Roz Purcell has taken a walk down memory lane this week, reacting to a video compilation of her looks from her time competing in Miss Universe.

The 32-year-old represented Ireland at the Miss Universe pageant back in 2010, subsequently getting signed to Donald Trump’s modelling agency in New York after she came seventh in the competition.

Now, 13 years on, the Tipperary native is looking back on her beauty queen past, with fans and famous friends amazed by the then 19-year-old.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Roz posted a side-by-side video of her then and now, writing; 'When I get tagged in these old videos of my teens in Miss universe…. I can’t believe that was me! The hair flicks the confidence, nah I could not do that now.'

The video in question sees a baby faced Roz strutting her stuff on the Miss Universe stage, donning both a sparkly evening gown and skimpy bikini.

Famous friends of the star were quick to commend her on her past life, with presenter and influencer Katja Mia writing; 'Goddess then and goddess nowww.'

'I remember following your journey and being absolutely shook you didn’t win!! Beautiful inside and out,' influencer Terrie McEvoy added.

'If we’re lucky we live loads of lives in our one little life. Superstar then, superstar now,' sustainability activist, Fionnuala Moran commented.

This look down memory lane comes just after Roz recently offered up advice to a follower who approached her regarding their best friend making them feel like they weren't 'good enough.'

'Help with what2do when bestie makes u feel not good enough? know it's bad but iv [sic] few friends,' the follower shared.

The Natural Born Feeder and Hike Life founder shared her advice on the matter, noting that 'anyone putting someone else down has something going on themselves.'

'It's nothing to do with you, that's all their own insecurities bursting out,' Roz reassured.
