Love Island's Sophie Piper sends temperatures soaring as she puts on a busty display in a skimpy green bikini during boat trip
Sophie Piper showed off her jaw-dropping figure during a lavish boat trip in a picturesque location on Tuesday. The former Love Island star, 24, put on a busty display in a tiny green metallic bikini top, teamed with matching bottoms. Sophie's long brunette locks were styled in beach waves as she struck a sultry pose for the camera. Sophie was joined by pal and fellow Love Island star Samie Elishi, who also looked incredible in a stylish green ensemble. Sophie, the sister of Rochelle Humes, found fame on the sixth series of Love Island, and the first winter series, while Samie appeared on series nine. Sophie is in a relationship with Love Island series one alum Josh Ritchie whom she finished All Stars with in third place in February 2024. The sizzling new Instagram post comes just days after she stepped out with sister Rochelle at the launch of Space NK's new Oxford Street store in London. Sophie flashed her toned abs in a white vest and low-rise jeans, while completing the look with trainers and silver jewellery. Meanwhile, Rochelle opted for a black mesh top and a blazer, teamed with white trousers and sandals. The TV presenter's outing comes after her return from Ibiza with her husband Marvin, where they spent time with JLS' former tour manager Graham Quinn. Rochelle's pictures with Graham raised eyebrows after he found himself back in the public eye last week after his ex Myleene accused him of cheating on her with an unknown celebrity - at her own birthday party. Myleene claimed she walked in on him taking the clothes off an unnamed star who has built a brand on her 'family values' and i t appears Rochelle and Marvin showed their support for Graham despite the claims as they enjoyed a trip together. Fans are also convinced that Rochelle has fallen out with fellow Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge after she shared a cryptic video on TikTok saying 'you're dead to me'. People rushed to the comments to speculate whether she could be talking about Rochelle after they were reported to have snubbed one another at Wimbledon. The sizzling new post comes just days after she stepped out with sister Rochelle at the launch of Space NK's new Oxford Street store in London The former bandmates became friends in childhood, both finding fame in S Club Juniors before joining Rochelle Humes, Una Healy, Mollie King and Vanessa White in The Saturdays. Yet in recent months, their relationship is said to have soured, with the pair reportedly snubbing each other when they attended Wimbledon last month. The pair were both pictured enjoying the hospitality at the tennis tournament but it is said they kept their interactions to a minimum. An onlooker claimed: 'It was clear the women were keeping their distance. They sat on opposite sides of the suite and kept to themselves.' They added to The Sun: 'While Frankie posed for pictures with S Club's Rachel Stevens, Rochelle took selfies with her husband Marvin and his I'm A Celebrity campmate Sam Thompson. 'Even though they were pleasant to each other when they did brush shoulders, they didn't spend any extra time together than they had to, in between being amicable while passing each other en route to watch the tennis.' Frankie's representatives have told Daily Mail that there is 'absolutely no feud' between the pair, while The Sun reports that those close to Rochelle insist there is 'no feud'. Yet that didn't stop Frankie posting a cryptic social media post on Monday that was captioned: 'You're so quiet… Thanks, you said something five years ago and I've just realised you're actually dead to me.' The TikTok video showed Frankie sipping on a glass of wine and was set to the music of Avril Lavigne's What The Hell. Frankie then added below: 'Takes me a while, but once you're dead you're dead.' She didn't specify who or what incident she was talking about in the post. While Frankie and Rochelle found fame as singers they have since both turned their hand to the world of TV - with Frankie a regular panelist on Loose Women, while Rochelle is a stand-in presenter for This Morning. Rochelle has just returned from a holiday to the Balearic island with her husband to celebrate their 13th wedding anniversary. She penned: '72 hours in sea, belly laughing, questionable dance moves and spicy margs that tasted better than our decisions. 'Our annual non negotiable child free trip with old friends who remind you who you are. Sore heads all round today but ironically my battery feels recharged! Just what I needed. 'Happy 13 my love @marvinhumes what a way to celebrate'.
