After all her past problems, you would think that Sophie Anderton would have developed a sixth sense for trouble.

It seems not. The model has lost one of her long-standing contracts after she was photographed using cocaine and offering sex for money in a News of the World sting operation.

She has represented fake-tan company Fake Bake since 2005. Not any more. A spokesperson for the company said that they have been “forced to terminate” her £100,000 a year contract in light of the allegations.

According to the newspaper, Sophie Anderton offered the undercover journalist sex for £10,000 and offered to supply a female friend for a threesome for extra money.

The model, who was wearing only underwear at the time, claimed she needed the money to pay for her new home in Notting Hill. “I’m great at sex. I’ll look great on your ******* arm. I’m a supermodel. I just think short term, and at the end of the day nobody gets hurt.”

Fame claims many lives. Its corrosive effects are demonstrated in the stories of many who make it as well as those who don’t.

One thing’s for sure, when celebrities go off the rails, they crash and burn big time.
