Love Island in talks to sign Nottingham beautician Sophie Draper for new cast - reports

As Love Island returns to our screens in the coming weeks, speculation has begun about who will make up this year's group of singletons. It has been reported that one potential villa resident could be a beautician with a very famous footballer ex-boyfriend.

ITV2 bosses are said to be interested in signing Sophie Draper, 22, for the latest series of the award-winning TV show and have already met up with the beautician ahead of selecting this summer's singletons. Sophie owns beauticians in West Bridgeford called Sophie Draper Beauty.

Sophie was in a relationship with Aston Villa right-back Matty Cash, 24, for four years before their surprise split last year. Sophie has a strong following on social media of just under 20,000 followers.
