Dua Lipa’s analysts were stunned after a clip of her appearing on an Australian reality show before returning to worldwide fame.
The British-Albanian singer was an up-and-coming pop star when she appeared on the second series of The Bachelorette Australia in 2016.
At the time, the 22-year-old star was opening for Australian singer Troye Sivan on his tour.
The unearthed clip shows the Grammy winner performing her tracks Be The One and Hotter Than Hell for Bachelorette Georgia Love and her would-be suitor Clancy Ryan.
Little did the couple know that the 28-year-old would hit the big time the following year after releasing her debut single New Rules.
The clip, which was shared on TikTok by The Shameless Podcast, stunned many fans as they commented in droves on it.
