She has fought off rumours of a split with boyfriend Stu Laundy for weeks.
But The Bachelorette star Sophie Monk nearly crumbled under pressure during a very awkward chat about her relationship on The Kyle & Jackie O Show.
The 37-year-old vehemently attempted to convince her friends Kyle Sandilands, Jackie ‘O’ Henderson and Guy Sebastian about the validity of their romance.

The reality star told Guy, who was briefly filling in as show host, she wouldn’t be attending Tuesday night’s ARIA Awards with Stu, taking her father Andrew instead.
‘We are together, we’re just not good at public PDA! He doesn’t want to be famous,’ she confessed.
‘I don’t think we can win at this point! You just have to live life and enjoy it,’ she continued.

Taking over the interview, Kyle then grilled Sophie on her relationship status with her chosen Bachelorette winner, asking where Stu was.
‘He’s in bed asleep,’ she replied, after telling the hosts they were staying at a hotel.
‘I want to hear his voice for proof!’ Kyle prodded her.
‘I’m not going to wake him up,’ she defiantly answered. ‘I can’t be bothered anymore! Everyone can think what they want.’
‘I think he’s not there,’ Kyle declared.

‘I swear I’ll do an announcement when we break up, the second we do,’ she replied, prompting Kyle to answer: ‘You say that as if it’s already predetermined!’
‘Put the phone to Stu’s ear, I want to talk to him!’ he continued to prod.
‘I’m 100 percent not doing that,’ she defiantly stated, to which Kyle said: ‘Because he’s not there!’
Appearing to have a change of heart, Kyle then backtracked: ‘Okay, I believe you. You’re not a liar, that’s one thing you’re not.’
‘She is not a liar!’ added Guy, defending his longtime friend.
