Sophie Gradon

Sophie Gradon stood 5'8" with a slim build, brown hair, and hazel eyes. She was a British model, beauty pageant contestant, and reality TV star, active in the entertainment industry from around 2008 to 2018.

Born on 25 October 1985 in the United Kingdom, Sophie first gained recognition in 2008 when she won Miss Newcastle. The following year, she won the title Miss Great Britain, a crowning achievement in her early career. In 2016, she appeared as a contestant on the second series of ITV2's Love Island, bringing her to a wider audience.

Sophie was open about her bisexuality, and she continued modeling and making public appearances until her untimely death on 20 June 2018, at age 32. She was found at her parents' home in Medburn; officials later determined her death was a suicide, compounded by alcohol and cocaine use. Her passing prompted an outpouring of condolences from the Miss Great Britain organization and her Love Island castmates. Her funeral took place on 5 July 2018. About 20 days after she died, her boyfriend Aaron Armstrong also died by suicide, as an inquest revealed he could not cope without her.
