Presenting... with the Stars

Rosanna eyes up hosting DWTS

FORMER Miss World Rosanna Davison would love to host Dancing with the Stars – despite feeling “physically sick” on the show.

The glamorous daughter of Chris De Burgh said DWTS has helped her grow in confidence again since becoming a mother to three children.

She told us: “I mean, if the opportunit­y came up. I can’t see Doireann and Jennifer wanting to part ways with their job any time soon. The girls are just fantastic at what they do. I really think they drive the show every week.

“They bring in so much heart and personalit­y, but you know if the opportunit­y ever came up.”

Rosanna, 39, said the series has let viewers see “a side to me that my friends and family know”. She added: “It’s the fun side. I love getting into characters and really acting it out. But maybe the public wouldn’t be familiar with it so it has been a great confidence building process actually to get into a character each week and really enjoy the characteri­sations side of dancing. That’s a big thing this season.

“I’m trying to pass on a message that this isn’t sort of a natural environmen­t for me to be in but I’m really pushing out of my comfort zone and trying to do something that scares me a bit. And life is all about taking these risks. Learning about yourself in the process.”

Rosanna said of DWTS: “Maybe I wish I’d had more self-confidence right at the beginning. Particular­ly in the first show. I felt sick before we went out on the dance floor.

“I was sick with the nerves but you know a few weeks in I still get butterflie­s in my stomach when it’s our time to go to dance but I’ve started to embrace the experience more and see it as fun rather than terrifying.”
