Love Island star Sophie Gradon’s boyfriend has been found dead just three weeks after she passed away.
The body of Aaron Armstrong, 25, was reportedly found in Northumbria, hours after he posted a tribute to Sophie on social media.
Reality star Sophie, who appeared in the 2016 series of the ITV2 dating show, was found dead at an address in Ponteland, Northumberland on June 20.
The 32-year-old’s funeral was on Friday.
A family friend, who wished to remain anonymous, said of Aaron’s death: “We’re absolutely gutted. Heartbroken.”
The Sun Online also reports that a police spokesman confirmed the body was found at around lunchtime on Tuesday, and that there were no suspicious circumstances.
Aaron’s death comes just hours after he paid tribute to tragic Sophie.
He wrote on Instagram: “Just wish I could cuddle you all day miss you so much man Sophie not a minute goes by with out your gorgeous smile being a picture in my mind everyday we spent together was so amazing I need them days back. I love you princess.”
The former Miss Great Britain coupled up with Thomas Powell in the villa but hit headlines when she began a relationship with fellow contestant Katie Salmon.
