Corcoran also wrote for The Daily Telegraph, iNews and the Daily Mirror. Whilst appearing on Talk Radio and Jeremy Vine, her most regular appearences are on GB News where she has since gained a controversial reputation.

NHS Comments[edit]
Corcoran was slated after uploading a picture to her twitter account comparing NHS staff eating pizza during the coronavirus lockdown to Prime Minister Boris Johnson and others in 10 Downing Street breaking the law with regards to social gatherings during the pandemic. Corcoran was demanded to issue an apology on multiple occasions but claimed "the NHS is not a religion, it is a public service and a failing one at that"[7]. Jo Maugham, who is a professor at Durham University where Corcoran studies, claimed "she is deliberately spreading a lie that, in this climate, could endanger the lives of entirely innocent NHS staff"[8].
Football Career[edit]
Corcoran formerly played for Leyton Orient W.F.C., which is the female wing of football club Leyton Orient, as a defender both in the adult division and the under 18's division. She also played for the F.A Womens National League. She left after the scandal in which Leyton Orient cut ties with their already established female wing [9].
