She's the Aussie bombshell well-known for having her fair share of blonde moments.

But none more blonder than the time Sophie Monk failed to recognise Bill Shorten.

Taking to Instagram, the former Bachelorette, 39, shared a clip of the humiliating moment back in December 2016 while filling in on KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show.

In the hilarious snippet, Sophie mistakes the Opposition leader for a Home and Away star in a prank pulled by her then co-host, Matty Acton.  

Captioning the clip, she wrote: 'Should I run for politics, Bill Shorten?,' as the popular politician pretended to be a Summer Bay star named 'Bruce'.

Sophie, who admits to not keeping up with politics, fell for his claim that he was an actor on the long-running Australian soap and posed questions about his character.
