Lulu opened up about her ‘intimate’ project
BBC viewers were left distracted by Lulu’s appearance as she opened up about her ‘intimate’ project that resulted in her going to therapy.
The Scottish singer, 76, appeared on Friday’s (May 6) episode of The One Show to promote her upcoming tour and new memoir.
Her new memoir, If Only You Knew, delves into her past and the singer, born Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie also known as Lulu Kennedy-Cairns, said it has felt like ‘being let out of jail’.
Speaking to hosts Alex Jones and Roman Kemp, she admitted that completing the book was ‘difficult’ because she has to open up about things she felt ‘assumed’ about.

The star admitted: “People think they know Lulu but no one knows you. I’ve always been very careful, very private and chatty but I keep a lot of things to myself. Now I’m talking about everything and this is because the landscape has changed.”
She continued: “When I was younger everything was a secret and there was a lot of shame because you didn’t talk about things but today people talk about things and I think it’s healthy. I’ve had an amazing life but there are certain things in my life that I’ve never discussed.”
In a candid moment, Lulu admitted: “I had to go to therapy because it was difficult not to unravel the things that I’ve been told not to say and the things I was assumed of. Once you’ve spoken about the things you’re assumed of.”

As the singer opened up, viewers watching at home were left distracted at her youthful appearance and wasted no time sharing their reaction online.
