Ahead of her Love Island stint, Sophie talked about whether she would potentially have sex on the show.
"Well, I'm a girl that's practiced celibacy throughout her dating life," she told The Sun.
"Yeah, it's gonna take a really hot guy.
"Celibacy has been part of my journey, and I think for me, I did try and date when I was going through my accident, or going through having treatment, things like that, and I just wasn't ready." - Sophie was referring to when she was scarred badly after being burnt in a terrifying accident.
Continuing to talk about her celibacy journey, the new Islander said: "For my personal preference anyway, sex and intimate times, I'm giving you a part of my body.
"I'm giving you a part of my soul, my mind, body and soul. If I'm not in a place where I feel confident in that, then that's a me problem. That's not a him problem. He's just living a single life, or whatever. That's why I did celibacy."
Talking about the last time she had sex, and also how long she once abstained from nookie for, she said: "The longest stint was two years.
"Even now, I've done celibacy for eight-and-a-bit months.
"And I'm proud of that, because it means it's something that I want to do.
"If I want to have sex, I want to do it, not because I'm there thinking, maybe I should do it, because he might like me more, or, everyone else is doing it, am I not normal?

"But if I'm not going to have it, I'm not going to have it, end of conversation."
LOVE ISLAND EX
Yesterday, The Sun revealed how Sophie's Love Island ex-boyfriend has been left devastated after she was revealed in the villa line-up.
The bikini babe used to date Ouzy See, 30, who took part in series 10 of the show.
But the fact she is going on the new series of the show, has proved to much for the semi-pro footballer
A friend of his 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.'
It was previously revealed how Ouzy dated Sophie back in 2023.

He even accompanied her to the Beauty Awards where she won Beauty Influencer of the Year.
At the time, Ouzy told us on the red carpet: "It's going really well.
This prompted 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."

Lionel Richie, O2 Arena: a glorified karaoke show, and you'd be mad not to sing along
'I am not the show,' Lionel Richie declared to the O2 Arena. 'The show is the audience.' That might have sounded a tad rich coming from a Grammy-winning R&B hitmaker in a fancy jacket on a gloss-black stage, accompanied by an even glossier grand piano and regular bouts of dry ice. But in a way, he was right. A Lionel Richie show isn't just a chance to salute the legacy of a household name. It's also an enjoyably glorified karaoke night, and from the first song 'Hello' – the obvious opener, after the affable balladeer had risen majestically from beneath the thrust stage – the crowd were in fine singing fettle. 'When you come to my show, the last person you'll hear singing is me,' he later jested. Particularly so when that show is part of a greatest hits tour, as this was. An opening montage charted the career of the Alabamian tennis scholarship kid who joined a college R&B band eventually called the Commodores, made a few multi-platinum hits with them, then even more as a solo artist. His music has had half a century to marinate in people's lives, becoming part of culture's common parlance. It would almost be insulting not to sing along. His own voice sometimes lost out not only to the audience but to his band, who beefed up the songs and moves, often flanking him like unconventional bodyguards. Despite the occasional fluffed line, though – unlike fellow 75-year-old Bruce Springsteen, Richie doesn't rely on an autocue – for almost two age-defying hours he breezed through his discography: immortal songs built on the sturdy foundations of Motown. There was the familiar solace of Easy and Say You, Say Me, the exquisite country undercurrents of Sail On, as well as a slightly less gratifying medley of Commodores' party funk tracks including Sweet Love and Lady. Richie is an old-school showman who knows that audience interaction is as important as the music for making an arena feel intimate. He cracked jokes, grumbled about the weather, and broadcasted someone's video call to their mother on the big screen – all part of the shtick, but charming nonetheless. 'When you see me jumping and running, sliding, running up stairs, running down stairs, I want you all to know one thing: I'm in pain,' he quipped. A greatest hits show can seem as though it's operating on autopilot – especially when your hits include Dancing On The Ceiling, We Are The World (written, famously, with Michael Jackson), and All Night Long – but there was nothing impersonal about these songs, nor their singer: the night was a warm celebration of music that has meant so much to so many over the last fifty years.

