She posted a gushing video about her man just days before her death, describing him as the love of her life.

The former Love Island star uploaded a video of her beau Aaron dancing with a dog, captioning it: "When the love of your life loves his dogs like this you know he’s the one. She’s cuddling him right back ... & those arms"

Aaron was found dead in Blyth, Northumbria, shortly after posting an Instagram tribute to Sophie - who starred on Love Island in 2016.
