The Bachelor star Emma Roche looks back on becoming an Australian citizen

Emma Roche has had a mixed year in 2019 after she was turned down by Matt Agnew on The Bachelor.

But the 32-year-old took a more positive perspective on Tuesday as she looked back on what was an eventful decade.

The reality star uploaded two pictures that showed her 10 years apart. 

She began the post: ‘A decade in the difference!’

‘I moved over 17,000 kilometres to the other side of the world from Ireland to Australia and became an Australian citizen after seven long years,’ she said.

Then Emma appeared to take a swipe at The Bachelor, as she listed her many achievements.

‘I had some dodgy teeth fixed, went on a silly TV show, learned how difficult it is to live away from your family, but gained a tonne of beautiful friends,’ she said.

The reality star wrapped things up by saying she now had a better ‘appreciation of things in life’ and was looking forwarded to the next decade.

Emma is currently rumoured to be one of many in line to be the next Bachelorette. 

Last year, Emma was forced to deny a romance with MAFS star Dean Wells, after a photo surfaced on Instagram of the pair cuddling up together.

Discussing the snap, Emma laughed: ‘I looked terrible! Everyone thought I was dating Dean, but he’s just a really good friend.

‘He’s been really supportive of me throughout the whole process.’
