“Once I went and got picked up by a guy and we drove around for ages, went to dinner,” Sophie said on The Bachelorette Instagram. “And then he kidnapped me, he wouldn’t drive me home.”

Turns out it was more of a case of the guy not knowing when to give up.

“We ended up going to a basketball game, the night just wouldn’t end and I couldn’t get home,” Sophie explained.

In the past, Sophie has had her fair share of celebrity partners including Sam Worthington, Jason Statham and Benji Madden.

In a recent promo for the upcoming season of The Bachelorette, the self-confessed “massive bogan” tears up to camera as she talks about wanting to find someone to love her.

“Living in LA for 10 years, I’ve dated actors and rockstars,” Sophie says in the video. “I think they’ve fallen in love with my image, not with me.”

She goes on to admit the roles she has previously played are “quite sexy and promiscuous” many people think she’s like that, but that’s not the case which is “why [she] attracts the wrong guys”.

She admitted she felt as though she put her career before love. Source: Channel 10

“I’m so lucky to do what I do but the one thing you do sacrifice is a really healthy, good relationship,” the star says to camera right before she tears up. “That’s one thing I regret, is I feel like I chose my career and you can’t really have both.”

“I’m just here because I want to find a good man, that I think would be a good father, and just someone that loves me,” she honestly admitted as the star held back the tears.
