Sophie Anderton (born May 14 1977, in Bristol) is an English lingerie model and reality television personality.
Biography
Anderton attended Redland High School for Girls in Bristol between 1988 & 1993. During this time she sustained serious injuries in a road accident necessitating some 18 operations from which she took 3 years to recover. In 1993 she briefly attended Bristol Cathedral School. After school she developed a career as a model, and became famous in 1999 after appearing in revealing underwear for the provocative Gossard Glossies "Girl in the grass" advertising campaign shot by Herb Ritz, with the strapline "Who said a woman couldn't get pleasure from something soft ?".[1] [1]
The tabloid press have documented her party lifestyle, including a self-confessed night as a "high-class" call girl,[1] love affairs (particularly with footballer Mark Bosnich) and a cocaine addiction that lasted ten years.
Anderton traces her cocaine addiction back to when she was prescribed morphine after her car accident as a child[1]. In 2006, she was diagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder [1].
Anderton's return from "Celebrity Love Island" has resulted in an increase in modelling and promotional work, including:
- Successfully completed the Flora London Marathon.
- British Berries summer fruits campaign 2006 - she posed with various fruits in a suggestive manner. Sales of strawberries and raspberries have hit a record £240 million since the campaign was launched.
- Appeared on the July edition of Maxim.
- Promoting breast cancer awareness in a promo with Peacocks stores.
- In November 2006 announced as the face of La Senza's Christmas collection.
Reality TV
In 2004 Anderton was a contestant on the fourth series of ITV's I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, where she came fifth and was remembered for having a disagreement with the singer Natalie Appleton. [1]
She has also taken part in Simply the Best and a celebrity edition of the UK version of Fear Factor. In 2005 she appeared in the programme Cold Turkey which followed her attempts to quit smoking cigarettes alongside Tara Palmer Tomkinson. She later became the face of the SOS Instant Quit Programme which consists of a mouth spray which makes smokers feel sick at the smell and taste of cigarette smoke. She has since resumed the habit.
In 2006 Anderton was a contestant on the second series of ITV's Love Island in Summer 2006. Known as Me-Me by the show's presenters, Fearne Cotton and Patrick Kielty, she was covered extensively in the press as being emotionally unstable, crying relentlessly and being highly self-absorbed. She fell out with friend Lady Victoria Hervey, after Anderton transferred her affections from ex-boyband member Shane Lynch to Hervey's island interest Chris Brosnan. After a long discussion expressing how upset she was with her former friend's behaviour, Hervey then poured a bottle of wine over Anderton's head. In a task Sophie guessed that Ayers Rock is in Canada and the Falkland Islands are in Europe. Anderton was evicted from Love Island on 25 August.
Anderton appeared on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on the September 22, 2006, and announced that she was about to star in a new TV series. The series was later announced as Sky One's Cirque de Celebrité[1], but had to quit after she sustained ligament damage.[1]
Relationships
At the age of 19 she started seeing millionaire Robert Hanson, 17 years her senior, who introduced her to a world of royalty, private jets, glitz and glamour. The relationship lasted 4 years
Matt Graham, a previous boyfriend, told the press: "I was trapped in a nightmare relationship with the girl. It was simply two years of hell. The sex was amazing, really steamy, some of the best I've ever had. But it wasn't worth having to put up with all her emotional baggage." Graham said that Anderton had lesbian sex behind his back and boasted that the best sex she'd ever had was with a woman.[1]
After an early period in her modelling career as muse to the designer Scott Henshall, from 2002 to 2004 she had a tumultuous relationship with the footballer Mark Bosnich, before leaving him due to a cycle of drug taking and violence. In 2004 she met and was subsequently engaged to nightclub owner Mark Alexiou, but the relationship broke up soon after her call-girl confession.[1]
After returning from Fiji for Love Island, it was reported in the Sunday Mirror's showbiz section "Radar" in September 2006 that she was dating Crystal Palace F.C. chairman Simon Jordan. [1] [1] The relationship quickly broke up.
