I am really excited that the Rose of Tralee International Festival returns this year, I think we all really missed it. I do feel like it's another sign of things getting back to normal. I am looking forward to meeting the incredible 33 International Roses.
I also cannot wait to go back to Tralee to see everyone take to the streets on Saturday night and presenting the shows on Monday and Tuesday where we will have a few surprises up our sleeves as well when it comes to the party pieces.
