Michelle Doherty: I put work on hold to spend the first year with my baby son

TV presenter Michelle Doherty put the red carpet on hold to take time out with her baby son. She tells Esther McCarthy that it’s been challenging but she has no regrets.

IT’S a long way from the glamour of a red carpet premiere to changing nappies and home-made dinners, but Michelle Doherty is embracing the life changes that becoming a new mum have brought.

From Donegal, she built up a successful career as a DJ, model and TV presenter for TV3’s Exposé. But when the opportunity arose to take some time out after Max was born, she didn’t think twice.
