Wicklow resident Rosanna makes Playboy history

Enniskerry girl Rosanna Davison has made history by being the first Irish woman to feature on the cover of Playboy magazine.

The Irish model and daughter of singer Chris de Burgh appears topless on the cover of German Playboy’s October issue, which was published on Wednesday.

It is rumoured she is to have received a six-figure sum for the shoot, which took place this year in January on a beach in Mauritius.

The pictures are only available in the German edition of the world famous magazine but there is mounting speculation that the photos may make the main US version of the magazine.

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner keeps a close eye on all international editions of the publication in order to find new models for the iconic American version.
