Laura Whitmore's obviously a stunner, but bet you didn't know she was once a model.

Neither did we, TBH, until just this week. Images of the presenter from 14 years ago have surfaced on the RTÉ website and we genuinely don't think we'd know it was her. The photos date back to 2003, when Laura was just 18. A DCU student at the time, she was a finalist in the Irish Supermodel Of The Year competition. Laura beat almost 6,000 other girls to make it to the final 15 and appeared on the Late Late Show in November of that year. Here's how host Pat Kenny introduced her:

"She’s a journalism student and ideally if she becomes a successful fashion model, she would also like to write and she’d like to write professionally."

Laura missed out on the overall title and the prize of a contract with Ford Models Agency, but we reckon she's done pretty well since then.

The Wicklow native went on to win Pick Me MTV in 2008 and become a presenter with the entertainment channel. She's since fronted shows including I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! NOW! and the IFTAs, as well as compete on the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. Laura confirmed earlier this year that she's going out with comedian Iain Stirling, AKA the voiceover artist of Love Island.

Laura's set to reveal even more as a guest on our next episode of Girls With Goals. She'll be talking all things career, relationships and period sex. As you do. Keep an eye for the new episode on Monday!
