Lulu spoke with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty on Friday’s BBC Breakfast.

BBC Breakfast viewers were left distracted by singer Lulu on Thursday as she made an appearance to chat about her new book. Lulu admitted she was a private person usually, but in her book, she spoke about things she had never discussed before.

However, just minutes into the interview with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty, fans took to social media to share their thoughts. And while some were confused by the singer’s accent, others commented on how good she looked for her age.

“What’s going on with Lulu’s accent? #bbcbreakfast,” one fan asked while another echoed: “Is that Lulu’s real accent?”

Someone else said, “How is Lulu only 76? She’s been around forever!” A fourth commented: “Oh, is Lulu 76? #bbcbreakfast.”

“Lulu looks like Sharon Osborne #BBCBreakfast,” one viewer commented while another praised: “Lulu still belting out tunes and sounding like Elton John, it’s no wonder she’s written a book.”

During the chat, Lulu made a sad admission about her career and admitted she didn’t think she would be here today. As Charlie pointed out, Lulu had met “some amazing people” in her career, the singer replied: “That is why I have finally written the book.”

She continued: “The book is full of things that I’ve never talked about before. I am a pretty private person. I can be chatty, I can be I can engage, but there are certain things that I’ve kept to myself.

“In my mother’s era, my era, you didn’t talk about things the way they do today, the trials and the difficult times in your life. So I’m talking about everything.

“You’re talking about mental health,” Naga chipped in as Lulu explained: “That’s the thing that’s become very clear, and I started my own mental health trust because of it, because of the book.

“I realised myself, I’ve had so many challenges that I’ve never discussed, that I’ve dealt with, that I’ve learned about, and my family and people close to me. I mean, who doesn’t?

“And today, what’s really healthy… some people overshare, but if you can relate to something that’s happened to you and you found a way to get through a difficult time. And I also think that today, it’s so crazy to me that so many kids want to be famous, and I think you have no idea what that entails, you know, and it’s quite hard, and a lot of my peers couldn’t handle it because it was difficult, and they became addicts.”

She added: “Drugs were involved, or they just backed off because they couldn’t deal with it.”

Charlie went on to ask what was different about Lulu and how she handled difficult times in her career.

She said: “I don’t think I’m different at all. I think I have had help, and I think I now, I’m very positive, I’m very curious. I’ve read every self-help book. I have a very strong spiritual path. I have a guru. I’ve had a spiritual master for 40-odd years, so I’ve done a lot of things to help myself, and because I’ve lasted this long, who knew I would be here? I mean, 76. Well, I thought I might be gone.”
