Sophie is feisty and cockney born and bred in the East End of London. She has gypsy roots and was brought up around the gypsy community and describes her granddad as a “gypsy gangster”. She classes herself as a bit of a tomboy and “not a bimbo” as she follows football and kickboxing.

Although she is a dental nurse she hates working and is a self-confessed, spoilt daddy’s girl. She is close to her mum too – the family are all very loud and “in each other’s faces”. Her dad owns a scrap yard which is a family business where her granddad, uncle and cousins all work. When she was younger she would go ‘scrapping’ with her dad, which involved picking up and finding pieces of scrap and metal.

Sophie is a black belt in karate but she doesn’t train anymore because she got bored of it. She says this is typical of her as she often gets bored of things easily and moves on to the next thing. She says that her best trait is that she is funny and is happy to take the “p*ss out of herself”. She doesn’t take life to seriously; “I have webbed feet and I’m always joking about them. You have to laugh at yourself”! Her friends would describe has as a ‘pusher’ because she is always winding them up and pushing them to do things that they don’t want to do. She hates bitchy people but says “I’ll get on with anyone who gets on with me!”

Sophie admits that her worst trait is that she can have a temper. “Sometimes I can be a bit lary. I don’t mean to be but I don’t like it when people take the p*ss out of me”. Sophie doesn’t consider herself to be religious although she was christened. “My family are really religious but I don’t do any of that bible-bashing stuff”.

Sophie hates being a dental nurse; “I can’t stand seeing the same old teeth every day. I hate it”. Sophie aims to have a change of career after Big Brother.
