Gráinne Seoige says her 'world changed overnight' after becoming a mum at age 20

Gráinne Seoige has said her world changed overnight after becoming a mum at the age of 20.

The broadcaster and businesswoman welcomed her son Conall before her successful career took off on screen in Ireland.

However, the 49-year-old said her focus immediately changed after giving birth, and she experienced love like no other.

"I don't have anything to compare it to. Because that's how I always was, that was my normality," Gráinne said in her new documentary, Meanapás: Meon Nua.

"Your world changes overnight, but that happens to you when you become a mother, whether you're 20, 30 or 40.

"Your focus is on this little human being that you are completely responsible for and you are in love with," reports RSVP Live.

Becoming a mother is the best thing that ever happened to Gráinne.

She said: "Because it's a love like no other. It takes over your life, and it makes your priorities laser sharp. It just happened to me, younger than most of my friends.

"I actually think it was the best thing that ever happened to me because it gave me a head start."

Gráinne got great support from her family and friends, and that allowed her to finish her degree in Galway before landing high profile presenting roles on TG4, TV3 , Sky News Ireland and RTÉ over the years.

She said: "The support enabled me to not only have my lovely little boy but also to be able to go for it in terms of finishing my education and beginning my career."

Meanapás: Meon Nua is available to watch on the TG4 Player.
