She also made an appearance in the genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?, learning that her grandmother was an illegitimate child and that a deceased distant relative was accused of murdering her husband, but later found not guilty - over 160 years ago. She then went on to feature on Celebrity Showhouse broadcast on 29 December 2008.

Career

Flood worked as a continuity officer with national broadcaster RTÉ from 1997–2000, and was a presenter of Irish fashion television show Off the Rails for a number of years before receiving the axe in 2008.[1][2]

Flood moved on to Marry Me, of which there were eight editions,[3] and has presented two editions of The Podge and Rodge Show,[4][5] For her research in the RTÉ series Who Do You Think You Are? she travelled through 19th-century Dublin, "taking in red light districts, millionaire solicitors, pawnbrokers, contested wills, illegitimate children and murder." She met historian David Nolan, who has written a history of Corballis House, where her granny was sent to stay and subsequently discovered she was born out of wedlock.[6] She appeared on the front cover of the RTÉ Guide to promote the show.[7] An appearance on Anonymous as "Doreen Prendergast".[8]

Flood has since found herself exposed and vulnerable at RTÉ.[9]

Personal life

In 2008, Flood announced the recent end of her three-year relationship with Michael Sharp, the manager of Denis Desmond's Spirit nightclub in Dublin.[10] She then began a new one with restaurateur, Ronan Ryan.

Flood and Ryan appeared in the news in 2019 following a public battle with their mortgage provider over a house in which the couple had been living in Clontarf, Dublin. It was reported that the couple had been living in the property valued at €900,000 yet had not made a mortgage payment in over 9 years. Nevertheless the couple refused to vacate the property.
