Young businesswoman Sophie Taylor has revealed she suffered agony from a debilitating health condition while competing to win investment from Gordon Ramsay on the chef's Future Food Stars show.
Sophie, 24, had no idea what was causing her painful symptoms during filming of the show. But since then she has been diagnosed with severe irritable bowel syndrome and is working to raise awareness of the condition, the Manchester Evening News reports.
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 Ramsay to help support her business growth in the new series of the show, which launched tonight (Thursday, March 30) on BBC One.
