Among the collection of pictures, Sophie joked around with fellow former islander Samie Elishi – both wearing baseball caps that declared: "No crying on the yacht".
Drinking wine and sharing a giggle, the girls seemed to be leaving their cares back on land in the pics from their most recent getaway.
She simply captioned the pic: "suite life ⚓️"
Sophie and Samie jetted off to Greece two weeks ago, spending time on a yacht in Mykonos chartered by make-up brand, Nars.
But while she may be back in the UK, the star is clearly still missing the sun and the sea with the new pictures.
Sophie truly has been living the sweet life over the past year and a half, after falling in love on Love Island when she returned All Stars back in January 2024.
The sister of Rochelle Humes, Sophie was noted for looking the spitting image of her step-sibling when she first appeared on the sixth series back in 2020.
Re-entering the show as a bombshell for All Stars, she met and fell in love with Josh Ritchie, who first appeared on the first series of the rebooted reality competition.
At the time, fans were surprised by their connection, with Josh's 'playboy' reputation becoming infamous thanks to a stint on Geordie Shore, Ex On The Beach and Celebs Go Dating.
But despite this, the pair came third and are still going strong today, with the couple even heading on their own string of romantic getaways.

While they were rumoured to have split in August last year, the pair put to bed the speculation and continue to share loved up pics together.
In May, she shared a gushing tribute to him for his birthday, telling him: "You make my world brighter, my heart fuller and my life better."

Young man, 29, left 'traumatised' after 'quick trip' to the doctor overseas takes a brutal and terrifying turn: 'I need to get home urgently'
A popular UK adventurer, who previously lost his leg in a motorbike accident, has now experienced a devastating new setback after a bizarre hospital incident. Luke Tarrant quit his job as an investment banker in 2023 to embark on a motorbike voyage across the US and Antarctica. But only eight months into the trip of a lifetime, Luke's plan came crashing down in South America when he suffered a life-changing motorbike accident in Colombia. In May 2024, doctors confirmed that in addition to suffering numerous significant injuries, Luke's left leg was 'dead' and needed to be amputated. But instead of letting the loss of his leg become a setback, Luke has since gone on to inspire his enormous 500,000 Instagram following with his positive attitude and continued zest for adventure. Luke's latest goal was to climb one of the highest peaks ever attempted by a person with disabilities - by scaling a mountain more than 5000m high in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia. But all of that changed this week. The typically upbeat man took to his social media account to share a sombre and devastating health update. 'I'm gutted, traumatised and honestly just fed up,' he wrote in a caption alongside a video. Just days out from his ascent, which he'd planned to begin on August 22, Luke said he noticed a fluid build-up around the area where his leg had been amputated. Under the advice of his usual medical team back at home, it was recommended that Luke attend a hospital in Kyrgyzstan to have the cyst examined and drained by a doctor. But according to Luke, what should have been a simple fluid drainage procedure became a brutal act that defied explanation. 'I'm honestly completely traumatised,' Luke said in the video. 'Basically, I had an abscess in my leg or a slight inflammation. And I was advised by people in the UK that it was worth getting some fluid taken out of it.' Luke recounted attending the unnamed hospital and speaking to some of their English speaking medical staff. He claimed he was at pains to explain that he didn't want to do 'anything big' and just wanted them to use a 'small needle to get a bit of fluid out' before he commenced the climb. A heartbreaking video shared by Luke on August 13 saw him detail how his planned mountain climb in Kyrgyzstan had been derailed. A 'gutted' Luke alleged that a routine fluid drainage procedure in hospital was mishandled Despite the assurance that the medical staff understood his request, Luke alleged that what happened next was 'traumatising'. 'The doctor comes out and he's prodding around, prodding around,' Luke recalled. 'He gets a scalpel, he cuts right down my leg in front of me while I'm just there awake in my wheelchair.' By this point, Luke was demanding to know what was going on - all while the doctor was opening the wound with forceps. 'I'm like, "Please stop this". They're all speaking to each other in Russian. No one's telling me what's going on,' he said. 'Next thing I know, he's getting some tweezer things and he's pulling bits out and he's like digging around and cutting. I'm in absolute agony. I'm like asking him to stop. 'I'm now looking down [and] I can see the bone in my leg.' By this point, Luke recalled that he was 'in complete agony and shock'. 'I've gone pale. I'm trying not to pass out.' The disability advocate claimed the ordeal lasted 25 minutes and by the end of it there was 'a massive gaping wound in my leg.' After the procedure, Luke said he proceeded to inform his stunned doctors back at home. '[T]hey were like, "It's absolutely insane what they've done to you. You're a massive risk of infection",' he recalled. They advised Luke against completing the planned trek or even wearing his prosthetic. 'I'm no longer climbing the mountain. It was meant to be a world first for people with disability and it's just turned into this,' a downcast Luke confirmed. Luke had planned to complete the trek alongside former professional rugby player Ed Jackson, with the pair raising money for the charity Millimetres 2 Mountains. The video concluded with Luke saying that he was now urgently flying home to the UK to go to hospital. A subsequent update post showed pictures of Luke in hospital in his home country – but unfortunately the news wasn't great. '[T]he wound is down to the bone and infected,' he revealed. 