Sophie confirmed she was losing her job
At the time, she said: "It's just sad, isn't it. It's just [expletive] for everybody. It's going to get even worse; more people are going to lose their jobs and things like that. It's just awful."
After being met with a flood of support, she later posted on Twitter: "Thank you so much for all the lovely messages tonight... it’s a tough time for everyone, but we’ve all just got to hang in there. Sending love to everyone, better days are coming."
