SOPHIE SWINGS INTO ACTION ALONGSIDE GRACE AND EMMA

SEND TO A FRIEND

24 OCTOBER 2006

Sophie Anderton's career looks set to hit a new high thanks to her latest reality TV show. After raising more than a few eyebrows with her emotional behaviour on Celebrity Love Island, the 28-year-old model is swinging back into action with another small screen ratings winner.

The catwalk queen was photographed dangling from a trapeze as she started filming on the new series Cirque de Celebrite this week. Along with Emma B, Grace Adams-Short and a host of other stars, she has joined top British circus Cirque Surreal to learn the skills of circus performance.

Both their talent and courage will be put to the test over the next few weeks as they prepare to take to the skies before a live audience. Contestants will also be walking a high-wire in the popularity stakes, as one of them will be voted off the show by viewers each week.

Sophie, who is currently dating football boss Simon Jordan, seems to be confident there'll be no repeat of the troubles she experienced while filming Love Island, though. "It's safe to say we all went a little loopy out there," she confessed. "It brought out a side to us we didn't recognise."
