Former Miss World Rosanna Davison has reacted to anti-refugee protests saying, "everyone is trying their best."

The mum-of-three welcomed her daughter Sophia via Ukrainian surrogate, Anastasiia Berezan.

When the war on Ukraine broke out, Anastasiia and her family were forced to flee their homes and move to Ireland to start a new life.

Asked what she thought about the ongoing anti-immigration protests, Rosanna said: "It’s such a difficult situation from all perspectives and everyone is just trying their best and everyone is trying to survive.

"I know she is just happy to be living in a safe country and that is what she wanted. That’s all that anyone wants, really."

Rosanna said Anastasiia and her family continue to remain happy living in Ireland.

"She is very much okay with her family. She is very settled in learning English and working full-time. They are happy here," she added.

Opening up about motherhood, Rosanna said: "Everything is good with the kids. It’s a nice time of year because we can give them their meals outside and there’s lots of fun in the garden.

"We’ve started potty training the boys. It’s nice. I’m really enjoying it this year because the world has opened up and we can take them out to cafes and restaurants. Last year was a bit hectic because we had to watch them every second of every day. They’re a little bit older now – two and a half!"

And she says fans aren’t intrusive trying to see what her children look like when she is out and about as she opted never to show their faces online, but the Dubliner said there is a huge community who enjoy hearing about Rosanna’s journey with being a mother.

"I find though, you look at your own kids differently. I find though that I am living the mother experience and going through what everyone else is going through. The endless housework and the endless snacks and meals but I find nobody ever asks to see them. It’s not that interesting to people, it’s more the experience of motherhood that is more interesting to other people," she added.
