My Kitchen Rules diva Sophie Pou vows to show her playful side when she steps out in Dancing With The Stars Dancing With The Stars rookie Sophia Pho with her My Kitchen Rules bestie Ashlee Pham. MY Kitchen Rules' eye-rolling, scene-stealing and venom-splashing gatecrasher, Sophia Pou is about to hit the dance floor in this year's season of Dancing With The Stars. With bestie Ashlee Pham in tow, the 29-year-old communications student from Cabramatta was one half of the most polarising domestic cooking duos on TV. The camera loved them, the ratings rose as supremely as a sponge in the Great Australian Bake Off and some of the contestants almost hid under their kitchen benchtops in abject horror. "My dog eats better than this" and "It was like eating a slug" were just some of her critiques. Bitchy, immaculately presented and with a perfect, deadpan delivery - it is no surprise that viewers (myself included) thought at first that they were a couple of actors, sent in to liven things up. But no, now it seems that the two BFFs, who had known each other since kindergarten, had simply decided that the celebrity life looked a lot more appealing than their day jobs. And while some former contestants tried to further their careers in the food industry, Pou just basically wanted to get on to another reality show. "I tried to get onto everything from The Bachelor to Please Marry My Boy and Beauty and the Geek," agreed the attractive, single woman, who said one her ambitions had been to appear as a men's model in FHM. She has also made no secret of the fact that she wants to date Kyle Sandilands. "But it wasn't reciprocated," she lamented, "I think he is already taken." Nevertheless, when she finally got the call to come on Dancing With The Stars she thought that it must be a joke. Delta sings the love-life blues Kerr's gone from great to grate "I can't dance, I have two left feet," she protested, while frantically packing her bags for the DWTS studios in Melbourne. Try and stop her from going on the show. It certainly won't be an easy run, with her dance partner Michael Miziner about to become a father, with his wife Rachael Finch (whom he met on the show), ready to deliver their first child. "We're just going to forge ahead and see what happens," Pou said. But she says they bonded immediately, thanks to the stars. Michael and I had an instant connection. We are both Aquarians born on the same day in the same year. We totally get each other's loopiness. Meanwhile, Pou's favourite line is that if Pauline Hanson can make it, so can she (though admittedly it seems wrong on so many levels that she should be citing Hanson). Pou will be doing her best to ensure she keeps viewers glued to their sets to see what she says or does next. She has already posted shots on her Whenbellametbee Instagram page of herself collapsed on the floor of her Melbourne hotel room after a hard day of rehearsing with Miziner, as well as pigging out on room service in a bid to keep her strength up. It is hard to know who will cop it if she decides to unleash on the show. Will it be the other contestants or some of the judges, including the often-catty Todd McKenney, who can no doubt match her for bitchiness? Or, heaven help her, will it be the newbie on the judging panel, the professional dancer Kym Johnson, who has won the Aussie version of DWTS once, with Tom Williams, and twice in the US with no less than Donny Osmond and football player Hines Ward. Pou thinks I am being a bit harsh and says she is just going on the show so viewers will see a different side to her. "I think I can be a bit more playful than I was on My Kitchen Rules and have more fun," she explained. According to Michael, people watch this show to basically see some great dancing. They want plenty of oh my God moments. Perhaps no one is better placed to provide those moments than you, Pou.
