Talking about the incident, Sonya, whose real name is Daria Berenato, told Sky Sports: "During the preliminary taping of the first episode, they asked me if I was in a relationship. I had a girlfriend at the time. Not only was I not expecting that question, I was in a bikini in high heels. I felt so out of my comfort zone when they asked me that question. I thought 'what do I do… well, tell the truth, right?' So I said, yeah, I have a girlfriend, but she's not my wife yet. I got nervous, and they all started smiling. I said, 'oh my god, I just came out on national television.' It truly wasn't planned, but I'm so grateful that it happened."
