Bachelorette Sophie Monk in love and flooded with offers

BECOMING The Bachelorette is paying off for Sophie Monk — but the self-proclaimed “bogan” admits she has blocked all of her celebrity exes from her phone.

BECOMING The Bachelorette is paying off already for Sophie Monk.

After finding love on the Channel 10 series the in-demand Gold Coast actor has been flooded with network offers both in Australia and internationally.

And while she felt her previous partners had purposely stalled her career, Monk believes the man she ended up with on the show won’t hold her back.

Monk said she hadn’t told any of her ex-partners — who include Benji Madden, Eric Grothe Jr and Sam Worthington — about being in The Bachelorette, but “I have just blocked every single one’s number.”

“I think I’ve dated people who are quite competitive and don’t want the best for me, whereas I feel that I’ve found someone who wants the best for me so it’s easy,” Monk, 37, said.

“We are getting a lot of options from networks. I’m in lockdown but I’ll focus on that once this is all over. I can try a movie or do TV or do little bits and pieces, but I would rather stay here. I’m done with overseas.”

Admitting she is terrible at keeping secrets, Monk is preparing to spend three weeks with a friend in Mexico next month to avoid the spectacle.

While she conceded she could have given 10 suitors the boot on the first day, Monk said she had definitely found love.

“I understand that this is a brand where you want an ending like a movie, but I wouldn’t do it unless I really liked someone. I would choose no one,” she said. “It wasn’t until right at the end that I fell in love, to be honest. I was still tossing up.”
