by Jane Clinton transcription by Sharon My Lady in Red has made me so Proud Daughter of singer Chris de Burgh takes centre stage as she wins beauty contest No one can be in any doubt about the way diminutive singer Chris de Burgh feels about his very own lady in red. She is his daugher Roseanna Davidson who has just been crowned Miss Ireland 2003. She beat stiff competition for the the title but, in the end, Irish eyes smiled on her with her lustrous blonde hair and porcelain skin. Roseanna, who is in her second year at University College Dublin studying sociology and history of art, will now be celebrating with her father, mum Diane and her siblings Hubie and Michael at their stunning 12th century home Bargy Castle in co Wexford, Ireland. However despite her undouted beauty, the 19year old who admires the looks of Cameron Diaz and was odds on at 8/13 to win the title, admitted she does have her imperfections. Roseanna, who had been voted Miss Dun Laoghaire explained "for years, I have foolishly been squeezing my feet into shoes that have been too small and the result is that I now have toes that are not the prettist. She also believes her best feature are her hands but the judges were not looking at her hands or her feet when the chose her to be a representive for Ireland in the ceremony at the City West Hotel, Dublin on Friday. The 5ft 9in stunner will take on where her predecessor Lynda Duffy left off, but she has said that she will resist the traditional lure of the catwalk when her time as Miss Ireland is over and will not be going into modelling full-time. Instead, she is setting her sights on the cut and thrust of a career in advertising. She will also have her famous father, who was a firm favourite id the late Diana, Princess of Wales and of politicians Helmut Kohl and Boris Yeltsin, at her side every step of the way to cope with the fame and attention her win will now bring her. According the young Roseanna, her 54 year old dad- whi in 1986 had a No 1 hit with Lady in Red in the UK, as well at 24 other countries- has been dispensing several words of wisdom "he helped me to overcome stage fright" she said. De Burgh, who worth abd estimated 29 million, has played around 3,000 gigs in his 28 year career. He is still muchin demand and continues to perform all over the world. There are 2 photos of Roseanna with a proud looking Chris and who can blame him, I think she is very beautiful young lady and she has a look of Diane about her (you should have heard the comment my hubby made i showed the photo). And yes she was wearing a red dress! |
