BIOGRAPHY

Sophie Anderton
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP | BLOG

Sophie Anderton, born May 14, 1977, in Bristol, is an English lingerie model and television personality.

Anderton attended Redland High School for Girls in Bristol between 1988 & 1993, and, albeit briefly, Bristol Cathedral School in 1993. After school she developed a career as a model, and became famous after a prominent advertising campaign modelling Gossard Wonderbras.

Her career since has been largely quiet, with more photographic shoots and glamour, less catwalk. However, Anderton has received coverage mainly due to the tabloid press who have documented her party lifestyle, including: a self-confessed night as a "high-class" call girl; love affairs (particularly with footballer Mark Bosnich); and a cocaine addiction that lasted ten years.

Anderton traces her cocaine addiction back to when she was prescribed morphine after a car accident as a child. In 2006, she was diagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder.

She has appeared on the July edition of Maxim. In November 2006 announced as the face of La Senza's Christmas collection.

In 2004 Anderton was a contestant on the fourth series of ITV's I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, where she came fifth and was remembered for having a disagreement with the singer Natalie Appleton.

Anderton has also taken part in Simply the Best and a celebrity edition of the UK version of Fear Factor. In 2005 she appeared in the programme Cold Turkey which followed her attempts to quit smoking cigarettes alongside Tara Palmer Tomkinson. She later became the face of the SOS Instant Quit Programme which consists of a mouth spray which makes smokers feel sick at the smell and taste of cigarette smoke. She has since resumed the habit.

In 2006 Anderton was a contestant on the second series of ITV's Love Island in Summer 2006. Known as Me-Me by the show's presenters, Fearne Cotton and Patrick Kielty, she was covered extensively in the press as being emotionally unstable, crying relentlessly and being highly self-absorbed. She fell out with friend Lady Victoria Hervey, after Anderton transferred her affections from ex-boyband member Shane Lynch to Hervey's island interest Chris Brosnan. After a long discussion expressing how upset she was with her former friend's behaviour, Hervey then poured a bottle of wine over Anderton's head. In a task Sophie guessed that Ayers Rock is in Canada and the Falkland Islands are in Europe. Anderton was evicted from Love Island on 25 August.

Anderton appeared on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on the September 22, 2006, and announced that she was about to star in a new TV series. The series was later announced as Sky One's Cirque de Celebrité, but had to quit after she sustained ligament damage.
