Mistaken identity: Sophie Monk’s humiliating hook-up with Kelly Slater

SOPHIE Monk couldn’t believe her dreams had come true when she started hooking up with surfer Kelly Slater. But her dreams were quickly shattered.

AS FAR as embarrassing stories go, this one is a doozy.

Sophie Monk revealed on Kiis FM’s Summer Fling this morning that she once hooked up with surfing champion Kelly Slater, or so she thought.

“It still makes me cringe,” said Monk to co-host Matty Acton before she reluctantly told the story.

“I’ve always had a crush since I was little on Kelly Slater. So yeah, I met Kelly Slater on a photoshoot and I was dying. He was just so hot and I’d just had one boyfriend out of high school and I was like, ‘This is amazing’.

“Then he asked for my number and I was like, ‘This is on I think.’ So we were texting and everything and I was like, ‘When am I going to see him?’ And then I thought, ‘Oh, he’s doing a surfing comp in ... Victoria.’ And I just happened to be nowhere near there but my friend lives in Geelong, so I was like, ‘Hey, do you want to go to a surf comp?’”

Pay close attention Sophie, this is what Kelly looks like.

Monk and her friend attended the competition and had a few drinks. Slater later saw her at the event and invited her back to his beach house.

“So anyway, he’s playing guitar and then he goes, ‘I’m going to take a shower,’ and I’m like, ‘Sure you are. I’m in,’ because my beer goggles are like ‘he wants me.’

“So I sneak into his room ... we’re making out and whatever ... And I’m like, ‘I’ve always liked you Kelly,’ and I hear this, ‘Kelly?’”

Yep, Sophie Monk had snuck into the wrong room and was actually making out with another surfer, not Kelly Slater.

“He turned on the light. I was in a bed bunk ... I was like, ‘What are you doing?’ I lost it.”

Embarrassed beyond belief, Monk then fled the beach house. Can’t blame her really.
