She suffered a spectacular fall from grace.But supermodel Sophie Anderton is back on track and back to doing what she does best - ruling the catwalk.The 34-year-old reformed drug addict looked better than ever as she starred in a university catwalk show yesterday.
Sophie shot to fame in 1996 when she literally stopped traffic in the Gossard Glossies 'Girl in the grass' billboard ads, which featured the strapline 'Who said a woman couldn't get pleasure from something soft?'
She then went to appear on 2004's I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, where she famously fell out with Natalie Appleton.She also appeared on Celebrity Love Island in 2006, where she rowed with Lady Victoria Hervey.
But her world fell apart in 2007 when she was exposed for offering sex to an undercover reporter in exchange for cash.Then in 2009, she confessed to sleeping with strangers to fund her drug habit while talking to Jeremey Kyle on his ITV1 show.However, not only is her professional life getting back on track, but her lovelife is now on a happy footing too.She has been happily living in the Surrey countryside with boyfriend James Simpson, 29, an internet entrepreneur, for almost a year.Apparently, she is waiting for him to propose - and even Sophie's mother, Sue, is keen to buy a hat.
Sophie proved she has managed to maintain the enviable figure that shot her to fame in the mid-Nineties.The beautiful brunette displayed her seemingly endless legs in a pair of heels and white one-piece swimsuit on the catwalk at the University College Falmouth fashion show.She also modelled a parade of creations by students including a chic coral dress and a black tulle gown.
