Loved up Josh Ritchie and Sophie Piper have taken their relationship to the next level a month after leaving the villa.
The cute couple have gone from strength to strength after finishing third on the All Stars series and things are finally official - they have become boyfriend and girlfriend. Josh, 29, couldn't let the moment pass without making a splash and a joke. He spelt out 'Will you be my GF?' in rose petals on a four poster bed.
After of course saying yes, Sophie posted a photo of it and wrote: "He's the cutest," with a red love heart. But there was a twist to come - he recorded the beauty, standing opposite the bed, and zoomed in on the question and said: "Thankfully she said no!" Sophie then bit back: "Um... I just don't think we're at that stage yet to be honest with you. There's a lot of stuff still like that I'm working out."
Josh giggled in the background, giving the game away. Sophie is of course Rochelle Humes younger sister and she gave an update on their romance whilst co-hosting This Morning with Andi Peters, 53, late last month. The presenter shared that she had met Josh for the first time just days ago after her colleague Andi asked her: "How was your weekend?"
Rochelle said: "It wasn't bad at all, actually. Sunday [I had] family over for dinner." Andi questioned: "Meet anybody new this weekend?" His co-host responded on the ITV show: "I did, actually. I met my sister's new boyfriend for the first time."
Gemma Owen's mum makes cryptic 'fakery' dig after Love Island star's Luca splitAndi teased: "Is that your sister who was on Love Island? You met Josh?" Rochelle said: "I know, cause I was kinda like 'is it serious?' Like how do these things work? I can't talk to her while she's in a villa. So I'm like 'yeah but do you actually like him?' And then she said 'can I bring him over on Sunday?'"
She continued: "So I met him, yeah." Rochelle added that she cooked a roast dinner but teased that Josh didn't eat it. The former hitmaker revealed: "I cooked a roast dinner, he didn't eat any of it so I'm gonna try not to take that as an insult." Andi teased: "Josh, I've got to say - I've been round and I wouldn't eat it either." Amid some laughter in the studio, Rochelle reacted to him: "And there you go, I thought my roast potatoes were good. Apparently not so much."
Following their stint in the villa, Sophie and Josh shared a joint post on Instagram in which they teased their future. Alongside some photos of them, the pair wrote: "Just the beginning. Thank you so much to everyone that has supported us throughout our journey honestly it means the world." They added: "On [cloud emoji] nine."
