THE boyfriend of Love Island star Sophie Gradon was found dead yesterday, less than a month after the reality TV star’s suspected suicide.

Aaron Armstrong’s body was discovered at his home in Blyth, Northumber­land, days after the reality TV star’s funeral on Thursday.

In a final post on Instagram on Monday, Mr Armstrong, 25, wrote: “Just wish I could cuddle you all day.

“Miss you so much Sophie, not a minute goes by without your gorgeous smile being a picture in my mind. Every day we spent together was so amazing. I need them days back. I love you princess.”

He was devastated after finding Ms Gradon, 32, dead at her parents’ home near Newcastle last month.

Model Ms Gradon, who appeared on the ITV2 show in 2016, had battled anxiety and depression.

Confirming Mr Armstrong’s death, Northumbri­a Police said: “There is not believed to be any third party involvemen­t and a report will now be prepared for the coroner.”
