Karren Brady's model daughter rejects Love Island casting 'multiple times'

Baroness Karren Brady’s daughter has claimed she is being begged to join the cast of Love Island - but has rejected the reality romance show multiple times.

Sophia Peschisolido boasts over 100,000 followers on Instagram where she has racked up huge amounts of likes for posing in a wide range of sexy outfits.

But the 22-year-old model and influencer says she would hate to be thrown into the spotlight for being a contestant on ITV’s hit dating show - and doesn’t want the attention.

Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, the brown eyed beauty - who is the daughter of 50-year-old Apprentice star Karren and 48-year-old footballer Paul Peschisolido - suggested she has been headhunted by Love Island casting agents more than once.

“I’ve been asked to go on loads of times but I've turned them down,” Sophia said.

“I just don't want that kind of attention,” she added.

She also said the incredible figure flaunts on Instagram is down to genes and not exercise.

“I never work out – I went for a run for the first time in ages the other day and almost died,” she said.

The future of Love Island for the summer 2020 season could be in doubt due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The ITV2 series is filmed on the Spanish island Majorca - but it may be impossible for cast and crew to reach the island due to travel restrictions designed to limit the spread of the deadly virus.

Furthermore, social distancing rules would greatly complicate the making of a dating show - with Love Island showing contestants sharing beds and getting intimate in front of cameras.

However, show producers have insisted the summer 2020 series is still on track, despite the ongoing pandemic.

The show production team have been told the upcoming series "is still scheduled" to account for COVID-19 it will launch in July rather than June, according to the MailOnline.

A source told the outlet: "The team are still committed to the series airing this summer. The show will go on.

"Production on Love Island have been told the upcoming series is still scheduled to take place but the show will launch a month later in July."
