Even Rochelle’s sister wasn’t sure it was the real deal and admitted on This Morning shortly after Love Island finished: "I met my sister's new boyfriend for the first time.
"I was kind of like 'is it serious? How do these things work?' I can't talk to her while she's in the villa. So I'm like 'yeah, but do you actually like him?' Then she said 'can I bring him over on Sunday?'
"I cooked a roast dinner. He didn't eat any of it.
"I'm going to try not to take that as an insult."
Sophie isn’t concerned though and gushed recently: “We're taking things slow. 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.”
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.”
