The gorgeous mum-of-one hasn't let parental life stop her from soaking up the sun abroad whenever she can.
Sophie, 33, often shares snaps from Ibiza when not posting pictures of her adorable little girl.

She took the public reaction to her TV debut in her stride and posts some of the memes she saw on Twitter.
