“I truly believe that Sophie does want to find someone, I really do believe that,” she told the Schmunday Show.

Georgia, who also admitted she is a “hopeless romantic,” found love with her partner Lee Elliott on the Channel 10 program last year.

“She has been unlucky in love, very publicly,” Love added. “Why can’t she have the same go as everyone else?”

Since it was revealed that Sophie would be following in Georgia’s footsteps, the 37-year-old definitely hasn’t been shy about what she’s looking for in her new man.
