Posting a video of her dancing the viral routine to CMAT's song Take A Sexy Picture Of Me, the star joked that the lyrics are about to be her new reality as she mouthed along to 'I did the home and the family maker.'

As a member of one of the biggest Music dynasties in Ireland Róisín is also related to Frances Black, an Irish singer and politician. Previously chatting about her 'nepo baby' status to The Irish Independent, the mum-to-be joked; 'I think it's a fair enough term. I find it quite funny.'

Róisín's famous family ties don't stop there, with her brother being Danny of The Coronas. The pair have always been notoriously close, with the siblings having even worked together from time to time. Posting a video of her dancing the viral routine to CMAT's song Take A Sexy Picture Of Me, the star joked that the lyrics are about to be her new reality as she mouthed along to 'I did the home and the family maker.' Pic: GMCD Previously chatting with Dáithí Ó Sé and Sinéad Kennedy on RTE's The Today Show, the singer opened up about spending lockdown in Kerry alongside her brother. 'I was actually down here writing with Danny and we were supposed to be writing songs for the Coronas,' the singer explained they had been working on a song but it wasn't going in the direction they had hoped. 'It was about 1 o'clock in the morning and Danny was like 'Here, have a listen to this other thing.' It's no secret that the star hails from a very famous musical family, with her mother being none other than legendary songstress Mary VIP Ireland 'It was just a loop of four chords, and I was like 'Wow there's something really special about that.'' 'I went up to my bedroom and I just started singing a melody and some lyrics over it. I had the song finished in about 20 minutes,' she added. 'I sang it for him the next day and it was obvious then it that moment that this was definitely not a Coronas song. This was a Róisín O song.' Well, it's safe to say this little one is bound to have a set of pipes on them. Congrats Róisín & Gearóid.
