Michelle Doherty has almost come to the end of her trip home to Donegal for Christmas the day we talk. The former Xposé host and radio DJ, who still models, is in her sister’s house. On the bed beside her is a pile of clothes that have been loaned for the pictures being taken for this piece.
It’s been a “weird” Christmas, she admits. It is the first for her family since her beloved father Sean died of cancer in August last year. She stayed at home in Bondi, Sydney, to be with her 11-year-old son Max until Christmas night, before heading for Ireland and arriving in Malin the next day.
