Sophie Kasaei has revealed she wouldn’t want to date a fellow celebrity as she would rather know ‘what the banter has been on the building site’.
Appearing on Thursday’s Fubar Radio via videolink, the Geordie Shore star, 31, told host Bobby Norris that she wouldn’t want to be romantically involved with someone in the same industry, explaining: ‘I don’t think I could do it. I really don’t. Like, I get that they understand us a little bit more, but I want to go home and talk about their job and their life.’
Suggesting she has her eyes set on a workman, Sophie added: ‘I don’t want to be like, ”So how much did you get paid for that Instagram post?” Or, ”What’s your call time today? What time do you wrap?” Like I don’t want to know about call time or anything. I want to know what the banter has been on the building site.’

The northern beauty also discussed the fact that being in the public eye means it’s difficult to be trusting when it comes to relationships.
‘We struggle to trust people,’ she said. ‘And also you don’t know if they’re with you for the right reasons or the wrong.’
Sophie also told TOWIE’s Bobby that she has met men in the past who struggled to accept that she is the breadwinner in relationships.
‘I think with girls, if we’re a little bit more successful than the person or the boy, their egos are taken away. So when their egos are taken away, it’s like, they don’t want to be with us. Because what can they get from us? Do you know what I mean?’

She added: ‘We don’t need them and they don’t need anything from us. Do you know what I mean? So men like it when they like bring home the money, it’s just like an egotistic thing. And it’s been going on for years.’
Sophie also admitted she had struggled with being single during the pandemic, particularly in the run-up to Valentine’s Day.
‘It’s not like you could go on a date on Valentine’s day or like go out or with your friends,’ the TV star explained.

‘All my other friends were like with their boyfriends and getting presents and showing the love.
‘And it was then I was like sitting in my living room, like on my own and nobody could come and visit us because we were in a full lockdown. And I was like, wow, this is hard. This is really hard.’
She continued: ‘I really doubted myself and I started thinking, ”Is there something wrong with us? Why is everyone settled and I’m not?” And I just really doubted [myself] because I was in my own little bubble.’
Looking on the bright side, Sophie added: ‘I’m at a point now where I’m like, ”You know what? Yes, I’d love a relationship and I’d love a baby, but if the time’s right, it’s right.” So I’ve just got to stay on this path.’

The brunette bombshell also candidly spoke about the pressures she faces having been in the industry for so long, and the expectations others place on her.
‘People have watched me grow up, so they always do go, ”When are you going to settle down? When do you want to have a family?”
‘But the thing is, people have got to be a little bit more sensitive. Like, I’ve got cysts on my ovaries, I don’t know if I can bloody get pregnant.’
However Sophie added that she’s not ready to settle down just yet, and still loves ‘partying until my heart’s content’.
She explained: ‘I am 31 but I’ll tell you what, I still go to Ibiza and party to my heart’s content. I don’t know when I’m ever going to be ready. I don’t feel like you ever do anymore, but I just know that I’ve still got a little bit of partying left.’
Sophie also joked that she would ‘happily’ party with Boris Johnson in Ibiza once restrictions are listed.
After Bobby pointed out that the Prime Minister is soon set to place Ibiza on the green list, Sophie remarked: ‘I’d happily party with him, even though he’s an absolute twat for what he’s done. I’d happily party with him in Ibiza.’
