Rosanna Davison is well used to the spotlight and when it comes to her family, being the eldest also comes with its attention.
The mum-of-three is very close to her clann; her mum, her two brothers and in particular her dad Chris de Burgh, with many saying she's the apple of his eye.
Following him into the celebrity lifestyle, the former Miss World remembers what life was like before motherhood and fame when the responsibility of being the eldest fell at her feet.

During an interview with the Irish Times, Rosanna was asked where she came from in her family and if it had an impact on how she saw the world.
Thinking back, she said: 'I think that it definitely affected me. I was the guinea pig of the family. I was the one that was given a mobile phone first. I was the one who had to be better behaved. I was the one that the family's behaviour was based on.'

As with most families, the youngest may have it a little easier than the eldest. She said: 'I think when my younger brother came along my mum didn't have the time or energy to worry as much so he got away with more.'
Speaking about growing up, Rosanna admitted: 'I was the only child for four years before the first of my two brothers came along, so I was given all the attention for four years and then Mum's attention was divided. So I think that affects you in some ways as well.'
