SOPHIE Monk’s sister Lucy has revealed she almost talked her older sibling out of signing up to be the Bachelorette.

The 34-year-old mum-of-three told Confidential she didn’t want to see her sister suffer any more criticism in an industry which has already been so hard on her.

“She’s put herself in the position where people are going to say ‘she’s doing the show solely for publicity or money’ and then if she doesn't find someone people are going to say ‘see, she’s done it for the wrong reasons’,” Lucy said.

“That was hard to think that everyone wouldn’t be talking nicely about her and she’s gone through so much. I didn’t want her putting herself in the position where she’d have to go through that, that was really, really hard.”

Fortunately Lucy didn’t succeed in convincing the 37-year-old not to do the show, with Monk revealing she is head over heels with her chosen bloke and the show’s ratings cementing her as the most watched Bachelor or Bachelorette ever.

Lucy and her parents, Andrew and Sandi, go undercover in Wednesday night’s episode of the show, donning wigs and disguises to get up close and personal with their loved one’s suitors.

“It was awesome to have the opportunity to do that. If she’s got a boyfriend it’s usually quite secretive for the first bit, we won’t meet them or speak to them so it was good to get a head start and have a chat and see what we think of them,” Lucy said.

“We were pretty honest about how we felt about each of the people we spoke to.

“The worst thing was Dad is hopeless with names so his feedback was a bit useless anyway.”
