Inside Sophie Piper and Josh Ritchie’s romantic break in Jamaica as they put split rumours behind them
LOVE Islanders Sophie Piper and Josh Ritchie have jetted off on a romantic break following rumours that the pair had split.
The reality star couple are living it large while staying at the Sandals South Coast resort in Whitehouse, Jamaica.
The 5-star-hotel is an incredible adults-only resort which sits alongside a picturesque white sand beach, costing upwards of £300 per night.
Sophie, 25, and Josh, 29, appeared all loved up as they took to Instagram to share snaps of their luxury holiday with fans.
The brunette bombshell looked incredible as she posed next to boyfriend Josh in an orange bikini that showed off her natural curves.
The reality favourites posted pics of them relaxing by the pool while sipping cocktails, enjoying their time in the sizzling Caribbean heat.
Showing off their playful relationship, Sophie filmed Josh splashing around captioning the video “letting the kid play in the pool”.
Their romantic getaway comes after rumours started swirling that the couple had split.
In March, Sophie reunited with All Stars cast for a night out without her beau adding fuel to the fire.
She attended Maya Jama’s collaboration event with Gordon’s Premium Pink Gin with Love Island favourite Callum Jones who attended without his partner Jess Gale.
Weeks later Callum and Jess broke off their relationship, ending things as friends.
Fans began to fear that Josh and Sophie had followed suit, but were relieved to find that this was not the case as they posted pics of them together on social media.
They remain one of two couples left from the Love Island: All Stars series, alongside winners Molly Smith and Tom Clare.
The pair placed third on the hit dating show and remained audience favourites due to their fun-loving relationship.
Love Island All Stars break-ups
Anton Danyluk and Georgia Harrison
Fans had hoped the popular pair would stand the test of time but just weeks after leaving the villa they called it a day.
Distance was said to be a factor with 400miles between their homes in Essex and Aidrie, Scotland, respectively.
But today Anton set the record straight on the What’s The Crack? podcast with his mum Sherrie-Ann.
He said: “I just don’t think there was really that romantic spark there. We did both try. At times it was there but just not enough for it to continue as a relationship.”
Jess Gale and Callum Jones
The fourth placed finishers always faced on uphill battle given many watching the latest series wanted Callum to reunite with his ex Molly Smith.
The fireworks from the Boohoo party row put an end to the romance before it really got off the floor.

Arabella Chi and Adam Maxted
This visually striking pairing bloomed late in the series. Despite forming a close bond in the villa, the couple quickly went cold in the real world.
Wrestler Adam was based in Northern Ireland while model Arabella moved into a new pad in London. Even though Adam revealed he was moving to Manchester, it wasn’t enough to save them.
They vowed to remain good friends and split on good terms.
Luis Morrison and Demi Jones
In another case of distance getting in the way, Luis admitted the 240 miles between Manchester and Portsmouth was just too much.
He told The Sun: “Me and Demi aren’t together, but she was a huge part of my Love Island experience and she is one of the most loveliest, most beautiful girls I’ve ever met.
“The connection was definitely there when leaving the villa too.
“But the distance was a killer for us both and wouldn’t of worked as we are both at different parts of the country, we both have really busy schedules coming off love island too.”
However, it seemed that they had their hardships when Josh was snubbed by Sophie’s famous family.
Sophie’s sister, This Morning anchor and former Saturdays star Rochelle Humes took a dig at the TV personality on-air.
During a chat on This Morning the 34- year-old said: “I met my sister’s new boyfriend for the first time.
“I cooked a roast dinner. He didn’t eat any of it.
“I’m going to try not to take that as an insult.”
Fan also pointed out that she has not followed Josh back on Instagram.
Despite split rumours and family feuds the pair seem to be stronger than ever as they jet away on their romantic trip.
