1. She May Have Suffered From Body Dysmorphia

Sophie famously lost a lot of weight in 2018. “When I look back, I just remember how indulged I used to be with food. My whole life revolved around food, I’d be eating breakfast and thinking about what I was going to have for dinner, I was just food obsessed,” she told Fabulous. “I thought I could eat what I wanted. Looking back, I never ever thought I was big. I had one of those mindsets where I thought I was smaller than I actually was. I don’t know if I had body dysmorphia, but the other way round. I genuinely thought I was a lot smaller. I think that’s probably why I was unhealthy for all those years, because I genuinely thought I was normal.”

2. She Loses Weight When She Cuts Out Takeout

I’ve lost about 10lb during lockdown - that’s in two months, so a pound a week,” she told Fabulous. “That’s just because I’m not eating takeaways and I’m not travelling up and down the country for work, stopping at services for meals. I’ve been cooking really healthy meals for myself.”

Sophie breaks a sweat first thing in the morning. “When I get up, I workout straightaway with my dad for an hour, because that makes me feel great,” she told Fabulous.

4. She Doesn’t Stress About Gaining Weight

“I don’t worry about gaining a couple of pounds, if I do put weight on I know I can easily lose it, because I know exactly how my body works,” Sophie told Fabulous. “If I over indulge, I don’t put myself down about putting weight on. That’s not me at all.”

5. Her Diet Is Healthy

Sophie maintains a healthy diet. “Breakfast is two chicken sausages with scrambled or poached eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and a slice of gluten-free bread. I’m a sucker for a Starbucks sugar-free caramel latte with coconut milk,” she told Closer UK. “For lunch, I’ll always have some sort of seafood – maybe prawns. If I’m out, I’ll get a protein box of chicken, broccoli and eggs, or a soup. I’ll usually end up eating dinner late, around 9pm, which isn’t great as it’ll just sit on my stomach. I’ll have fish, roast vegetables and microwaveable rice. I snack on chicken Fridge Raiders, Quavers, Wotsits or popcorn. I really prefer savoury foods – I think most Northerners do, which is why there’s a Greggs on every corner in Newcastle!”
