LOVE Island beauty Sophie Piper has been forced to deny she’s expecting her first baby with All Stars boyfriend Josh Ritchie.
The ITV2 alum, 26, took to her Instagram Stories to clap back at online trolls following a flurry of speculation.
It came after construction business owner Josh, 30, posted an adorable gallery showing the pair enjoying some festive banter.
While he was wrapped in a grey knit jumper and pale blue jeans, model Sophie nailed the smart casual look in an oversized white shirt, jeans and a white Prada bag.
Josh posted the snaps with the words: “Merry Christmas you filthy animals.”
While many fans were quick to gush over the cute couple – who have been going strong since the first Love Island All Stars series earlier this year – others suspected they were hiding a secret pregnancy.
Yet after a number of remarks Sophie re-posted one of the images and wrote: “For everyone saying I’m pregnant I’m not.
“The wind was blowing up my shirt LOL uncle Fester,” referring to the chunky Addams Family character.
One of Sophie’s followers was also quick to hit back at trolls and wrote: “You were wrong, how awks.
“Now next time maybe wait for someone to announce their pregnancy instead of going by the shape of their clothing.”
Recently, Saturdays popstar Rochelle Humes’ little sister showed off her figure in a striking leopard print bra.
She also flashed her figure in a barely-there red bikini during a recent holiday.
Meanwhile, Josh and Sophie looked blissfully loved up during a recent trip to Italy.
They came third on All Stars this year after surprising fans with their blossoming romance.
They were beaten to the crown by Molly Smith and Tom Clare with Molly’s ex Callum Jones coming second alongside Jess Gale.
Sophie spoke out on their romance earlier this year and said: “We’re taking things slow.
Love Island All Stars will be back for its second series in 2025 - and rumours are already rife as to who will be making a comeback this time around.
After the second All Stars series was announced in May, show boss Mike Spender said: “Lots of people have been in contact about it, lots of fun people, from series one onwards.
“We cast it because we knew what was going on behind the scenes of who was getting with who and now even more stories have come out.
“I think we will now save ex-islanders for All Stars.”
One rumoured name for the next series is data engineer Harry Baker.
Harry, 25, arrived in the villa as a bombshell in Series 11. He soon ‘stole’ Grace Jackson after making his debut.
Arriving late in the run, he only lasted for a few days before being dumped alongside Lola Deloca.
Despite the hunk’s brief stint, viewers have called for Harry’s return.
One upset fan wrote: “Get you in All Stars next”, to which Harry cryptically replied by posting ‘shrugging’ emojis.
“He’s in Manchester and I’m in London but we’re still managing to see each other and we always say that it’s nice to miss each other.
“Me and Josh are really good, I feel like we’re the two people who least expected it to turn out the way it has, but yeah, we’re really happy.”
