The singer, who grew up in Glasgow's Dennistoun, told the hosts the reason why she decided to extend her final 'Champagne for Lulu' tour.
Although Lulu said she's not going to stop singing or performing, she explained that she is planning to take a step back from touring.
And part of it was because she is now 75 years old.
Lulu explained: "It's not the last time ever I'm going to sing, it's not the last time ever I'm going to perform.

Lulu carried on: "I did a final tour just a few months ago and because it sold out and people couldn't get in, the promoters enticed me - which wasn't hard to do - to do a B-part/Part 2.
"So November I start that".

Kate then chipped in: "But you're from Scotland?"
Laughing, Lulu said: "Exactly - somebody said that to me!
LULU'S HEARING LOSS
LULU revealed that she is living with moderate hearing loss – after a hearing check at Specsavers revealed the impact that 60 years in the music industryhas had on her hearing.
The Scottish singing sensation is on her seventh decade of performing her debut single ‘Shout’.
And the news that her career has damaged her hearing comes just weeks after the wowed crowds at Glastonbury.
Lulu said: "After being on stage nearly all of my life, I have always noticed ringing and muffled sounds, but never really thought much of it.
"Music has always been a cornerstone of everything I do, so it’s incredibly important that I can still enjoy it.
"Wearing hearing aids will mean I can continue to hear every
note.
"But it’s more than just this – connecting with people is a huge part of my life and I want to be able to join the conversation and not be left out of it.
"The good news is it’s not too late for me to preserve the rest of my hearing. Using hearing protection is such a simple and easy thing to do when around live music and I urge others to wear it.
"Music is still my life, and I plan to carry on enjoying it for many years to come."
Romaan Babar, audiologist at Specsavers, said: "What might start as a minor annoyance after a gig can lead to long-term consequences.
"It’s never too late to start protecting your ears. Wearing ear plugs, not standing too close to speakers, and taking breaks from loud environments can all help preserve your hearing."
"But if it was England and Scotland then we would be shouting for Scotland - not shouting for England.
"But yes, I'm optimistic".
Despite sharing her support for both sides, many fans were unhappy that she was "optimistic" about England's chances whilst being Scottish herself.
A user commented: "Lulu is another England Boot licker."
Someone else wrote: "Lulu is supporting England... Surprise, surprise".
