On the cover of the magazine, a wet-haired Monk sizzles in a black bikini while staring into the lens of the camera. Her tanned skin glows against the aqua blue pool behind her.

In another snap, the star wears a see-through metallic mesh gown. The slinky ensemble — with a thigh-high split — clings to every curve of Monk’s body.

Monk shows off her toned figure in the glamorous dress.

Talking about her new-found love with millionaire publican Stu Laundy, Monk said it was their humour the sparked a connection.

“On the first boat trip we had, I just got his humour instantly and it was a relief because it all can get very serious, and to lighten it up was just the nicest,” she said of Laundy, who’s heir to his family’s $500 million fortune.

“Every woman is different but for me, the things that I think are sexy in a guy are humour, like that’s the main one, confidence and self-esteem. That’s it.”

‘I got his humour instantly’ ... Sophie and Stu.
