Sophie Monk will have to venture outside of her comfort zone to find love on The Bachelorette.
In awkward footage released on Channel Ten’s social media accounts on Wednesday, the 37-year-old was introduced to an odd collection of suitors – and three young kids.
After meeting a pair of larger-than-life bachelors, the movie star was truly stunned when three young children emerged, asking: ‘will you date our uncle?’
Lost for words: In awkward footage released on Wednesday, next Bachelorette, Sophie Monk was introduced to a very odd collection of suitors – and three young children
‘All I’ve ever wanted is a down to earth Aussie bloke, and I’ve got a good feeling about this,’ Sophie said at the start of the footage.
But the comments were a clear misdirection, as the clip then introduced a pair of ‘blokes’ destined to be framed as the series’ comic relief.
First off, a hunky dark-haired suitor emerged, produced a white rose, and asked the beauty: ‘Does this look like a rose?’
Will she find what she’s looking for? ‘All i’ve ever wanted is a down to earth Aussie bloke, and I’ve got a good feeling about this,’ Sophie, 37, said at the start of the footage
Maybe not… But the comments were a clear misdirection, as the clip then introduced a pair of ‘blokes’ destined to be the series’ comic relief, including a magician named Apollo, 24
As anyone with near-perfect vision would, she replied ‘Yeah!’ as the hunk waived his hands over the flower, causing it to burst into flames and turn red.
‘What is going on here?’ Sophie asked as she was introduced to Apollo, 24, whose byline read: ‘Magician.’
In the next awkward encounter, fair-haired vineyard manager Jarrod casually strolled out with a keg of grapes.
‘I thought we could do some grape crushing?’ In the next awkward encounter, fair-haired vineyard manager Jarrod casually strolled out with a keg of grapes
‘That’s my hobby and my passion’: The movie star embraced the opportunity, seen grabbing 31-year-old Jarrod’s hand, hiking-up her formal gown and climbing into the bucket
‘I thought we could do some grape crushing?’ he asked casually, as if he’d had success with the courting technique before.
Sincerely, she replied: ‘That’s my hobby and my passion – drinking it not crushing it.’
And with that, Sophie grabbed 31-year-old Jarrod’s hand, hiked-up her long halterneck formal gown and climbed into the bucket.
‘What is going on?’ Next, in perhaps the most bizarre introduction in the show’s history, three young boys emerged asking: ‘you look really pretty, will you date our uncle?’
Next, in perhaps the most bizarre introduction in the show’s history, three young boys emerged, wearing matching tuxedo’s.
‘What is going on!?’ she asked for the second time, as the adorable youngsters smiled nervously.
‘We just wanted to say you look pretty, and will you date our uncle?’
Is he the one? A 24-year-old magician (L) and a 31-year-old vineyard manager are just two of the men competing for Sophie Monk’s love on The Bachelorette
