Sophie Monk rose to prominence as a member of the girl group Bardot after success in the Australian reality television series Popstars. Bardot became the first Australian act to debut at the No. 1 position with both their debut single ‘Poison’ and self-titled debut album.
In 2005, Sophie relocated to LA to focus further upon her acting. Monk quickly found her feet in Hollywood, and appeared in films such as Date Movie (2006), Click (2006) and Spring Breakdown (2009). She also made her American television debut with a role in the HBO series Entourage.
She was declared the winner of the fourth season of The Celebrity Apprentice Australia in 2015 and in 2016 was a judge on Australia’s Got Talent.
Refreshingly down-to-earth and a self-confessed “dork”, Sophie has endeared herself to the Australian public across recent years as a host on 2Day FM and as a regular fixture on KIIS 1065.
A natural beauty, in 2017 Sophie was announced as the new Bachelorette. Her selection met with widespread excitement and approval.
The premiere of the show averaged 952,000 viewers with another 269,000 tuning in across regional areas for a national average of 1.22 million.
In 2022, Sophie returned to our screens on Channel 9 to host ‘Beauty and the Geek’ & ‘Love Island Australia’.
Sophie Monk is a proud supporter of the Daniel Morcombe Foundation.
