Sophie Monk 'I WAS IN TEARS!

The TV star opens up about the love connections that left her sobbing

Sparks fly from the very start on the new season of Beauty And The Geek Australia. "There's no pressure on that front - you can be best friends if you want," says host Sophie Monk. "But there's some pretty full-on romance and it happens quickly too.

"There's a couple that you just go, 'It looks like they've been together forever' They're just so strong together." The show sees 10 beauties, including a former NRL cheerleader, a mermaid performer and a Miss Universe finalist, paired up with 10 geeks, including a Harry Potter fanatic, an international Yu-Gi-Oh! champion and a trainspotting train driver, all competing for $100,000.
