Rochelle Humes' sister has apparently been signed up for the upcoming series of Love Island.
Sophie Piper has seemingly been locked down to appear in the first ever January version of the dating show, despite also being allegedly locked down to appear in this summer's version of the show too.
But apparently it's actually happening this time, lads. Maybe.
According to The Sun, ITV's talks with The Saturday's younger sister fell through earlier this year, but things have since remedied themselves and she will, indeed, be appearing in Winter Love Island.
“Sophie is a dead ringer for Rochelle and viewers will love the likeness," a source told the publication.
"ITV2 bosses are hoping she will be the star of this series. She’s got a really bubbly personality, plus they love the famous link.”
They do, indeed.

The news of Sophie's involvement in the series was first reported back in April, when she was apparently offered a place on the show.
Producers were, naturally, adamant to get her over to Majorca to capitalise on the fact that people just love famous people and - by extension - people who are related to famous people.
"Last year they had Dani and her claim to fame with dad Danny captured viewers and boasted the show’s ratings," said a source at the time.
“This year they’re hoping to do the same with Rochelle and her youngest sister, who’s the spitting image of her."
So we've heard, yeah.

The official cast for Winter Love Island has not yet been revealed, however we do know that Laura Whitmore will be taking over hosting duties from Caroline Flack.
The Dublin born presenter was announced as the show's replacement host after Flack was charged with assault following an altercation with her boyfriend.
She stepped down from the show ahead of her first court appearance last week.
Winter Love Island is due to kick off on Sunday, January 12 on Virgin Media Two.
