Before she was famous: Heidi Klum has shared a video of herself in a bathing suit aged 18 on her Facebook

 

 Cut above the rest! The video helped to win her a modeling competition in her native Germany

The blonde bombshell, who flaunts brunette locks in the compilation of clips, dons a purple bathing suit with scoop back and high bikini line as she parades her figure around a pool area.

In a range of shots for her show-reel, she can be seen lounging back on an inflatable bed before eventually immersing herself in the water.

She submitted the video for a television modeling competition back in the early Nineties and as she emerges with drenched hair it’s easy to see why the teenager appealled so much to her countrymen.

Out of 25,000 contestants, she was voted the winner and offered a modeling contract worth $300,000 by Thomas Zeumer, CEO of Metropolitan Models New York.
