MATTY Cash’s ex-girlfriend Sophie Draper has met ITV bosses and is in talks to appear on Love Island 2022.
The stunning beautician, 22, dated the Aston Villa right back on and off for four years prior to their sudden split last year and bosses think she is the “perfect fit” for the dating show.
A TV source said: “Sophie is a gorgeous girl who is really driven and determined to succeed.
“She has her own beauty salon and already leads a jet set lifestyle, which she likes showing off on Instagram, so she wouldn’t be phased by being on TV.
“Love Island bosses think she could be a good fit for the show, it’s early days still but she definitely has potential.
“Matty will be pretty shocked to see her looking for love on TV, but he publically moved on pretty quickly.”

Sophie and Matty were sharing a home and a dog prior to their split.
Shortly afterwards he was spotted romancing former Love Island star Kady McDermott, but their romance was short lived.
Sophie, who owns Sophie Laura Beauty in Nottingham, already has 19.3k Instagram followers, and is friends with Towie stars Chris Clark and Roman Hackett, as well as former Islander Lucinda Stafford.
She regularly shares glam pictures on social media from her various holidays, most recently to Dubai.
Matty, 24, has just signed a contract extension with Villa after a stand-out season.
The defender has scored three goals and provided four assists in 30 appearances across all competitions for Steven Gerrard‘s side.
He was in talks for a £40 million transfer to Atletico Madrid but has chosen to remain in the UK.
Matty, who switched nationalities to Polish last year, recently helped Poland qualify for the World Cup.
