The 21-year-old became the third Rose from New Zealand to win the title since the competition began.

Before they revealed the winner, viewers and audience members were treated to a stunning rendition of some traditional Irish music.

Performing in the spirit of the event, TikTok star Garron Noone and legendary Irish trad musician Sharon Shannon lashed out some trad tunes on stage in the Dome in Tralee.

Earlier in the show, presenter Daithi O Se suffered a blunder as he slipped up on TV.

Before cutting to the adverts, he told viewers that "after the break" they would be crowing the winner of the "Rose of Tralee 2022".

Kathryn immediately cut across to save Daithi and said: "Or 2024 even."

Mistake noticed

The duo both looked at each other and let out a big laugh as Daithi realised what he had said.

But RTE viewers were quick to notice the mistake as they took to Twitter to share their hilarious reactions.

Bernie laughed: "I think Daithi just did a Joe Biden lol! 2022 rose of Tralee??"

Stephen joked: "Daithi is no more good after that granny, he thinks it’s 2022."
