Guess who! Controversial Bachelorette Australia star stuns fans with an unrecognisable throwback pic

She is a reality TV star best known for a series of controversies following her broadcast.

And a famous Australian bachelorette stunned her fans with an unrecognizable throwback photo on Thursday.

On Instagram, the 34-year-old showed her followers a photo of herself sitting up in bed as a child, along with the caption “just a real photo of me.”

Can you guess who the former reality media star is?

That’s right, it’s the star of the second season of The Bachelorette Australia, Georgia Love.

The trip down memory lane comes after Love revealed her surprising new career move last month.

Georgia announced in September that she had landed a morning radio newsreader for KIIS FM in Melbourne.

Via her Instagram account, the former TV newsreader shared a selfie of herself smiling while sitting behind the microphone in the studio.

‘I’ve always been told I have a face for radio! Exciting and super fun new performance hitting the airwaves to bring Melbourne your news on KISS 101.1,” she wrote in her caption.

Love’s announcement received tons of support from her friends and fans in the comments.

‘Congratulations and an exciting new beginning!’ wrote one user.

“Congratulations, I’ll listen to that familiar voice,” another added.

Love has bypassed a number of high-profile media jobs in the past two years.

She started her career in journalism at WIN News, before her profile skyrocketed in 2016 when she was cast on Channel 10’s The Bachelorette.

She became a casual reporter for Melbourne’s Ten Eyewitness News, later renamed 10 News First, but was laid off in early 2021 due to budget cuts.

The role was what she described as her dream job, before moving to rival network Channel Seven in February 2021.

But Love’s TV career came to a halt seven months later after she made headlines for all the wrong reasons.

In September 2021, Love posted a video to her Instagram account asking if a cat was on the menu at a Chinese restaurant after seeing the animal in the window.

‘Store clerk or lunch?!’ she captioned her post at the time. She also posted a similar “joke” about pets and Chinese restaurants in 2013.

Critics claimed the images were offensive and showed a harmful stereotype about Chinese people.

Love deleted the video an hour later and apologized for “offending,” but denied at the time that the post contained racist “innuendos.”

Following a workplace investigation, Seven alerted staff via email later that week that Love had been “consulted” and reassigned to an off-camera role “with immediate effect.”

Last month, Love finally addressed the scandal after remaining quiet in the wake of the backlash.

Speak Unpleasant Stellar magazinethe media personality called out cancel culture, while also apologizing for her actions.

“I hate the term cancel. To think that we have the ability to cancel someone – whether it be from their industry, their job, their family and friends. We don’t have the ability to do that,” she said.

Love said cancel culture is unfair because people aren’t given the opportunity to defend themselves in the “heat of the moment.”

She also lamented the fallout from the scandal, telling the magazine: “I had my dream job. I felt so happy every day that I was able to do what I loved and what I had dreamed of for so long.

“So losing that on-air job – I continued to work at Seven but was taken off air because of the fallout – was probably the hardest thing for me because I’ve always put a lot of emphasis and focus on my work. and my career.’

Georgia and her husband Lee Elliot were later drafted for promoting tourism to Saudi Arabia.

The Middle Eastern country has been condemned worldwide in recent years for its human rights violations against its people.
