In her Big Brother promo, Sophie also opened up about her tragic past.
‘I was an elite athlete at the age of 13. I was training for the Olympics in London and then two months before departure, I fractured my back,’ she said.
‘It was all over. I was out of the sport overnight. When I stopped training I felt empty, gymnastics was my whole life.’
