The former Love Island contestant was in London for a Love Island screening when she admitted that her fellow Island pals are definitely getting raunchy
Former Love Island star Sophie Piper has hinted that the islanders are secretly doing the dirty away from the cameras.
The 21-year-old former medical PA admitted that couples in the South African villa were “doing bits” when the cameras were turned.
The stunning reality star was speaking to The Sun Online during a screening of the show at BOXPARK when she made the shock admission.
“I feel like there was definitely bits going on! Definitely. Not between me and Connor, no way!” she told the publication, reminding fans that her appearance was strictly PG.
“There's talk of the breakfast club at the moment, so I think there's definitely some bits being done in there for sure!” Sophie continued.
During the night she also appeared to not be the biggest fan of remaining islander Mike.

“How the hell is Mike still there guys, he has nine lives I swear! I just think it’s madness since I left really!” she shouted into the mic at the event at one point.
As well as revealing the villa’s top secrets since being sent packing from the villa, the brunette has also remained in contact with her beau Connor - despite living some distance away from each other.
What’s more, in what might be her first big break since the Winter Love Island season, the Essex-born model is also rumoured to be the first ‘confirmed’ contestant to join the I’m A Celebrity 2020 cast.

Dressed in blue hospital gowns, David and Sally Abel manage to keep smiling even as they undergo treatment for coronavirus in Japan.
The married British pair caught it on the Diamond Princess cruise ship, where 542 cases have been reported, on what should have been a trip of a lifetime.
David, 74, shared an update online, describing their trip to hospital and saying: “I nearly passed out.”
It came after the pair, from Daventry, Northamptonshire, were quarantined in their cabin for two weeks. They will not be on the government-chartered flight back to the UK on Friday.

First meal in 18 hours. Being diabetic and dairy intolerant, there is nothing here I can eat. They have since brought me four bread rolls & butter.
It is going to be tough on rationed food, and with no alcohol!
No services onboard the ship now. How the crew are going to cope with this beats me.
We are out at sea now converting sea water into drinking water.

Wednesday February 19 – Miscommunication
Massive communication error yesterday. The Japanese quarantine officials do not speak English. They told us to be ready to be taken to the hostel. My mindset was “virus” and said “positive then”. He nodded. I don’t think he was saying yes to the virus but positive we were moving out?? He said it will probably be 4 or 5 days. You would not say that to a virus victim.

Two doctors came to our door. We are both positive. We’re going to a hostel because there isn’t a hospital bed. In 4/5 days we’ll be put into a hospital.
Thursday February 20 – Taken to hospital
We arrived in lovely hospital a couple of hours ago. Taken by ambulance blues & twos. Outside the hospital I came over weird and nearly passed out. Every pore on my body opened and I was wheelchaired to our room.

Disgraced ex-MP Fiona Onasanya opens up about her time in prison in her new book
Disgraced ex-MP Fiona Onasanya has written a book in which she reveals how she coped with being in prison after she was found guilty of perverting the course of justice, to avoid being charged for speeding.
After serving less than one month of a three-month sentence, she became the first MP to be removed by constituents after a successful recall petition.
She has now rebranded herself as a motivational speaker, and has released a 122 page memoir (titled Snakes & Adders: A Set Up for the Step Up) telling her side of the story.
Ms Onasanya, who was a solicitor before entering politics, gives a candid account of her life inside.
She confesses to a police officer that she takes spice "all the time" because she naively thinks they're referring to seasoning rather than the drug.
When she asks for almond milk with her prison breakfast cereal the one-time MP gets told "this ain't Costa".
While she assumes prisoners are referring to security company G4S when they're referring to inmates who are "gay for the stay".
This is the relevant passage:
I think it was over lunch when I was asked what I thought about G4S. "Well I think public and private should be kept separate, intermingling the two sectors causes profit to take precedence over people I feel."
The lady looked at me absolutely baffled, "What are you on about?" "G4S" I reply, "like Serco and Sodexo, I know it says HMP but the prisons are run by private companies." A roar of laughter erupted; "Nah babes, G4S is Gay 4 the Stay." If I could have gone red, I'm sure I would have! "Ohhh, No I'm not" "So you're strictly?" Now given my G4S blunder I didn't want to make any assumptions about what "strictly" mean. "What's strictly as the only strictly I have heard of is the dancing competition" "Strictly dickly" came the reply.
Her stories show the light-hearted side of prison including seeing a naked inmate dancing outside the shower room to annoy the guards, and having to eat a tin of spaghetti hoops for a meal.
The book also reveals some of her strange habits including regularly crunching a glass full of ice cubes.
Fiona describes sending her application to become Labour's candidate for mayor of the combined authority from a bar, "whilst waiting for my mandatory cup of ice to crunch alongside my drink".
On three separate occasions in the book, she brings up her habit of r ordering cups of ice so she can crunch them.
We also learn that after leaving prison she asked her mum to take her somewhere she can get a cup of ice showing what she had clearly missed while inside.

Tobias Rathjen, who wanted 'exterminate' certain races, shot dead 10 people in Hanau, Germany, before returning home and killing both himself and his mother
The far-right terrorist who shot dead 10 people including his mum in a gun rampage in Germany was a deranged racist who ranted about wiping out entire nations.
Tobias Rathjen killed nine people of “migrant backgrounds”, including five Turkish nationals, and injured six more in Hanau, near Frankfurt, on Wednesday night.
He then returned home and killed his 72-year-old mother before turning the gun on himself.
The former bank clerk left a letter and video in which he said he could “imagine halving the population”.
He said he wanted to get rid of most of the Middle East, some Asian nations, North Africa, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Germans he considered “impure”.

The video, now removed from YouTube, included furious rants about Arab and Turkish immigrants and reportedly called for the “complete extermination” of many “races or cultures in our midst”.
Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel condemned the attack, which she said was motivated by the “poison” of racism that was to blame for “too many crimes”.
The atrocity has sparked fears of more European right-wing terror attacks as racist and anti-Islamic extremism soars.

Rathjen was believed to have acted alone, but police and Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service were trying to track down any links he may have had to a growing number of European far-right groups.
Scotland Yard’s Counter Terror Command and officers within MI5 were monitoring the investigation in case of any links to the UK.

Police followed a car leaving the scene of one shooting to its owner’s address, where they found Rathjen’s body and that of his mother.
Last night thousands held an emotional vigil in Hanau’s main square, near the Midnight bar.
Paramedics had to help one woman as she broke down in tears and lay slumped against a wall. German President Frank Walter Steinmeier joined local politicians and religious leaders, including an imam from one of the town’s mosques, to address the crowd. Metin Unvar, father of victim Ferhat Unvar, had to be led away by family members after standing on stage with the dignitaries.
There were loud chants of “Nazis out” and “fascists out” and many waved flags representing anti-fascist organisations.
