Sophie's Love Island fury

Sophie Anderton is furious with the producers of 'Love Island' for editing the reality show to make her look bad.

The lingerie model was branded self-obsessed and a whinger by viewers when the programme was aired last month because of her seemingly non-stop tantrums.

Sophie insists her behaviour, which earned her the nickname "Cruella Deville" from her fellow islander Calum Best, wasn't as terrible as depicted.

The reformed drug addict and recovering alcoholic said: "It was edited so people only saw a certain side of me. I've not seen any of it."

The 29-year-old model famously fell out with socialite pal Lady Victoria Hervey on the show.

The 'It Girl' was brought back to the island weeks after being evicted to confront Sophie over her brief fling with Chris Brosnan.

In an onscreen showdown, Lady Victoria tipped a bottle of wine over her former friend's head.

Speaking at a London party this week, Sophie insisted she bears no grudge towards her one-time pal, saying: "I heard Victoria's coming into town next week. If I bump into her I'll be civil, I won't retaliate. I'm too much of a lady for that."

During her time on the Fijian island, Sophie fell for former Boyzone singer Shane Lynch, had a fling with Chris Brosnan - the son of former Bond star Pierce - and even desperately flirted with ex-'Hollyoaks' actor Paul Danan.

The show was won by Bianca Gascoigne and Calum Best - both of whom are the children of alcoholic footballers, Bianca's step-dad is Paul Gascoigne, while Calum is the son of the late George Best.
