Love Island Australia presenter Sophie Monk has provided some comic relief from the summer heat with a brilliantly botched TikTok video shared on her Instagram.
A Sizzling Social Media Moment
The 46-year-old television personality took to the platform to post a short, bizarre clip of herself attempting the popular photo booth trend set to the song The Middle by Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey. Instead of meticulously editing her poses to match the music's 'ticking' sound, Sophie decided to try it live. The result was a series of wonderfully weird and exaggerated facial expressions as she lip-synced to the lyrics.
In the video, Sophie Monk showcased her enviable figure in a light pink bikini top paired with skimpy pink-and-white checked bottoms. Captioning the hilarious clip, she wrote: 'What else do you do on a boiling hot day? Hope everyone’s keeping cool.' She later admitted her attempt might not have been technically perfect, adding: 'I’m not sure I did the trend right now, looking at other people’s posts.'
Fans Applaud the Relatable Fail
Sophie's 717,000 followers were thoroughly entertained by the relatable mishap. The comment section filled with praise for her self-effacing humour. Fellow Australian singer Ricki-Lee Coulter responded with a string of eight crying-laughing emojis. One fan commented: 'Thanks for the laugh, I’ve been at work this weekend…. flopped on the lounge and wow, made me laugh so hard.' Another added: 'Been cracking me up since good old Date Movie. Love you Sophie.'
This light-hearted post follows another recent video where Sophie gave fans a candid glimpse behind the glamour. She humorously compared her full makeup and hair extensions look to a fresh-faced, makeup-free reality, joking 'He's right' in response to a hypothetical comment about her looking better without the enhancements.
Behind the Scenes of Sophie's Glow
Despite her polished on-screen appearances, Sophie has previously revealed her beauty and fitness routines are refreshingly straightforward. She told Daily Mail that she is 'not big on doing extremes for beauty,' relying instead on hydrating face masks for her dry skin. Her regimen started young, using simple cleansers and lanolin.
On the fitness front, she credits her husband, Joshua Gross, whom she met in 2018, for inspiring a healthier lifestyle. 'I have to, because he's all healthy and fit,' she laughed. 'Seriously, he's got an eight-pack! So now I have to go walking and stuff.' This blend of relatable humour and down-to-earth charm continues to endear her to a wide audience.
