Series 14, Episode 6- Lulu
Popstar Lulu shot to fame aged 15, in 1965, with the release of her hit single Shout.”I go on that stage; I just love it. I’m blessed to still be able to do it and to still enjoy it. It’s unbelievable.”
Since the ’60s she’s won the Eurovision song contest, topped the charts with Take That, and she’s still touring and releasing new material. “I don’t know what I’m going to find, but I have no high-falutin’ ideas. I’m not waiting to find out I’m really a princess! I know!”
Lulu grew up in Glasgow, the eldest of four. Her questions about her family’s past all start with her mother.”The story of my mother is big secret. Basically she had been given away as a baby.” Lulu never met her mother’s real parents – and isn’t even sure she’s seen a picture of them.”The real essence of this is why did they give my mother away? That’s the real thing. That’s what’s so confusing.”
