ROSANNA Davison has opened up on the “difficult time” her family experienced after her mum’s shock cancer diagnosis.
The Irish model’s mum, Diane, was diagnosed with blood cancer back in 2022 and after about a year of treatment got the good news that she was in “complete remission”.
Rosanna told how the year of her mum’s cancer diagnosis was “strange” for the whole family
The 40-year-old told RSVP: “My mum was going through chemotherapy in 2023. That was a strange year for the family. She always felt that it was caught very early, through routine bloods.”
The mum-of-three admitted that the period of time was “probably more difficult” for everyone around her mum as they had to “watch her go through it and lose her hair“.
The Dublin beauty has always had a lovely bond with her mum and ever since she started a family of her own, Diane has been on hand to help.
The former Miss World told People & Culture: “She was over every day. Helping with bedtime. She was amazing, such a support. She wasn’t really able to see the children last year because she had to be very careful of her immune system.”
Rosanna explained how her three kids would sit outside while her mum sat at her kitchen window and chatted to them.
She added: “It was strange for the children, but I think that they probably won’t remember too much about last year.”
The Irish star told how Diane was particularly nervous about how Rosanna’s kids would react to her hair loss.
Rosanna said: “Initially, she shaved it and then she lost it, but they just said, ‘Oh, Ga’s got short hair’. They call her Ga instead of granny. That was fine. They moved on. It gave her the confidence then.”
Fortunately, Rosanna and her family were left relieved in Christmas 2023 when Diane was told she was in remission from her illness.
Meanwhile, Rosanna recently shared the honest reality of “mum life” with a hilarious post about the aftermath of lunchtime with toddlers.
The model has three kids under the age of four Sophia, four, and twins Hugo and Oscar, three.
Rosanna took to Instagram to share a snippet of herself discovering a piece of her toddlers food in her bra.
The TV star humorously captioned the post: “Mum life: finding a bit of biscuit in your bra and eating it anyways.”
NOT SO ROSIE
In the short clip, Rosanna could be seen walking down her hallway at home while scrolling through social media.
She then stopped dead in her tracks and gave a confused look as she began to pat her chest.
Rosanna then reached into her top and pulled out a piece of biscuit which had fallen in there.
The Dublin native hilariously stared at the food before shrugging her shoulders and throwing it into her mouth.
Rosanna jokingly confessed: “Bits of cracker and toast have been found in my bra, bed, and even in the shower.”
