Fear of dating
The Morning’s host Rochelle Humes' half-sister told MailOnline that she wants to have a big family and lots of children but she is scared of dating. She confessed to being single right now, even though she attracts tons of admirers due to her model looks. She told the publication:
The thought of dating… It scares me. I tend to put it off so I'm single and working, plus I've put the thought of dating on the back-burner since the pandemic.
The 23-year-old model claimed that she doesn’t see her relationship status changing anytime soon. Stating that the pandemic has made her chances of meeting a life partner even more difficult, she added:
I would love children but obviously, I can't without a boyfriend... I would love a big family, it makes all the celebrations that bit better.
Sophie appeared in the first-ever winter edition of Love Island in 2020 and had a turbulent relationship with Connor Durman. Unfortunately, she was the seventh Islander to get dumped on the show and returned without having found love in the villa.
What is Sophie up to now?
The model from Essex worked as a medical physician's assistant before appearing on the dating show and supported healthcare professionals in caring for patients. During her time on the show, she gained approximately 800,000 Instagram followers and after her exit, she has been working as a model and influencer with brands like Pretty Little Thing, Boux Avenue, and JD Sports.
Connor Durman and Sophie tried to work things out after their journey in the villa, however, that lasted for just six months before their relationship fizzled out. Their relationship ended during the lockdown and she claims to have been single ever since.
