Love Island’s Sophie Gradon has died at the age of 32.
Sophie’s boyfriend, Aaron Armstrong, along with her friends and family confirmed via Sophie’s personal Facebook account that she had passed away.
Sharing a picture of them together, he wrote: “I will never forget that smile I love you so so much baby your my world forever ever and always”
The former reality star, who hailed from Newcastle, was crowned Miss Great Britain in 2009.
She’s also a former Miss Newcastle.
It is not yet known how Sophie died.
A Northumbria Police spokesperson said: “At about 8.27pm yesterday (June 20) police attended a property in Medburn, Ponteland, where sadly a 32-year-old woman was found deceased.
“There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding her death. A report will now be prepared for the coroner.”
She made history on Love Island as one half of the show’s first same-sex couple after she coupled up with Katie Salmon.
Before that, she’d been coupled up with barman Tom Powell.
Geordie Shore’s Holly Hagan paid tribute on Twitter, saying: “you were only helping me battle the twitter trolls yesterday rest in peace beautiful”

Hayley Hughes, who was in the villa this year, tweeted: “In lost of words right now! RIP @sophiegradon such an amazing and beautiful girl”
Just yesterday, Sophie posted on Instagram about an underwear brand she loved.
