After her success at the helm of dating show Love Island, Sophie has been named the host of Channel Nine’s reboot of reality show Beauty & the Geek.

In 2021, the reality show will return to screens on Channel Nine after previously airing on Channel Seven from 2009 to 2014.

The previous incarnation was initially hosted by Bernard Curry before James Tobin took over.

Nine teases it will “deliver laughs, tears and everything in between as two groups of people from completely different worlds are set to collide.”

And this year, things are no doubt set to step up a notch with the producers of Married At First Sight on board.

Love Island is also due to return in 2021, albeit with a location change. Thanks to COVID-19 the show will no longer film overseas and instead will call the Gold Coast home.

There is no word yet as to whether Sophie will also return to host the third season of Love Island, with her name notably absent from the official reveal.

Sophie is no stranger to the reality TV circuit – she got her start way back in 2000 competing on singing talent show Popstars, where she formed girl band Bardot.
