An Australian reality TV star has shared an absolutely unrecongnisable snap to social media.
The 42-year-old stunned fans with the black in white images taken when she was just 13.
The Married At First Sight alum captioned the images with a powerful message encouraging her followers to help ‘raise the age of social media citizenship from 13 to 16’.
‘Look how skinny I was #supermodelera,’ the mother-of-one went on to marvel.
So can you guess who the reality TV star is?
An Australian reality TV star has shared an absolutely unrecongnisable snap to social media. So can you guess who she is?
That’s right, it’s none other than Jules Robinson, who met her future husband Cam Merchant on season 6 of the reality TV megahit.
She captioned her post, ‘I can’t imagine how much would have struggled when I 13-14 if I was participating on social media… I left school very young, one because I knew exactly what I wanted to become but also because I changed schools from bullying.
‘To know that when I got home it stopped and I was safe ( well tbh sometimes it did follow me home ) was a relief.’
‘What a cutie,’ wrote her husband Cam in the post’s comments.
‘No way,’ marveled one fan of the striking difference in Jules’ recent appearance and the throwbacks.

‘Beautiful little girl. Can see so much of Oli [in you]’ wrote another of the resemblance to Jules and Cam’s young son.
The trip down memory lane comes after Jules lifted the lid on her debilitating battle with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) as she prepares to welcome her second child with husband Cameron Merchant.
The entrepreneur first spoke to the media about her experience with PMDD in October, after suffering from the condition since before she welcomed her first child Oliver three years ago.

Now, speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, Jules has revealed her PMDD symptoms completely vanished after she fell pregnant earlier this year, but she still fears it may return after she gives birth.
PMDD is an intense, occasionally debilitating, form of premenstrual syndrome characterised by extreme mood swings that can significantly disrupt women’s daily life and strain relationships.
‘It’s been the silver lining and the blessing of pregnancy that I don’t have PMDD anymore,’ said the reality star, who recently released her debut book Ask Jules.

While Jules noted that she does experience typical pregnancy mood swings ‘where you just sit and cry’, it hasn’t been anything close to what she experienced with PMDD.
Jules admitted that she is concerned her PMDD will return once she gives birth, but still remains optimistic this time around.
‘It is a little time ticking bomb that’s going off. How am I going to feel? But I just go into it knowing that I’ve got so much more education behind me,’ she said.

She went on to credit attending events with the Gidget Foundation with helping her gain knowledge on how to cope if PMDD rears its head again.
The Gidget Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that offers educational tools for expectant and new parents to prevent and treat mental health issues.
‘I went to a Gidget Foundation event a couple of weeks ago, and it was just so humbling. And I just felt in that safe network that if I’m feeling like that again, there’s people that you can call,’ she said.
