Welcome to TV Central: One on One
Today, we’re thrilled to be joined by the one and only Sophie Monk, as we dive into the heart of Australia’s reality TV scene!
Sophie’s back to host Season 6 of Love Island Australia, where romance and heartbreak collide as the hottest singles step into a luxurious villa in Spain. With years of experience on Australian TV— from her time on Celebrity Apprentice to her own search for love on The Bachelorette—Sophie is an expert on navigating the highs and lows of reality TV.
Outside of Love Island, Sophie’s presence is everywhere. She’s a regular on The Hundred with Andy Lee, recently married Joshua Gross in 2022, and will appear as a celebrity guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
