Sophie Anderton (born May 14 1977, in Bristol) is an English lingerie model and television personality.
Biography
Anderton attended Redland High School for Girls in Bristol between 1988 & 1993, and, albeit briefly, Bristol Cathedral School in 1993. After school she developed a career as a model, and became famous after a prominent advertising campaign modelling Gossard bras.
Her career since has been largely quiet, with more photographic shoots and glamour, less catwalk. However, she has received coverage mainly due to the tabloid press who have documented her party lifestyle, including: a self-confessed night as a "high-class" call girl ; love affairs (particularly with footballer Mark Bosnich); a cocaine addiction that lasted ten years.
Anderton traces her cocaine addiction back to when she was prescribed morphine after a car accident as a childhttp://www.biogs.com/loveisland/anderton.html. However, after being derided for her self-centred approach and variable/unstable emotions on ITV's Love Island in Summer 2006, she was diagnosed and treated for Bipolar disorder .
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 magazine
*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
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, however 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 22 September, 2006, and announced that she was about to star in a new TV series. The series was later announced as Sky One's ''url = http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006520693,00.html |title = Model Sophie is highly strung |work = Cirque de Celebrit?publisher = The Sun |date = [[2006-11-13 |}}, but had to quit after she sustained ligament damage.
Relationships
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
After an early period in her modelling career as muse to the designer Scott Henshall, she dated and lived with footballer Mark Bosnich, before the couple broke up over drug taking problems. She was then engaged to nightclub owner Mark Alexiou, but that broke up soon after her call-girl confession
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
