LOVE Island bosses are in advance talks to sign Rochelle Humes’ lookalike sister for the new series, The Sun can reveal.
Producers of the show are “desperate” for Soph Piper, 20, to join the line-up of singletons jetting off to Majorca this summer.
A source close to the show has revealed the offer is on the table from Love Island – but Soph is still yet to make a final decision.
An insider said: “ITV2 bosses are really keen for Soph to be the star of this year’s series.
“Last year they had Dani and her claim to fame with dad Danny captured viewers and boasted the show’s ratings.
“This year they’re hoping to do the same with Rochelle and her youngest sister, who’s the spitting image of her.
“Soph is the perfect islander – she’s incredibly beautiful and loves meeting new people after already doing a season in Ibiza.
“She’s currently deciding with her family if it’s the right decision for her but it’s looking like a strong possibility.”
Love Island host Caroline Flack revealed last week she had started filming for the new series – and may have seen the entire new line-up.
She said: “What’s really exciting about this week is that we start filming for Love Island 2019.
“And by the end of the week I’m going to have potentially seen the cast for this year, which is really exciting and mad that it’s come around this quick.
“So I’ll let you know what happens, it’s going to be a long, hot summer and all that.”
The show is yet to confirm a start date for the upcoming series but in accordance to previous years it will be Monday June 6.
