Rosanna Davison found a new lease of life this year after years of heartbreak and challenges

Rosanna Davison is looking forward to 2025 in her new family home after discovering a new lease of life this year.

The former Miss World, husband Wes Quirke and their children Sophia, Oscar and Hugo will move into a new house in the New Year as the family of five enter the next phase of their lives.

With the years of new motherhood behind her, as well as the trauma of suffering multiple heartbreaking miscarriages in years gone by, Rosanna says she has rediscovered "an inner light" she had lost for a while.

The mum-of-three credits taking part in Dancing with the Stars at the beginning of 2024 for her renewed sense of confidence .

Rosanna said: "When you're so focused on family you do lose a sense of who you used to be. It's a difficult one to explain. It's not about confidence in the traditional sense of the word but I think I'd forgotten that I was able to learn new skills. I used to have a lot of ability in myself to learn something new and I've always enjoyed a challenge.

"I found Dancing with the Stars terrifying at the beginning. It wasn't being on live TV and it wasn't about doing something public facing. It was the idea of coordinating myself and learning a new, technical skill and being judged on it. I had no formal dance training. It taught me that I could conquer my fears and go out and do something new. It gave me a real lease of life that I've kept with me all this year."

Rosanna has taken on many new projects this year, such as purchasing and renovating her new home, but took them on with a new point of view.

She told Woman's Way: "So many of our fears are in our own heads. I've had other career challenges this year - not negatives - just projects that I've enjoyed and there's our new home. Dancing with the Stars gave me the confidence to approach these in a new way. I really needed that after the years I spent trying to have a family."

Rosanna has always been conscious of her health, but has made an even stronger effort when it comes to nutrition, sleep and exercise since becoming a mum.

"You can get away with being more reckless when you're younger. I don't skip my supplements, I would drink more water. It's all the unglamorous things like eating your veg and going to bed early," she explained.

Hangovers are now a thing of the past for Rosanna and she much prefers a cosy night in on the sofa watching television over a night out in a bar or club.

She added: "I did enough in my 20s. I am very conscious of making the most of my experience of life. I have to look after myself - being a working mom is demanding. Discipline is freedom."
