Rose of Tralee host Kathryn Thomas rescues injured cat in Kerry...and calls her Rose

Thomas, who will be back on our TV screens on Monday and Tuesday night for the official Rose selection nights, posted about the rescue on her Instagram story on Friday. 'Picked up this poor angel on the motorway roundabout with cars literally driving over her. She couldn't move and it looked like her back legs were broken,' said Ms Thomas in her post.
"Googled Tralee vets. Rang one who refused to take her. Then rang Abbey Veterinary Centre on Church St who told me to bring her in. She peed all over my Rose of Tralee Festival briefs on the way there but vet Deirdre Cremins, the angel that she is, thinks she has a chance.
"All the staff were so lovely as I had to run but said they'd keep me updated. We all called her Rose. I'm not able #PrayForRose' the post finished.

Katie Taylor reflects on 'devastating lows and amazing highs' in touching post

Katie Taylor has paid tribute to those in her inner circle who have stood by her side through the good times and the bad. Fresh off defeating Amanda Serrano for a third consecutive time, Taylor has been taking to social media to show respect to those closest to her. Last week, she posted a heartfelt message for her father, Pete, who returned to her corner for the Serrano trilogy fight after many years staying away from her boxing career. This week, the 'Bray bomber' took to Instagram to thank her friends, family and coaches for being by her side through 'devastating lows and amazing highs.' "You never win alone. Only by the grace of God. A collective effort from those who believed in me. Those who walked this journey with me, the devastating lows and amazing highs. Unending encouragement. Unconditional love. Family. Coach. Friends. My team," wrote Taylor on Instagram as a caption on a picture of herself with her loved ones. In the photo, which was taken backstage following her win over Serrano, members of Taylor's family - such as her mother Bridget - can be seen, while the likes of promoter Eddie Hearn, manager Brian Peeters and trainer Ross Enamait can also be seen. That win marked the end of her rivalry with Serrano, who she has fought three times since 2022. What comes next for Taylor is anybody's guess. It had been rumoured that the third Serrano bout would be her final ever contest, but weeks on from that win, Taylor has yet to make a definitive statement on her future. While her fighting career is shrouded in mystery, dad Pete shed light on her personal life as he confirmed that Katie was married after the undisputed super-lightweight champion was spotted wearing a wedding ring in the weeks leading up to the Serrano trilogy fight.
