Sophie Taylor is aiming to break a taboo and help others after discovering that she has a debilitating health condition while filming a new Gordon Ramsay series. The young entrepreneur is a contestant on series two of Gordon Ramsey’s Future Food Stars on BBC One.
Sophie, the founder of Sophie’s Iced Coffee, a range of ready-to-drink dairy-free iced coffees, is one of 12 contestants competing to win a £150,000 business investment from TV chef and restaurateur Gordon Ramsay to help support her business growth.
After suffering symptoms while filming the series last June, Sophie was diagnosed with severe IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome), a condition that affects the digestive system which massively impacted her time on the show. IBS, for which as yet there's no cure and no exact cause known, affects one in five people and two thirds of the people affected are women.