Jonathan Bailey says Wicked sequel is ‘darker' and will ‘go there politically'
Actor Jonathan Bailey has said the Wicked sequel is 'darker' and is 'going to go there politically as well'. The Bridgerton star, 37, plays Prince Fiyero in the films, also starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, which are adapted from the musical of the same name. Advertisement 'Being slightly off the M1 in Munchkinland, with Ari singing a beautiful mezzo soprano, and then seeing cars pulling up on the hard shoulder trying to record it, and then seeing men in the sky, (which) turned out to be microlights and drones, it was like Independence Day,' he told British GQ. View this post on Instagram A post shared by British GQ (@britishgq) He added: 'I remember having four hours to learn how to do a dance move. I did it with Ari, headbutted her, and was like, 'Gotta go!'. 'I think she might have even headbutted me, but it was a meeting of minds, literally.' Wicked's next instalment will arrive in cinemas in Ireland and the UK from November 21st and will cover the years after Elphaba, played by Erivo, parted ways with her friend Glinda (Grande). Advertisement Wicked: For Good will also show Elphaba being demonised by those in Oz, and transformed into The Wicked Witch Of The West. The films have been adapted from the musical, which was based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel – which was in turn inspired by the story first told in L Frank Baum's 1900 children's novel, later adapted into the 1939 film starring Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale. Bailey said: 'It's darker, and I've got a sense it's going to go there politically as well. 'Fiyero's arc really kicks off and he literally is transformed by the end.' Advertisement Other stars of Wicked include Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, and US actor Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard. View this post on Instagram A post shared by British GQ (@britishgq) Both Bailey and Goldblum are part of the Jurassic Park franchise. Goldblum played Dr Ian Malcolm in the original 1993 adventure/sci-fi while Bailey stars as Dr Henry Loomis in Jurassic World: Rebirth, which is yet to be released. 'We'll see how it goes, but there might be a few films down the line where me and him can appear in Jurassic together,' Bailey said. Advertisement He added: 'Dr Ian Malcolm and Dr Henry Loomis on a night out.' Bailey stars on the cover of the summer Heroes issue of British GQ and will be speaking at the GQ Heroes conference, taking place at Soho Farmhouse, Oxfordshire from July 2nd to 4th. The Heroes Issue of British GQ is available via digital download and on newsstands on June 10th.

Shoppers race to buy garden must-have from Amazon that adds instant privacy & perfect for unpredictable British summers
AMAZON is selling a stylish pop up gazebo for less than £60 that is perfect for family gatherings. The Outsunny Pop Up gazebo not only offers instant privacy – it is also popular with online customers. And in another plus for the pop up, it is also a smash hit with consumer organisation Which?, scoring high marks in recent tests. With forecasters predicting a sun-packed summer it couldn't have arrived at a better time, making it a must-have item for BBQs, parties and festivals. It is also the perfect addition for anyone planning an outdoor Father's Day event on June 15. The Outsunny 3x3m Pop Up Gazebo is currently on offer for just £55.99 on Amazon. That takes 29% off the original price. It's also been awarded a brilliant 82% score by Which?, with particular praise for how easy it is to assemble. This means there are no tools – or temper tantrums – required. There is also a grey version of the Outsunny Pop Up Gazebo for sale on Amazon, which retails at £79.99. This pop-up shelter is made for unpredictable summer weather. Here are just some of the benefits: The canopy is UV and water resistant. This will provide shade on scorching days and protection when the heavens open. It comes with four zippered side panels – so you can go fully enclosed or keep it open for breeze and mingling. There are other reasons to purchase this gazebo too. This includes its steel frame, which has been powder-coated for durability. The Outsunny 3x3m Pop Up Gazebo even includes eight drainage holes to stop water collecting on top. Its exact dimensions are 2.95m x 2.95 m x 2.58m, with the door at a height of 1.96m. 2 The manufacturer recommends two to three people are on hand to assemble. In addition to this, when you're party's over, it packs neatly into the included carry bag for easy storage and transport. How to have a great – and safe - barbecue If you are planning a barbecue in your garden it is advised you consider how you will get rid of disposable barbecues once you've finished with them. Some areas have dedicated barbecue bins, but you should always ensure your barbecue is fully cooled before disposal by pouring cold water on it, says East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service. Other advice includes choosing a location away from buildings, fences, trees, and anything that could catch fire. Ensure the ground is flat and stable, and that the barbecue is placed firmly to prevent tipping. Never leave a barbecue unattended when in use. Keep children, pets, and garden games away from the cooking area. With multiple colour options, it's also easy to coordinate. But be quick, because the most popular shades and sizes tend to sell out fast when the weather forecast starts to change. At such a low price, a proper gazebo like this one is a small investment that could save your whole day – whatever the weather.
