‘Santa looks a lot like my dad!’ quipped Sophie in an initial post, before uploading a subsequent snap of herself and bespectacled Andrew posing for a selfie. 

Sophie then shared a final image of her father, this time posing solo while wearing the same blank-eyed expression.

‘What a legend for a kindy,’ Sophie wrote in the caption, hinting that Andrew may have spent the day entertaining children at a kindergarten. 

He's not fooling anyone! 'Santa looks a lot like my dad!' quipped Sophie in an initial post, making sure to add a smirking face emoji

Sophie has been gearing up to spend Christmas with her family and new boyfriend Stu Laundy, who she has been dating for almost six months.   

Gushing about her new romance, she told Woman’s Day in October that she has already started thinking about tying the knot with the millionaire publican, saying: ‘I’d prefer to elope rather than stay in Australia.’

Sophie added: ‘I’d want it to be low-key. I just want everyone to have a big party and enjoy themselves.’
