BBC viewers were totally engrossed by Lulu as she discussed her ‘intimate’ project that sent her on a path to therapy.<\/p>\n
The iconic Scottish songstress graced The One Show on Friday (May 6) to chat about her forthcoming tour and memoir “If Only You Knew”.<\/p>\n
Her revealing autobiography takes the reader through her life’s journey, with Lulu, born Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie and also known as Lulu Kennedy-Cairns, expressing the relief of sharing her story she said it has felt like \u2018being let out of jail\u2019.<\/p>\n
Alex Jones and Roman Kemp listened intently as the singer described the challenge of writing her book, which involved confronting assumptions made about her, reports Bristol Live.<\/p>\n
The famed artist confessed: “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.”<\/p>\n
She elaborated further, stating: “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.”<\/p>\n
In a touching revelation, Lulu disclosed: “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.”<\/p>\n
She remarked: “I have mental health issues, I’ve come through a lot, my family and it’s things that I didn’t want to talk about but I reveal it in the book, which is kind of like being let out of jail.”<\/p>\n
While Lulu candidly shared her challenges, audiences at home couldn’t help but be taken aback by her seemingly eternal youthfulness, swiftly taking to social media to voice their astonishment.<\/p>\n
One viewer expressed on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Lulu looks great for 76 #TheOneShow.” Another viewer was impressed: “#TheOneShow Lulu looks amazing! She looks so young. Love her! .”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a third shared: “Lulu looking good but not my fave singer #TheOneShow.”<\/p>\n
