When speaking to AussieTheatre about the honour Lucy said:
“I’m so excited! My husband Chris is a HUGE Queensland supporter so the state of origin is a massive event in our household. We’re all very excited to be here and watch it live.”
Her husband, Chris Horsey added “my team has already won the national anthem. (?)”.
This is not the first time Lucy has stepped up to the mic at the State of Origin, having also performed the national anthem in the 2012 series.
