Lucy Kennedy attends sex party and spills the beans on what went on - 'I didn't know where to look'

Lucy Kennedy has lifted the lid on a sex party she attended as part of a new show for Virgin Media, RSVP reports.

Lucy is switching up or live-in format for a look inside some of Ireland's most diverse and - let's face it - risque subculturess.

Audiences are given unprecedent access, as Lucy immerses herself into lifestyles of four fascinating factions of Irish society, exploring everything from Sex in the Suburbs to Life Online - and she got a first hand account as she donned a mask and met a real life dominatrix.

Lucy joked: "It was always going to happen, you know I am a saucy little minx [laughs]."

She told RSVP Live: "Sex parties exist in all seasons and in every county in Ireland. It is a real insight into life in Ireland.

"As I always do, I am asking the embarrassing questions while slightly cringing. I learned to be open, or at least more open, about sex.

"If we don't educate young people and if we don’t open up the conversation, things can go wrong for them. I had an interesting interview with a sexologist and she explained everything, which made it less embarrassing. That embarrassment is built in us as Irish people."

Lucy admitted she was "mortified" while filming, but she wants to eliminate any judgement or negative connotations around the subject.

She said: "I wore a mask and I didn’t know where to look. I was mortified and I spent a lot of time looking at my nails.

"I spent a lot of time with a dominatrix and I got to see what she does. There were a lot of water cooler moments.

"But it is not a sleazy documentary, it is about real life and real people in Ireland in 2022. Nobody should judge anyone I spent time with them because they are not hurting or harming anyone, they are just doing their own thing."

The new series will air as part of Virgin Media's new season.

Lucy said: "I have been working on it since March. It is a four part documentary series, four one hour shows on subjects I feel are possibly more prevalent than ever.

"The first episode is about sex in Ireland and I investigate how we have evolved since Gay Byrne first talked about sex on The Late Late Show."

Away from TV, life is busy at home for her and her three kids, especially with school back after the summer break.

She said: "Jess started school yesterday. I took the morning off Classic Hits to cry and drink vodka on my own. It was so weird to have my baby starting school, all my children are now in school.

"Jack started in first year and Holly is in fifth class."

Lucy feels "50/50" about her youngest child starting primary school because there is always a sense of worry and she also carries some nerves about the big change for young Jess.

She explained: "50 percent of me is sad that my baby is of school age and the other 50 percent of me loves that I will have more time to myself. I feel very mixed. Deep down, I am worried that she won’t like it.

"Holly goes to that school as well and I know all the teachers but there is always that fear. I am nervous for her.