'They did a procedure to clean it which was agony and may need to operate next week,' he continued. 'Worst case if it spreads to the bone, will need to have my knee chopped off… best case is weeks off my prosthetic in the wheelchair. 'They said what the guy did to me in Kyrgyzstan medically is insane,' he wrote, before concluding with a thank you message for all the 'support' from his followers. The subdued video and update posts were a marked change to Luke's normally upbeat and positive attitude. Accordingly, his fan base was quick to rally around him, offering not only thousands of likes on his Instagram posts, but also inspiring messages of support, encouragement, and resilience. 'Luke. This is part of your journey. It's not the one you asked for, but it's the one you got,' read the start of a lengthy message. 'A year from now you'll be on the top of that mountain despite all circumstances and you'll discover that it was never about the mountain. YOU are the mountain. You got this. You'll see,' the message concluded. 'Yours was never going to be a straightforward comeback story,' commented another person. 'But you eat setbacks for breakfast and there'll be bigger adventurers and more world firsts waiting.' 'Your sad face honestly breaks my heart, Luke! I'm SO sorry you're going through this nightmare,' read the start of another longer reply. 'Time to focus on your recovery, trying to be as positive as you can. You did it once, you can do it again,' they added. 'You're our mentality monster pal, life throws you speed bumps so you can show us how it's done,' explained another inspirational response. 'It's a hefty burden you carry, especially with only one leg, but you're doing a better job than any of us could have imagined despite all the odds. That's why we all find you so inspiring,' the reply continued. 'This is the real work, disappointment and readjustment is much harder to cope with than any mountain. You got this.'

Kelly Clarkson cancels Texas concert appearance days after ex-husband Brandon Blackstock's shock death
Kelly Clarkson has canceled her upcoming appearance at the Band Together Texas fundraising concert following the death of her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. The 43-year-old singer — who was not mentioned in the former talent manager's obituary — was slated to hit the stage at the event on August 17 to raise money for those affected by the deadly July floods. While the mom-of-two did not share the news herself, the announcement was made on the event's Instagram stories on Tuesday. 'Unfortunately, Kelly Clarkson will be unable to appear at Band Together Texas as planned, due to personal circumstances,' the since-expired post read. 'We send out love to Kelly and her family,' the statement concluded. The benefit concert — which is being put on by both Miranda Lambert and Parker McCollum — will be held in Austin at the Moody Center. Lambert and McCollum are also set to perform as well as other music artists such as Ryan Bingham, Wade Bowen, Jack Ingram, Cody Johnson, Lukas Nelson, Jon Randall and Randy Rogers Band. The event 'aims to rally critical support for flood-impacted communities and their ongoing needs as they recover and rebuild,' per the official website. Clarkson's ex-husband passed away at the age of 48 on August 7 following a three-year battle with melanoma. The former couple were married from 2013 until their divorce was finalized in 2022. They also welcomed two children together: Remington, 11, and River, nine. He was also father to Savannah, 23, and Seth, 18, whom he welcomed with first wife Melissa Ashworth — who recently broke her silence on his death. But Clarkson was not mentioned in Blackstock's obit which was released on Tuesday by Butte Funeral Home. Other relatives were listed in the obit such as his four children, grandchildren, grandparents and stepparents — which includes former stepmom Reba McEntire. The obit notably included the bombshell revelation that Blackstock had been in a relationship with Clarkson's past assistant leading up to his death. Clarkson and Blackstock first met in 2006 but didn't begin dating until six years later in 2012. The following year, the pair tied the knot during a ceremony that was held at Blackberry Farms in Tennessee. But in June 2020, the talk show host filed for divorce and cited the reason for the split as 'irreconcilable differences.' The divorce was finalized two years later. 'I think the thing about divorce — especially having it publicized, and people thinking they know the whole thing — the hardest part of that is, like, it wasn't an overnight decision,' Clarkson said on Angie Martinez's IRL podcast in 2023. 'I wanted to make it beautiful. I wanted to make it awesome. I wanted to make it everything it possibly could be, and sometimes that just doesn't happen.' She also sued her ex-husband last year after accusing him of making unauthorized business deals on her behalf. They settled their lawsuits over commissions in May 2024, ending a contentious legal battle that began after their divorce was finalized two years earlier. Last week, one day before Blackstock's passing was announced, Clarkson took to Instagram to announce the postponement of the remainder of her Las Vegas residency concerts for August. The following day, a rep for the family said in a statement: 'It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away. 'Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family.' The statement concluded with, 'We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time.' Before his marriage to Clarkson, Blackstock had tied the knot with his first wife Melissa Ashworth in 1999 until their divorce in 2012. The obit released on Tuesday also revealed that the former talent manager had a 'loving partner' before his death. He had been in a relationship with Brittney Marie Jones and the pair had been living a private life in the state of Montana. The obit also included: 'After more than 20 years in the music business, Brandon found his way back to the mountains and the cowboy way of life he always wanted to live. He found a homestead and a love in Butte, Montana. 