The radio star has three kids with her husband Joey: Oisin, ten, Hannah, eight and Sadie, four.
The happy couple recently purchased a mobile home for their family, in the same caravan park her husband spent his summers growing up.
Their new mobile home is located in Clogga Caravan park in Arklow, Co
She spoke to RSVP about her decision behind purchasing the plot, explaining: "I work full-time and there is something so unbelievable about throwing the kids in the car on a Friday afternoon and driving 50 minutes down the road.

"Last year, we had a moment when the kids arrived, it was the first weekend in May and we pulled into our mobile. My little girl, who was seven at the time and had made some friends very briefly the summer before, ran down and they all hugged on the deck.
"They were gone, off they went and played. It's the epitome of a safe childhood because they can't go anywhere and everybody on the site looks out for them."
And although the benefits of owning a holiday home are plentiful, Suzanne's experience in purchasing the plot differed greatly from her expectations.
She said: "I didn't realise how hard it is to buy a holiday home in a mobile home park. I thought you just rang and went, 'Hi, can I have a mobile?' But no, that's not how it works'.

She admitted: "I'm 44 and I've never been on a train on my own ever. Last time I got a train was like 15 years ago and that was to Kilkenny.
"But like Niamh clearly looked after that because there's no way I could do that.
"I'm going to Cork today on the train and was going by myself... I don't even know what you do.
"So now I'm waiting for somebody because they're coming with me on the train. Now, they were going anyway but they were like, 'I'll jump on your train'.
