from when she signed her book deal in June, to getting up at 6am to write the book in July, to when she finished the book in August.

Speaking directly to her fans, @mammybanter said: "This is all because of your support and how much youse have enjoyed the craic."

While the Northern Ireland mum was clearly overjoyed about her next chapter, she struggled to keep back the tears in the video published to her social media pages.

Laughing and crying at the same time, Serena said: "Youse are going to love it.

"Mammy Banter has now got context, she's got background, she's got a different layer to her life.

"And there's hilarity and there's emotions, all kinds of emotions.

"I'm so proud, I'm so proud. And I hope youse love it."
