Prior to their split, Mo did reveal that Sophie was a keen decorator at their home in London. He told previously The Sun: "A lot of [the interior decoration] will be my girlfriend's choice. She's been on Pinterest for years.
"I once bought a rug, she saw it, said it was horrible, and it's been rolled up ever since. I got it from Ikea. It was like an old Persian rug but had 'Keep Off' written on the pattern. I thought it was cool, but she hated it."
As of writing writing, it's thought that Mo is currently single with no sign of a girlfriend on social media.
