A LOVE Island legend has revealed he spent the night with new Islander Sophie Lee after meeting her on a night out.
Sophie, 29, is one of the brand-new singletons who will enter the Love Island villa on Monday night.
And Anton Danyluk - who first shot to fame on the 2019 series - has shared how he bumped into the former fire breather last year and ended up in a hotel room with her.
Writing on Instagram, Anton, 30, said: “Let’s just say we didn’t get much sleep…
“Last October, I was on a night out and bumped into one of my mates who happened to be with Sophie Lee.
“I already knew of Sophie through one of my friends, Joss, but we’d never properly spoken - until that night. We clicked straight away.”
Sophie now works as an activist after a fire-breathing accident when she was 22 left her with significant burns.
The incident took place whilst she was performing in Chicago, when an air-conditioner blew the flames she was expelling back towards her.
And Anton confessed he was “captivated” by Sophie’s story.
He continued: “We ended up back at her hotel room… but not how you think.
“We genuinely talked all night. I was captivated by her story.”
Praising Sophie for talking openly about her experience, he added: “No filters. No ego.
“Her message? Learn to love yourself - scars and all.”
Anton isn't the only former Islander Sophie has a connection to.
She was previously in a relationship with Scottish hunk Ouzy See, 30, who appeared on the show’s tenth series.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun while attending the 2023 Beauty Awards together, Ouzy said at the time: "We're in the early stages, I'm here supporting Sophie tonight as she's been nominated."
Asked if things were going well between them, Ouzy beamed: "It's going really well," prompting Sophie to chime in: "He's really kind, that's my favourite thing about him."
