Una was asked to interview Tadgh and gave him some quick fire round questions, however one answer in particular fans of the family are loving. 

When asked "what would you like to be when you grow up" which Tadgh replied: "I would like to be a hurler and a soccer player. I mean hurling is a fun sport and I just like soccer so I just like the both of them because I play them a lot. For hurling I would play for Tipperary and for soccer I would play for Manchester United or Ireland."

Una recently took her latest adventure by the horns and made it to the final three in Netflix’s Celebrity Bear Hunt. 

Holly Willoughby hosts this action-packed competition show that sees a group of unlikely celebrities dropped into the Central American jungle as prey for one of the world's most fearsome predators – Bear Grylls.

Una made it to the very end and was the last of the three celebrities standing to see who would win the crown and become the champion which was to be decided by Bear himself. 

When addressing Una in the final episode Bear said: “I admire your spirit so much. Your attitude is incredible. What a mum you are. Your eyes are on fire, you are shining bright.”

Una’s motherly instincts did not go away as she entered camp as she was seen to be particularly supportive to her campmates and jokingly called herself “jungle mammy.”

Touching on motherhood, Una told OK Magazine: "The kids are growing up so fast, the adventure of being a mum is just amazing. I would say I am a fun mum, a very loving mum and an always there for you mum."
