[edit] Biography
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 bras.
Her career since has been largely quiet, with more photographic shoots and glamour, less catwalk. However, she 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 [1]; love affairs (particularly with footballer Mark Bosnich); and a cocaine addiction that lasted ten years.
Anderton traces her addiction back to when she was prescribed morphine after a car accident as a child [1]
After being derided for her self-centred approach and variable/unstable emotions on ITV's Love Island in Summer 2006, she was diagnosed and treated for Bipolar disorder [2].
Anderton appeared on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on the 22 September 2006, and announced that she was about to star in a new TV series.
[edit] Reality TV
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 [3]
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 memberShane 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 was taking part on Sky One's Cirque de Celebrité[4], but had to quit after she sustained ligament damage[5].
[edit] Relationships
Matt Graham, a previous boyfriend, told the press: "I was trapped in a nightmare relationship with the girl. It was simply two years of hell. The sex was amazing, really steamy, some of the best I've ever had. But it wasn't worth having to put up with all her emotional baggage." Graham said that Anderton had lesbian sex behind his back and boasted that the best sex she'd ever had was with a woman[6]
She dated and lived with footballer Mark Bosnich, before the couple broke up over drug taking problems. She was then engaged to nightclub owner Mark Alexiou, but that broke up soon after her call-girl confession
After returning from the ITV "Celebrity Love Island", it was reported in the Sunday Mirror's showbiz section "Radar" in September 2006 that she was dating Crystal Palace F.C. chairman Simon Jordan [7] [8]
