RTE's Lottie Ryan pays tribute to Joe Duffy as she eyes her own talk radio show
RTE star Lottie Ryan has said she would love to land her own talk radio show like her dad – as she pays tribute to family friend Joe Duffy. The Liveline host is set to retire from RTE on Friday June 27 after 37 years working at the national broadcaster. Paying tribute to Joe, Lottie said: 'We've known Joe and June and their family for a long, long time. They're good family friends, and they are genuinely the nicest people you will ever come across. Joe is what you hear. He is genuinely that person that just wants to talk to and help everyone.' Her sister Bonnie said: 'And I think he's probably earned at this point to retire. The sad thing is, if we can't talk to Joe, who are we going to talk to?" 'Talk to Lottie,' Bonnie said jokingly. When asked if Lottie would love to throw her name in the hat to take over Liveline, she said: 'That's not my side of the building. Definitely not. That's not my side of the building. I just want to make good radio and obviously I see myself being a talk broadcaster." Bonnie added: 'She'd smash it.' Lottie added: 'Liveline…Ryan Line.. it has a little ring to it.' Lottie said she reckons it was a very difficult decision for Joe to announce his retirement. 'I'd imagine that was very because it's very difficult for him. I mean, you saw the video, it's heartbreaking.' But despite being close pals with the Duffy family, she said she wasn't given a heads up that his retirement announcement was imminent. 'No, so I think it was just between him and his family,' she added. RTE have said they will reveal Liveline's next host in August. But we revealed in the Sunday Mirror that Kathryn Thomas is backing Daithi O Se for the gig. She told us: 'I think Daithi would be fit for the job. It's about connecting with the audience. You have to be one with the people, which Joe always was, which Daithi is and I always try to be. We're all in it together.' 'No one will ever fill Joe Duffy's shoes. Joe was one of a kind. And when I say one of a kind, he's one of the kindest people I know. 'One of the first cards that I got when I got to my desk at Q102, was from Joe Duffy, and then texts a couple weeks later, saying 'You're sounding really great'.' 'He will be sadly missed and whoever has the opportunity to go in there and continue the work and put their own stamp on it is extremely important.'

Giovanna said: "You moved back for a bit to be there for the little ones." Lottie is then heard telling the podcast host: "Because they were two." She went on to mention that when her mother died her youngest siblings Doris and Ernie were the same age as her own son Lucky, two, is now. Lottie said: "That's what hurts the most when I speak about it it's because Lucky's two now." Teary-eyed, she added: "Losing a mum at that age is just so so sad and traumatising for them, y'know." Later in the teaser clip, Lottie is heard discussing having become a parent at a similar time to some of her siblings. The makeup artist shares her son Lucky and four-month-old daughter Flossie with her fiancé Lewis Burton, 33.

Sharing her thoughts with us, she said: "I feel like being with my family is just the best therapy for me." Lottie added in the interview, published earlier this week: "That's all I've ever wanted and now that I've finally got that, it brings me so much comfort and it makes me feel closer to the people I've lost.

While launching her latest beauty venture, Adored by... Lottie Tomlinson, 26, shared a glimpse into how the former Love Island star is already being welcomed into the Tomlinson family fold and opened up about her brother Louis Tomlinson's blossoming romance. Zara, who rose to fame on reality TV before building a strong presence as a presenter and influencer, has recently gone public with her relationship with Louis Tomlinson, 33, the former One Direction singer. Rumours started about a potential romance between the pair in March, when eagle eyed fans noted that they followed each other on social media and Louis' sisters Lottie, Daisy and Phoebe all followed the documentary maker and Strictly star on Instagram. She also follows them all back. The pair have been quietly dating for a few months, and according to Lottie, they're 'really happy' together. Now, it is reported that Zara has flown off for a romantic getaway with her new beau. Insiders revealed that One Direction star Louis splashed out thousands of pounds to fly Zara 5,000 miles to join him while he's working on his upcoming album. Speaking at the launch event for her beauty line, Lottie confirmed exclusively to us, that she's met Zara and has only good things to say about her. 'Yeah, she is amazing and they are really happy. I'm really happy for him,' she said, clearly pleased to see her brother in a good place romantically. The couple's new status hasn't stopped them from being roped into family life already. With Lottie being a mum to two-year-old son Lucky and five month old baby girl Flossie, she joked that Louis and Zara might soon find themselves on babysitting duty. 'Hopefully, yeah,' she laughed when asked if the pair would be helping out. Lottie has always been close to Louis, especially following the loss of their mother and younger sister in recent years. She's spoken publicly about the importance of family and support, and it seems that Zara is fitting in well with the Tomlinson clan. Lottie, who recently became a mum also opened up on balancing working and motherhood. After welcoming her baby girl in January, Lottie admits some weeks can leave her 'exhausted'. 'I think it's like an up and down thing for me anyway. There'll be certain weeks where I feel like I'm juggling really well and I'm like, right, I'm doing it. I'm smashing it then there'll be certain weeks where I just have not got the balance right and I'm exhausted.' 'Like this week's work is heavy so I just need to, you know, take a few things back, push to next week and spend more time with the kids. I really just take it week by week, but it is really hard to find a balance, but my kids are my focus and they will always come first.' It hasn't been easy for Lottie after losing her mum, Johannah Deakin at the age of 43 in 2016 after a battle with leukaemia, followed just over two years later by the death of her sister, Felicité, 18 and the mum and influencer has opened up on how she is continuing to deal with the grief. 'I feel like being with my family is just the best therapy for me,' she says. 'That's all I've ever wanted and now that I've finally got that, it brings me so much comfort and it makes me feel closer to the people I've lost. It's been like a healing thing for me.'
