Monique was introduced during a Hungry for Love singles night, where she met Lionel Skeggins. She worked in the beauty business and was also studying law and literature.
While her relationship with Lionel fizzled out, she eventually dated Peter. Soon after, at a stand-up comedy event at Kennedy’s, Monique showed Lionel her passport while he was preparing to travel to visit Kirsty. Peter happened to see it and was shocked to learn that Monique had previously lived as a man. When it came time for Peter’s performance, he froze before blurting out the revelation to the audience, then turned it into part of his routine with a series of crude jokes.
To the surprise of everyone present, Monique took it in stride and laughed along. Peter went on to win the competition, a cruise for two, which he chose to share with Monique.
