Jennifer Zamparelli has joked that she’d be up for a foursome with podcast co-host Lottie Ryan and their respective husbands.
Her comment comes after singer Una Healy put to bed rumours that she was in a “throuple” with David Haye and model Sian Osbourne.
When quizzed about a possible “frouple” Jen cheekily told the Sunday Mirror: “I’m up for it.”

She and her podcast co-host Lottie Ryan have been getting into hot water at home for oversharing intimate details about their sex lives.
The pair set the tone in the first episode of Jen and Lottie Do.. Parenting as they joked about swapping husbands.
RTE star Jen, 43, told us: “In upcoming episodes we will talk more openly about our relationships with our partners.
“There’s a lot on sexy time. They [our husbands] are both scared of us talking about them now.
“We’ve talked about Lottie and latex gloves and we had to tell the lads that we may have revealed some more intimate stuff.”
The 2FM host added: “Being on air and being on radio you’re more restricted.
“So this was very freeing and liberating to be able to do the podcast. We had verbal diarrhoea.”
Jen married Italian stuntman Lauterio in 2014 and the couple are parents to eight-year-old Florence and Enzo, four.
Lottie wed Fabio Aprile in 2017 in Macchia, Italy in 2017 and the childhood sweethearts welcomed their son Wolf in June 2021.
Talking about the reality of having sex after giving birth was an intimate topic that irked the women’s other halves, Jen revealed.
She said: “There’s no judgement and we just kind of went for it.
“We wanted to be honest and talk about our experience, the good, the bad, the ugly, the warts and all.
“And talk about those things that we were talking about, you know, in the studio when the doors were closed, those conversations.”
Feeling ‘touched out’ was one such intimate topic.
Jen explained: “We both experienced that when we became new mums.
“Feeding a baby and sleeping with a baby and the newborn stage, and then just getting to a period in the evening, where you are just feeling touched out, where you actually don’t want to be touched by anybody.
“I just wanted to sit and have a cup of tea and watch something or just have a moment to myself.
“It’s okay to say that because there’s so much contact with your baby, morning, noon and night for all those precious moments.
“But then the last thing on your mind is getting touchy-feely with your partner. So that takes time, well it did for me.”
Jen, from Baldoyle in North Dublin, reckons talking openly with your partner is key to navigating those times.
The former Republic of Telly star explained: “Communication is key in those situations, communicate how you’re feeling, you know, it’s not about them. It’s not about you. It’s just timing.
“It’s just a time in this whole process of having the baby and it’s okay to admit that.”
After an emergency C-Section on her first-born and an elective on her second, Jen said she felt ‘robbed’ that she could not have a natural birth.
She said: “Everybody thinks their way is the best way when you become mothers.
“You get so much unsolicited, unwarranted and unwanted advice; it’s hard to navigate that as well.
“I did feel a little bit robbed but I had an emergency section for the first one. Then I was advised to go for a section on the second one.
“Then you kind of don’t know any better but the recovery is tricky, especially when you’re a geriatric mom like myself.”
Dancing with the Stars presenter Jen doesn’t confine herself to spilling the beans on her own podcast.
She recently admitted to Darren Kennedy on his podcast The Number that she’d had relationship doubts on her wedding day.
She told him: “‘There was doubts. If people are one hundred per cent sure on their wedding day – fair play to you.
“We never talked about marriage. He sprang it on me when we were in Sardinia, it was the weirdest thing. The first thing I said to him was, ‘are you sure?’.
“It’s funny, like we were together, we broke up, we did the long-distance relationship for so long, but we’ve made it through 15 years and I love him more than I ever did.”
The Bridget and Eamon series creator found motherhood was by far her most scary venture.
She told us: “I’ve never known fear like it, having a child. I remember checking them every five minutes and becoming obsessed with temperature.
“Are they sleeping? There’s a fear you might take your eye off the ball and something might happen. It’s only when they get a bit sturdier and older you go back and say, ‘Oh my God’.”
The busy broadcaster admitted she doesn’t get as much help as she’d like from family when it comes to raising her kids.
But she conceded: “I have a bit of help. I have a brother in Clare and his wife and their kids and they’re always there but they’re all the way in Clare.
“My mum has just been at the All Ireland drama. It’s like her Electric Picnic.
“She’s had six of us so she’s like ‘mind your own’.”
