Love Island’s Sophie Gradon has died at the age of 32.
The reality TV star’s body was found at her home in Medburn, Ponteland, at around 8:30pm on Wednesday (20.06.18) and, although the police have confirmed there are no "suspicious circumstances surrounding her death", a report is now being prepared to help the coroner distinguish how and why she passed.
A Northumbria Police spokesperson told The Mail Online: "At about 8.27pm yesterday, 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."
Sophie’s boyfriend Aaron Armstrong was one of the first to post a tribute on social media, sharing a photograph of the pair laughing and writing: "I will never forget that smile I love you so so much baby your my world forever ever and always. (sic)"
Geordie Shore’s Nathan Henry added: "@sophiegradon rest in peace you beautiful little angel, the heavens are blessed with a beautiful smile R.I.P xxx"
His co-star Holly Hagan said: "@sophiegradon you were only helping me battle the twitter trolls yesterday rest in peace beautiful (sic)"
Olivia Buckland – who starred alongside Sophie in the ‘Love Island’ villa in 2016 – wrote on her account: "Awful awful news this morning. I am gutted. I am so sorry the world failed you. You were such an intricate, creative, intelligent soul. Words fail me."
And Cara De La Hoyde – who won the series with Nathan Massey – added: "Such a awful day my heart is broken & goes out to the very one effected (sic)"
The former Miss Great Britain model won a legion of fans three years ago when she entered the ‘Love Island’ villa and found love with Thomas Powell.
But later on in the series, she moved on to Katie Salmon and they became the first bisexual couple on the show.
