And while her close pal Oscar Gordon was unable to attend the festivities, Sophie made sure he was included and shared an image of him FaceTime-ing the star.

‘When you’re [sic] best friend can’t make it,’ she wrote. 

Unknown however, was the whereabouts of Sophie’s boyfriend Stu, who she met on the Channel Ten dating show.

While it’s possible Stu may have been yet to arrive at the party, the couple have consistently been plagued by break-up rumours over the past few months.

However, this week it seems as though Stu and Sophie may have finally put speculation to rest as they were spotted out and about together in New South Wales’ Central Coast.

The outing comes after Woman’s Day previously reported several weeks ago that the pair had split over ‘jealousy issues’ 

‘Stu couldn’t cope with the fact no one was really interested in him,’ a source reportedly told the magazine.

‘He felt he was constantly fighting to even get a word in, because all the attention was on Sophie. He found it a big blow to his ego.’
