Lottie Ryan opens up about busy start to 2026 – VIP Magazine

Lottie Ryan has shared that 2026 is already off to a busy start, as she balances work, family life and everything in between.

Taking to Instagram, the presenter explained how there’s been lots of “good news” within her family, including her sister Bonnie announcing that she’s expecting her first child.

“I can’t wait to just chat all about it,” she squealed with excitement.

She also couldn’t help but praise her brother Rex, who is currently starring in his own one-man show called The Monk, about the life and times of Gerry “The Monk” Hutch, at the Glass Mask Theatre, which will soon be moving to the Ambassador Theatre.

“You have to go see it. I’m very proud of him,” she added.

Lottie then shared how there’s plenty to look forward to in the coming weeks, including the return of her podcast No One Else Will Listen, co-hosted with Bonnie.

“Obviously I will ask Bonnie to talk about her pregnancy,” she said, before noting how she had no idea her sister was expecting until Bonnie shared the news with her.

“We all only found out at Christmas, so she’s a sneaky one, but it couldn’t have been a more joyous Christmas surprise to have gotten.”

Lottie also mentioned that even though she’s only been back at work for a week, she’s already feeling the pressures and stresses of the new year.

“I feel like Christmas was ten years ago now. At the time, I felt like I had a really nice break.

“But I’m automatically feeling like I need to plan my next holiday,” she laughed.

With the holidays behind her, it’s fair to say Lottie is feeling the full force of a busy January.
