She appeared on "Lily Savage's Blankety Blank" in 2001. In February 2004, she won the third series of the British reality TV show "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!". That July, she and McFadden appeared as judges on the RTÉ talent show "You're a Star", which was used to select the Republic of Ireland's Eurovision Song Contest entry.
