The Bachelorette Sophie Monk was previously left shell-shocked when suitor Stu Laundy dropped the bombshell that he was still married.
And in Wednesday night’s episode of the Network Ten show, the 37-year-old attempted to get to the bottom of the matter.
During an intense chat, the blonde beauty grilled Stu about when he would be signing the divorce papers but the 44-year-old seemed evasive as he answered.

Seemingly concerned about Stu’s relationship woes, Sophie asked the millionaire directly: ‘When do you think you will be divorced?’
It appeared to be an uncomfortable question for Stu however and he stuttered as he replied.
‘Uh, very soon, hopefully. It’s not… you know, that there’s any chance there. But it’s… it’s not far away.’ he stammered.

The Date Movie actress then pressed Stu on his thoughts on marriage, asking whether she was the type of person he’d tied the knot with.
In what appeared to be another attempt to dodge tough questions, Stu laughed and said: ‘Ohhh! Well, what do YOU think?’
His evasive replies looked to be weighing on Sophie’s mind and she questioned whether there was enough there to continue the journey.
‘I like Stu a lot, but I’m still uncertain whether he’s ready for a relationship and to settle down,’ she said.
‘He’s still not telling me how he really feels about me. He’s kind of skirted ’round the question. So I’m unsure. I would have rather had a more direct answer, to be honest.’

The pub mogul split with the mother of his four children, Rachel Laundy, in 2013 but the pair are yet to officially finalise their divorce.
Stu is rumoured to win Sophie’s heart in The Bachelorette finale but despite this, The Daily Telegraph reported that he has recently been romantically linked to Sydney socialite Tiffany Tilley.
The Bachelorette finale is set to air Thursday night where Stu will go head to head with vineyard manager Jarrod Woodgate.
