An Aussie star has shared a photo of herself in her teenage years alongside famous surfer Mark Occhilupo.

The household name, 49, posted the throwback snap to Instagram on Monday as she reminisced about the 'good ol' Gold Coast days'. 

Alluding that she was into 'surfer boys' at the time, this blonde beauty was all smiles as she posed with the 1999 ASP World titleholder. 

Now a big shot in her own right, the media personality hosts a very popular Sydney breakfast radio show which has become a ratings juggernaut. 

Making her name as a leading radio host for the last two decades, she recently signed a massive deal which will keep her on the air until December 2034. 

She signed the contract last year in a historic move which will land her a $100million salary over the next ten years.

The Sydney socialite has been married twice and shares a teenage daughter with her second husband who she split from in October 2018.

Do you know who this Aussie radio star is?

It's Jackie 'O' Henderson!

In the snap, Jackie wore a loose-fit black jumper with her blonde tresses pulled back into a half-up half-down style she tied off with a scrunchie. 

With a simple chain around her neck, Jackie looked completely fresh faced without a lick of makeup in sight as the pair appeared to be standing in a very windy location.

Meanwhile, Occy rocked his usual long sandy locks along with a bright pink jumper which made him stand out in the photo.

Jackie captioned the picture: 'Going through some pics for my memoirs! The good ol' Gold Coast days when I was into the surfer boys.'

The radio host's dive back into her memories comes as she is set to release a new 'tell all' memoir titled The Whole Truth on October 29.  

Jackie took to Instagram earlier this month with a post about the new book in which she admitted she was scared about being 'judged' over what the memoir reveals.

'So I finally decided to write a book and I'm really excited (and slightly terrified) to share it with you all,' she admitted.

'There's a lot I've shared on radio throughout the years, but there's an equal amount I haven't.'

'Endless hours and months were spent sitting on this couch revisiting all the highs and lows and there were times I thought about abandoning it altogether, mostly out of fear, fear of judgement I guess,' she continued.

'But I've realised it's better to own every part of me, even the parts I've struggled to speak about before, because speaking the truth brings more peace than hiding from it ever could.

'I'm so proud to share my story and give you all of me in this book.'

Jackie also included a photo of herself showing off the cover of her new memoir which featured a moody 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 tying the knot with Lee Henderson in 2003.

Jackie and the UK photographer went on to welcome their daughter Catalina 'Kitty' Henderson to the world in December 2010 before separating eight years later.