'Brandon, along with his beautiful and loving partner in life and business, Brittney Marie Jones, started building a life, building companies, and working tirelessly to create Headwaters Livestock Auction and what will live on as his legacy, The Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana.' Jones had been a former assistant to Clarkson, per a prior LinkedIn profile, and was also an executive assistant to Blackstock. Jones' father has since broken silence on Blackstock's passing and called the former talent manager and his daughter 'soulmates.' 'Yesterday we lost a good man, Brandon Blackstock, my daughter's soulmate, and I considered him my son,' her father wrote in a now private post on Facebook, per Page Six. 'My sincere condolences to Brittney Jones and family. We're sure going to miss your funny humor. R.I.P hoss!' Other tributes have since flooded in to remember Blackstock as they mourn his loss, such as his first wife and son Seth. Reba McEntire's son Shelby shared a heartbreaking post in honor of his late half-brother. Blackstock was the son of Narvel Blackstock and Elisa Gayle Ritter. Narvel was later married to Reba from 1989 through 2015 — and they welcomed son Shelby together. The race car driver penned an emotional tribute to Blackstock late last week alongside an assortment of throwback photos. He also opened up about the 'tremendous loss our family has endured' and called Blackstock an 'irreplaceable part of our family.' McEntire broke her silence on his passing by penning a message in the comment section of her son's post. 'Very well said Shelby. Yes we will miss him so much,' she wrote along with red and broken heart emojis.

Britney Spears suffers double nip-slip in peekaboo dress as fans rage over Kevin Federline's 'cash grab'
Britney Spears posted another one of her trademark scantily-clad dance videos on Tuesday - this time with a saucy twist. The 43-year-old was wearing a revealing gold minidress with a wide peekaboo section that flashed her amply endowed cleavage. Unfortunately the gap was so broad that Britney found herself repeatedly suffering nip slips, sometimes on both sides simultaneously. She was cheerfully undeterred by her wardrobe malfunctions, continuing to dance and grinning mischievously at the camera. However she made sure to use tiny sunflower emoji to ensure she refrained from violating the Instagram Community Guidelines involving nudity. The video comes after her fans slammed her ex-husband Kevin Federline over his announcement he is penning a tell-all about her called You Thought You Knew. Federline, 47, irritated loyal Britney supporters as he promised in a news release his book would reveal 'extremely intimate and transparent' details about their 'highly publicized marriage.' Federline said of his upcoming book, 'I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced non-stop emotional turbulence.' Federline, who was wed to Britney from 2004 thru 2007, added that 'if you've ever had questions, you'll find answers here.' But loyal supporters of the ...Baby One More Time songstress - who shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden, 18, with Federline - weren't interested in the book, which is slated to be released October 21. Daily Mail has reached out to Federline via Instagram for comment on the backlash to the release of the forthcoming book. Fans of Spears took exception with Federline for rehashing his past with the Womanizer artist in what they felt was a blatant cash grab. 'So, no one would buy his story, so he thinks people want to hear him read his notes app life story?' asked one user, while another said, 'Damn, he REALLY needs money!' Said one Reddit user: 'That child support dried up realllllll quick,' while another chimed in, 'His timing tells you everything.' The 43-year-old was wearing a revealing gold minidress with a wide peekaboo section that flashed her amply endowed cleavage One user on X referenced another of the Lucky singer's famous exes in slamming Federline. 'Instead of writing fanfiction novels he should go back and tour with Justin Timberlake so they can both cry endless rivers,' the user said. 'It's tiring.' One Reddit user added, 'I suggest on his release date, let's all buy a copy of Britney's book and get her back on the charts.' In addition to his sons with the Oops!... I Did It Again vocalist, Federline is father to daughter Kori, 23, and son Kaleb, 21, with actress Shar Jackson, 48. He is also father to daughters Jordan, 13, and Peyton, nine, with his wife, former volleyball player Victoria Prince, 42. One X user said of Federline's ties to show business: 'He was a dancer, knocked up 2 celebrities, abandoned the 1st one and their kids while she was still pregnant then married the more famous one and took her kids for the child support money.' According to the news release, 'The public unraveling of Britney's life and the constant attention around their family forced Kevin to balance being a father with being a protector.' Some fans expressed concern Britney could be emotionally impacted for the worse with her ex-husband bringing their past dirty laundry back into the public consciousness. 'Ah great…another person reopening her wounds and bringing more judgement her way,' a Britney fan said. A Reddit user noted, 'Britney has been through enough. Now this? My heart goes out to her and I hope she slams him.' One Britney fan referred to the 2022 book penned by her sister Jamie Lynn Spears, Things I Should Have Said. 'Guess he didn't see what happens when Jamie Lynn attempted to mooch off Britney w her book,' the fan said. Federline in the book also will detail his time as a dancer for Michael Jackson, Destiny's Child and Pink, according to the news release.
