Rochelle said: ‘I did actually, I met my sister’s new boyfriend for the first time.’
Anti quipped: ‘Is that your sister who was on Love Island?’, Rochelle laughed: ‘It is, yes’.
Andi said: ‘You met… Josh?
Rochelle added: ‘I know, because I was like is it serious? Like how do these things work? I can’t talk to her whilst she’s in a villa so I’m like “yeah but, do you actually like him?” And then she said, “can I bring him over on Sunday?”‘
‘So I met him, yeah. I cooked a roast dinner, he didn’t eat any of it so I’m going to try not to take that as an insult’, she joked.
During Sophie and Josh’s interview during the Love Island final Maya Jama, Josh shared that he full intends to ask Sophie to be his girlfriend, but insisted he wanted to introduce her to his family and friends first.
And now the couple have introduced each other to their family, it seems they’ve taken their relationship to the next step.
Sophie and her sister Lili did not meet her famous older sister Rochelle properly for the first time until she was 18.

The sisters grew up separately and ended up connecting through fellow Love Islander Kem Cetinay.
Rochelle’s father Mark Piper left her and her mother Roz Wiseman when the star was just three years old.
He went on to have three more children, Sophie, Lili and Jake, with his new partner.
By pure coincidence, Kem went to school with Lili and approached Rochelle at an event after he found fame on Love Island.
Rochelle recalled the meeting during an appearance on Giovanna Fletcher’s Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast.
She said: ‘I’ve never told anyone this before. Two years ago, I was at our management’s Christmas party and Love Island’s Kem was there.
‘He was chatting away and said, ‘I got to talk to you… as soon as I became a celeb, I promised my friend Lili that I would talk to you as she’s your sister on your dad’s side.’
‘I knew of her and met up with her when I was five, but it was so complicated as they were a lot younger and my dad wasn’t involved.’

Sophie previously spoke to MailOnline about getting back in touch with Rochelle, saying: ‘There was a period where we weren’t in contact.
‘It was weird growing up not knowing Rochelle but since we have spoken we speak every day so it is nice all of us being in each other’s lives now.
‘My middle sister Lili went to school with Kem so that’s how we know him. Obviously he was at the same school as me. It’s funny how it’s all linked together.’
