Rosanna Davison has had many careers. What’s next for this ambitious entrepreneur?
She famously won the Miss World competition in 2003, and it seemed that overnight, Rosanna Davison became a household name in Ireland. Today, Davison is more into fitness than fashion and, following on from her number one bestseller in 2015, Eat Yourself Beautiful, the UCD graduate has just penned her second number one bestseller, Eat Yourself Fit.
Niamh Linehan sat down with Davison to discuss diet tips for stressed out entrepreneurs, the challenges she faces as she grows her brand and what the future holds.
NL: You have had a successful modelling and TV career to date, why prompted you to make a move into business?
RD: Developing my brand and moving it more into the area of business has been a natural progression for me.

Day to day, it means more decisions need to be made and more time spent in my office than being out and about, but I’m enjoying the process.

NL: Can you tell us a little bit about your new book and the inspiration behind it?
RD: Eat Yourself Fit is the follow-up to last year’s book, Eat Yourself Beautiful, and it’s more focused on fitness foods. It contains over 100 healthy recipes, from smoothies and juices to breakfasts, main courses, fresh snacks and decadent desserts made with healthier ingredients. I took favourites, including banoffee pie, cheesecake, brownies, biscuits, sticky toffee puddings and chocolate fudge cake, and made them using whole foods and without refined sugar.
