White is no longer the only colour for a rose
Adi Roche’s niece, Sinead De Roiste, who is representing Philadelphia, will be the first non-white contestant in the 45-year history of the competition.
The mixed race 25-year-old, who recently took up a job working with Kelloggs International in Michigan, is the daughter of Adi’s brother, former army lieutenant Donal De Roiste - who is separated from her mother, Leah, and lives in Youghal, Co Cork.
