Sophie Kasaei might be looking minter than ever but she’s revealed that it’s actually been a pretty tough time coming to terms with the end of her six-year relationship with Joel Corry.

The Geordie Shore lass is currently the envy of anyone who’s been sacking off the gym since December and has now credited her closest pals with helping her recover fromheartbreak.

In an interview with Closer, Sophie admitted that her personal life is up in the air at the moment: “I feel a little bit lost at the minute. I’m lonely - I’ve split with my boyfriend and have nowhere to go, really. I’m thinking, ‘Where do I go now?’

“I might go back to Newcastle this year, which will be weird, but nice to be surrounded by friends and the girls again.”

On the plus side, one person she can always rely on is close pal Charlotte Crosby: “I’m all for my girlfriends at the moment. I’ve been seeing a load of Charlotte and she’s doing really well - I’m so proud of her.”

Sophie previously confirmed in an interview with New! Magazine that Joel had broken up with her over the phone back in September – but insisted that she doesn’t harbor any bad feelings over the split.

“I got out of the Geordie Shore house in September after filming and got a phone call from Joel. "He was like, ‘I don’t know what it is Soph, but I just don’t think it’s going to work.’

“I was instantly like, ‘What the hell, is there another girl?’ He said there wasn’t but went, ‘I just don’t think that you and me will have a future because it’s just not what I want and I know you do. You want to settle down, and it’s understandable, but it’s just not for me and it’s not what I want.’”

As for what the rest of 2018 has in store for Soph – she intends on getting stuck into some charity work and has plans to head out to India to help her re-learn the true “value” of things.
