The Bachelorette’s Sophie Monk masculinity challenge

She has previously admitted that she isn’t interested in dating a ‘pretty boy’. 

And so it’s no surprise Sophie Monk was raring to see whether her suitors were willing to get their hands dirty with manual work this week on The Bachelorette. 

In a new promo video for Thursday night’s episode, the blonde beauty is seen challenging her band of merry men to a ‘masculinity competition’, which involved competitive tyre changing and drawer fixing.

‘Sophie, what are you looking for?’ Osher asked Sophie at the beginning of the promo.  

‘A real man,’ the former actress responded. 

While some men were visibly concerned about the competition, resident ‘villain’ Blake remained calm and collected.

‘I’m probably one of the manliest guys here,’ he told the camera with a smug smile.

The promo also revealed growing tensions between rivals Blake and Jarrod. 

Blake couldn’t help but complain a bout Jarrod’ zealous approach during the tyre-changing challenge, telling the cameras: ‘ Jarrod would rather just change all four himself.’

Meanwhile, Ryan struggled to impress Sophie with his handyman skills by attempting to construct a set of drawers- despite the fact that he works as a construction foreman.

‘I’m not thinking about this flat pack. I’m wondering if I’ve still got a job when I get home,’ joked Ryan.   

The Bachelorette continues Thursday 7.30pm on Ten.
