She then shot down rumours about the couple planning on having a baby soon, as she said they weren’t actively trying at the stage for a family.

‘I’d love to have a family one day, but we’re not trying yet. You just never know with the timing. I am just going with the flow,’ she added. 

Sophie added that Josh ‘tolerated’ her and her mess during the COVID-19 lockdown period.
