A friend of the semi-pro footballer told us: 'Ouzy was really shocked and blindsided to see Sophie had signed up for Love Island.
"He was gutted because he feels like there is still unfinished business between the two of them.
"While they aren't dating anymore, he thinks she's an amazing girl and they ended on good terms.
"It's weird for anyone though knowing your ex is about to go on Love Island and could fall for someone else on TV.'
Ouzy, 30, was totally smitten with Sophie back in 2023 at the start of their fledgling romance.
He accompanied her to the Beauty Awards where she won Beauty Influencer of the Year.
Ouzy told us on the red carpet: "It's going really well," prompting Sophie to chime in: "He's really kind, that's my favourite thing about him."
The former villa hunk then gushed: "She's inspirational. We've been dating for a few months."
When asked if they were in love, they giggled and replied: "We'll see."
Sophie overcame a near-death experience in her early 20s.
Ten Years of Love Island
The dancer, from Manchester, was performing with flaming props when the freak accident on stage in Chicago left her fighting for her life.
The air-con in the venue was too powerful and blasted a fireball back at her, causing her face and chest to 'go up in flames'.
Sophie told Fabulous Digital: 'The air-con was too strong so when I blew the fire out it blew back to me. It set me on fire. I just remember being in so much pain, I blacked out for a little bit. It's crazy.
'It happened in front of everyone and I had to get on with it as professionally and quickly as I could. As soon as I got into the ambulance, I was in bits."
Sophie spent a month in intensive care in America by herself, while receiving treatment for the burns.

Emmerdale star confirms fan favourite's return after months off-screen
A FAN favourite on Emmerdale is making a long-anticipated return. Dylan Penders, played by Fred Kettle, will be returning to ITV screens soon after months off the show. 5 5 5 The character was first introduced to Emmerdale viewers earlier this year when he befriended April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan), during her stint being unhoused and living on the streets. Despite caring for April and becoming good friends, her dad Marlon Dingle, was not a fan on Dylan and resorted to planting drugs on Dylan in a desperate bid to force him out of April's life. But his plan backfired dramatically when Dylan ended up overdosing and left to attend rehab. Emmerdale producers revealed earlier this month that Dylan would be returning to the village, but Amelia, who plays April on the soap gave a hint when exactly fans can expect to see him again. "April has had an incredibly tough year with what she has been through, with the pregnancy and the homelessness storyline," she told Mirror Online. "April and Dylan didn't leave things on the best terms, but I think what is important now is that he's back." Amelia added: "Who knows what will happen. It will be great to explore that relationship further, I think fans want to see that which is great." It's been a big week for Amelia who took out the gong for Best Young Performer at Thursday's British Soap Awards. She managed to win the prize ahead of her brother William Flanagan, who was nominated for playing Joseph Brown on Coronation Street. Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw confirmed Dylan's return earlier this month. Emmerdale's Marlon visits Dylan in hospital after he takes an overdose "Lovely Fred Kettle, who plays Dylan, is coming back to the show," she told media. "He's going to be bringing his past back to the village with him. And that's going to cause huge problems for April and the wider family there." Laura added: "We've got a couple of exciting new castings that are joining us for that story, but I'm not allowed to tell you who they are. Watch this space, because it's very exciting." 5 5

Prince William sips gin and cider with aunt Sophie on rare joint outing
Prince William and his aunt Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh let loose as they raised a toast by sampling local gin and cider at the Royal Cornwall Show today Prince William and his aunt Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, joined forces for a rare royal outing together. The duo stepped out at the Royal Cornwall Show today - an agricultural show organised by The Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association. Both senior royals have a long history with the association, as William is patron of the association, while Sophie is the vice president. The Royal Cornwall Show, which was established in 1793, celebrates the best of Cornish heritage and tradition through agriculture, food, entertainment, and competition in order to promote and support future improvement in agriculture and the community at large. Things started with a bang for the royals as they made their way to the Royal Cornwall Food and Farming Pavilion, where they sampled some of the best food and drink that artisans across Cornwall have to offer. One stop on their culinary journey was to a local gin distillery stand, where William and Sophie drank shots from the independent brand, with William showing a startled impression and grasping his neck over the strong spirit. The strength of the gin didn't slow them down, as they were later seen having a cheers and indulging in a pint together. Sophie and William then split up to tour parts of the show separately, as the Prince of Wales, also known as the Duke of Cornwall, headed to the Duchy of Cornwall hub. William met with representatives from various local charities and groups who are the focus of the Royal Cornwall Show, with the event highlighting the importance of mental health support. The Prince of Wales has long made mental health a focus of his royal work and puts his passion into action through programming to help support the mental health of the Duchy of Cornwall's farming tenants. William then visited the Local Nature Partnership – Regenerative/Agricultural, an educational hub organised by the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Nature Partnership and Cornwall Council. While William was at the farm show, Sophie spent time with LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) and the Girl Guides, two organisations she has long supported as a patron. The Duchess of Edinburgh also checked out a fun feature of the festival by seeing cattle, pigs, and sheep in the surrounding countryside. While William and Sophie are not often seen as a duo at royal engagements, their shared passions and philanthropic efforts have occasionally brought the two together at various outings. The pair enjoyed another day out together in June 2023 at The Royal Foundation's screening of Rhino Man hosted by United for Wildlife. At the time, Kensington Palace said Sophie was "delighted to join the Prince of Wales at the event this evening to show her support for United for Wildlife," which he created in 2013. Cameras also caught a sweet moment between the pair last year at Trooping the Colour in June 2024, when Sophie put her hand on William's back as the royal family left the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

William and Sophie sample gin during during rare joint outing
William and Sophie touched paper cups and said 'cheers' as they sampled the drink at the Royal Cornwall Show – the prince's first visit as the Duke of Cornwall. The pair were mobbed by crowds at the event at Whitecross, Wadebridge near Bodmin, who wanted selfies with William and to shake their hands.

They also sampled the prince's favourite tipple, cider, and as the alcohol consumption mounted William joked about stronger spirits: 'I've been caught out with whisky a few times – I think I can do it, then it catches you out.' The pair spent the first few moments touring food stalls and stopped at jellies, jams and other produce made by the husband and wife team Wendy and Andy Knight from Home Farm Cornwall. William and Sophie sample produce made by the husband and wife team of Wendy and Andy Knight from Home Farm Cornwall (Chris Jackson/PA) William spread some spicy pumpkin chutney onto a piece of popadom, after asking for something 'not too hot' and quipped: 'When anyone says a little bit of spice – it's quite hot.' But he approved of the taste: 'Yummy, really good, there's definitely a bit of spice.' The prince knew what he wanted when they visited the Rattler Cornish Cider stall and turned down an offer of an alcohol free drink, saying he '(needed) the real stuff, cannot drink zero' and asked for the 'original'. He told Laura Clerehug who was manning the stand that 'everyone remembers their first Rattler' and after taking a drink, said: 'Needs a bit of ice in it, like a bit of ice.'
