3rd December: Sophie appeared on radio show 'Core control' which is aired across a number of stations across the country. She was interviewed by DJ's 'Kam and Sally'. The main topic of conversation was of course Sophie's pregnancy which made a nice change from the usual questions of 'Blue Peter' and 'injured hamsters'! Sophie performed two live acoustic versions of her hits 'I Won't Change You' and then 'Murder on the Dancefloor'. 5th December: Sophie was interviewed on ITV1's morning show GMTV. She was asked how she was going with the pregnancy. Sophie said that she was experiencing some morning sickness and the interviewer pointed out her 'designer bump'. Sophie said that she would try not to makeover her wardrobe too much (but that could all change!)
