Love Island All Stars finalists take huge relationship step as they reveal romantic milestone
LOVE Island All Stars finalists Sophie Piper and Josh Ritchie have taken their relationship to the next step four weeks after leaving the villa.
The pair, who met on the ITV spin-off earlier this year, have gone from strength to strength since placing third on the programme.
Today the couple have finally became boyfriend and girlfriend.
Josh, 29, pulled out all the stops to make it the most special moment for them both.
The reality star spelt out ‘Will you be my GF?’ in rose petals on a four poster bed.
Sophie, 25, shared a snap of his creation and posted it on her Instagram story.
She captioned the post: “His the cutest,” with a red love heart.
Josh also took to social media to share the moment.
The hunk filmed Sophie standing opposite the bed and then zoomed in on the question and said: “Thankfully she said no!”
Sophie added: “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 couldn’t contain his laughter in the background.
Sophie shot to fame on Love Island back in 2020.
Her stint in the villa didn’t last long as she was dumped on day 22, and didn’t find a connection.
Meanwhile Josh took part in the original series of the revived series in 2015.
He placed third alongside Lauren Richardson.
Both Sophie and Josh entered the All Stars villa as bombshells, and it wasn’t long before they got to know each other.
Josh made it clear that he was keen to get to know Joanna Chimonides, while Sophie was also getting to know Chris Taylor.
However they couldn’t keep away from each other and by week two knew that they didn’t want to get to know anyone else.
