The LoveLaois Podcast this week features a very special guest who has achieved international fame. 

Last month, Katelyn Cummins was crowned International Rose of Tralee - the first ever winner from Laois. 

On Monday, she was at Downey's to collect her brand new Kia car which she will drive for the year. 

Our own Steven Miller headed over for the event and caught up with Katelyn. 

Less than a month after her win, she speaks about how much her life has changed - and the parts she is trying to keep the same. 

Learning how to say 'no', what lies ahead for her in the next 12 months and her excitement at upgrading her car are also hot topics.
