Sophie Piper might have signed an NDA about discussing Rochelle Humes on Love Island
Before the Winter Love Island contestants headed into the South African villa, many of them were asked about their claim to fame. And while Eve Gale's already discussed her DMs with Tyga, one person who hasn't even touched on her famous sister is Sophie Piper.
If you didn't already know, 21-year-old Sophie is the younger sister of Rochelle Humes of This Morning and The Saturdays fame. In her opening interview, Sophie was quite coy about it, not elaborating further than: "My sister is Rochelle Humes."
Rochelle has since taken to social media to share her support for Sophie, commenting on her Love Island social media announcement: ""Good luck baby sis. Bring us back a keeper 🌴☀️."

Marvin Humes added, "Is this how far @rochellehumes will go to make me watch Love Island?! 😂 Good luck Soph x"
Interestingly though, Sophie hasn't really discussed Rochelle since being in the villa - or even at all, actually (that we've seen, anyway). This might be because of legal reasons, as an associate lawyer explained to Metro.co.uk: "Despite the reportedly close relationship between Sophie and Rochelle, we cannot rule out the possibility that Sophie was asked to sign an NDA or otherwise agreed to be bound by obligations of confidentiality.
"We would expect that [Rochelle] would want to protect [her clean image] and a well-structured NDA, with a clear definition of what constitutes 'confidential information' is a useful tool for achieving this purpose."

Essentially, despite being her sister, Rochelle wouldn't want Sophie accidentally saying anything that could harm her reputation. And considering Sophie is absolutely brilliant as is, we couldn't imagine she wanted to use Rochelle's name for gain, anyway.
We have reached out to Rochelle, Sophie and ITV for comment.
