An Australian radio star looked unrecognisable in a throwback image she shared of herself alongside famous surfer Mark Occhilupo as a teenager.
The KIIS FM presenter, 49, posted the retro snap on Instagram on Monday as she reminisced about the “good old days of the Gold Coast”.
Hinting that she was into “surfer boys” at the time, the blonde beauty was all smiles as she posed with the 1999 ASP World Champion.
Now a celebrity in her own right, this media personality hosts a hugely popular morning radio show in Sydney that has become a ratings juggernaut.
The sensationalist broadcaster, who has made a name for herself as a leading radio presenter over the past two decades, recently signed a major contract that will keep her on air until December 2034.
He signed the contract last year in a landmark move that will see him earn a salary of $100 million over the next ten years while his radio show moves to the Melbourne territory.
The Sydney socialite has been married twice and shares a teenage daughter with her second husband, from whom she split in October 2018.

It’s Jackie ‘O’ Henderson!
Jackie looked unrecognisable in a throwback photo she shared on Instagram on Monday, appearing as a teenager alongside surfer Occy, 58.
In the snapshot, Jackie wore a loose black sweater with her blonde hair pulled back in a half-up, half-down style that she secured with a hair tie.
With a simple chain around her neck, Jackie looked completely fresh-faced without a single layer of makeup in sight as the couple appeared to be standing in a very windy location.
Meanwhile, Occy sported her usual long sandy-colored locks along with a bright pink sweater that made her stand out in the photo.

It’s Jackie ‘O’ Henderson! The 49-year-old media personality (pictured), who is now a celebrity in her own right, hosts a hugely popular morning radio show in Sydney that has become a ratings juggernaut.
Jackie captioned the image: “Looking through some pictures for my memories! The good old days of the Gold Coast, when I was into surfer boys.”
The radio host’s dive into her memories comes as she prepares to release a tell-all new memoir titled The Whole Truth on Oct. 29.
Earlier this month, Jackie took to Instagram to post about the new book in which she admitted she was afraid of being “judged” for what the memoir reveals.
“I finally decided to write a book and I’m so excited (and a little terrified) to share it with you all,” she admitted.
‘I’ve shared a lot of things on the radio over the years, but there’s a lot I haven’t shared.’

“I spent endless hours and months sitting on this couch going through all the ups and downs and there were times when I thought about giving up completely, mostly out of fear, fear of being judged, I guess,” she continued.
‘But I’ve realized that it’s better to acknowledge every part of myself, even the parts I’ve had trouble talking about before, because telling the truth brings more peace than hiding from it.
‘I’m very proud to share my story and give you all of myself in this book.’
Jackie also included a photo of herself showing off the cover of her new memoir, which featured a sad black-and-white photo of her.
The media star has been married twice before, marrying and divorcing DJ “Ugly” Phil O’Neil in the 1990s before marrying Lee Henderson in 2003.
Jackie and the British photographer welcomed daughter Catalina “Kitty” Henderson into the world in December 2010 before splitting eight years later.
