TV3 have been inundated with calls and feedback on this week’s Midday show, which features 4 female guests; journalist and former Miss Ireland, Amanda Brunker; journalist Fiona Looney; Mary O'Rourke TD and top model agent, Jules Fallon. We have had great positive feedback; people generally loving the topics and saying the panel, in particular Mary O’Rourke, are super!
Today was an especially exciting show! All of the Midday girls brought in beautiful pictures of themselves in their younger years, including Jules fallon, owner of 1st Options Model Agency, who revealed stunning photo’s of herself during her modelling career and Mary O’Rourke who revealed an incredible picture of herself, her late husband and her two sons at her first official engagement outside the Dáil.
Yesterday, Wednesday 10th June the ladies on Midday discussed the perennial topic of ‘Weight Issues’:
Fiona Looney confessed to weighing herself 3 times a day, she said that she has an unhealthy attitude towards eating and she knows she’s not technically overweight but is stupidly obsessed with her body. Fiona said: “Asking me not to get on the scales is like asking me not to breathe”. “I always go to bed hungry.”
Jules Fallon admits that she would be a perfect ad for a fat girl who’s happy. When she was younger she was a size 6-8 model but said she was like an insect and hated being skinny. She says girls that are starving themselves in the Agency she would kick out.
Amanda Brunker admits that she lost weight for her career. Amanda said: “It’s all about selling.” ”I’m marketing myself as a brand.”
For more hot topics and lively chat, tune in to Midday tomorrow at 11:50am on TV3
