'I never aspired to be on telly': Presenter Anna Daly

The harder I work the luckier I get — I think that's a good piece of advice about work ethic
'I never aspired to be on telly': Presenter Anna Daly

'Take the opportunities': Anna Daly started her clothing brand,  Little Bliss, last year.

I grew up in Templeogue with my mum, dad, and my brother David and I actually didn't move out until I bought a house with my boyfriend, who is now my husband, Ben. We have three little boys and live in Greystones now. They're four, eight, and nine, so it's noisy. 

My line of work is not what I set out to do. I didn't ever aspire to be on the telly. I wasn't one of those kids who was reading the news for their parents. I was not an obvious TV presenter. I was working in the marketing department of TV3, before it was Virgin Media, because that's what I studied in college. I got promoted to marketing manager and then came the suggestion that I might screen test for Ireland AM. Low and behold, I took a complete career change.
