Whether you call him father, pops, papa or just plain dad, Sunday 1st September was the day to honour some of the special men in our life.
And whether it was with a family meal or a sweet throwback, there were plenty of famous Aussies celebrating Father’s Day.
Take Sophie Monk for example. The Love Island host loves taking to Instagram with her beloved dad Mr Monk to make a hilarious video so of course they’d have to do something for Father’s Day.
This year, Sophie shared a compilation of her favourite clips featuring her dad ranging from his attempt at getting his legs behind his head to his interpretation of iconic meme Salt Bae.
Check out the video below.
But of course, she wasn’t the only one.
From new dads like The Bachelor‘s Matty J through to doting dads and grandfathers like Fifi Box’s, plenty of dads were out celebrating.
