She’s a real sport

Model Rozanna Purcell was crowned the first winner of Celebrity Come Dine With Me Ireland earlier this year. “I love cooking and I knew I’d produced an excellent meal,” says the 21-year-old, who was up against Brian Kennedy, Paul Martin, Noel Cunningham and George McMahon.

From Clonmel, Rozanna was Miss Universe Ireland in 2010 and was subsequently signed up by Donald Trump to his New York-based modelling agency. “I’ve met Donald Trump several times. I’ve been up in his office and have a close working relationship with him. He’s obviously still intimidating but he’s very genuine — he just wants to help young people get ahead.”

A keen sportswoman, Rozanna is brand ambassador for the Body Logic range and is running the Flora women’s mini marathon on Monday for the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
