Rochelle Humes says first meeting with Josh Ritchie left her feeling 'insulted'
Rochelle Humes has confirmed she's finally met her sister Sophie Piper's partner Josh Ritchie following the couple's return to the UK after appearing on Love Island: All Stars.
Sophie, 25, met Josh, 29, in the villa on the ITV2 spin-off, which was filmed in South Africa. They reached the final but during the series there had been concern about the relationship, including that Josh wasn't as invested as Sophie.
Her older sister Rochelle, 34, seemed apprehensive when she spoke to Sophie on a video call whilst the latter was in the villa. She asked at the time: "Josh then, is it a real thing? I can't tell with you." Sophie told her older sibling: "Roch, can you not tell how I've been?" to which Rochelle replied, "I know that you like him. But I'm not sure on the [level]. I'm warming to him way more now than I was at the start."
Earlier this week, Rochelle gave an update on their romance whilst co-hosting This Morning with Andi Peters, 53. The presenter shared that she had met Josh for the first time just days ago after her colleague Andi asked her: "How was your weekend?"

Sunday [I had] family over for dinner." Andi questioned: "Meet anybody new this weekend?" His co-host responded on the ITV show: "I did, actually. I met my sister's new boyfriend for the first time."

Andi teased: "Is that your sister who was on Love Island? You met Josh?" Rochelle said: "I know, cause I was kinda like 'is it serious?' Like how do these things work? I can't talk to her while she's in a villa. So I'm like 'yeah but do you actually like him?' And then she said 'can I bring him over on Sunday?'"
She continued: "So I met him, yeah." Rochelle added that she cooked a roast dinner but teased that Josh didn't eat it. The former hitmaker revealed: "I cooked a roast dinner, he didn't eat any of it so I'm gonna try not to take that as an insult."
Andi teased: "Josh, I've got to say - I've been round and I wouldn't eat it either." Amid some laughter in the studio, Rochelle reacted to him: "And there you go, I thought my roast potatoes were good. Apparently not so much."
It was then suggested by Andi that he hadn't realised that Rochelle's sister was going back into the villa initially. His co-host teased that Sophie looks like she did 20 years ago, before changing the subject saying: "Shall we move on?"
Following their stint in the villa, Sophie and Josh shared a joint post on Instagram in which they teased their future. Alongside some photos of them, the pair wrote: "Just the beginning. Thank you so much to everyone that has supported us throughout our journey honestly it means the world." They added: "On [cloud emoji] nine."
