CHLOE Ferry’s Celebs Go Dating co-star Sophie Hermann has revealed her pal is a secret history buff.

And Sophie said she’s seen another side to Chloe completely removed from the drunken sweary antics of Geordie Shore.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun as she backs Extra gum’s Get Your Ding Back campaign, Sophie said: “We basically built up a whole nail spa in my room and Chloe came up for regular baths and face masks, and we talked about Catherine of Aragon all night long. Stuff like this is left out because they just couldn’t cover it in my room.

“I was so completely astonished, and sometimes lost for words, by the things that came out of Chloe’s mouth, in a positive way, because she really stuns you. Sometimes she comes out with the most clever remarks. Honestly, Chloe is like one of my best friends now.”

Catherine of Aragon was King Henry VIII’s first wife, and the pair were married for 20 years.

During their relationship, Henry became infatuated with his second wife Anne Boleyn and was hopeful she would be able to give him a son.

His quest to divorce Catherine would change the church forever. Pope Clement VII, and as a result the Catholic Church, was unwilling to grant him a divorce, so Henry went on to form the Church of England, of which he became head, and continued with the separation without papal consent.

As part of Extra’s campaign Sophie has imparted some of her top dating tips for Gen Z singletons – people aged 18-24.

She encouraged them to find their ‘inner Hermannator’, have self-confidence, and stay true to themselves.

She said: “2020 has been the bleakest year for dating, at least in my book, it was an incredible tough year for everyone that’s why Extra’s mission to get your ding back is really welcome in this new year.”
