‘My mum is my hero’: Laura McGoldrick opens up about life and family

The co-host of The Hits Breakfast show says her mum has taught her to always put family first.

My typical week…

I am very lucky to work on The Hits Breakfast show with my two besties, Toni Street and Sam Wallace. After an early start I find exercise is important – I love F45 and go five or six times a week. During the day, between TV work and MC gigs, I try to spend as much time as I can with my baby girl Harley, who has just turned two. She’s my other bestie! In the evening, my hubby and I love to watch Netflix and chill.

I have my daughter to thank for this – Moana.

The Queen. Could you imagine the stories?

Top of my bucket list is…
