Becoming a radio star

In 2016, Sonny started his broadcasting career at a local radio station in Brentford, called Phoenix FM.

Sonny then got his big break when it was announced he was joining the Capital Breakfast Show team alongside Roman Kemp and Vick Hope.

Since 2023, he has presented The Capital Late Show.

Winning Dancing On Ice

Speaking about his big win Sonny said: "That is mental, thank you so much," gushed Sonny.

"I wanted to come out of this competition being able to skate with a beer in my hand –- now I can do that and I've won the whole thing! 

“I feel like I've completed life."

Meeting Danielle Peazer

In 2023, Sonny started dating dancer and fitness influencer Danielle Peazer.

His girlfriend famously used to date the late Liam Payne.

After the One Direction star sadly died, Danielle revealed that he had given his “blessing” to her new relationship.

In a heartfelt tribute to Liam, she wrote: “Receiving a message from you a couple of weeks ago expressing your happiness for the love I found with Sonny and Mia is something I'll cherish forever.”

Before meeting Danielle, Sonny was engaged to Lauren Faith.

However, the pair split in 2022, after she moved to LA to focus on her career.

An insider told us at the time: "Sonny and Lauren have called off the wedding.

"It's been a busy time for both of them since Sonny won Dancing on Ice and Lauren's music producing started taking off.

"They're both determined to focus on their careers and were struggling to make the long-distance work as Lauren spent months in Los Angeles, while Sonny worked in London.

"They both want a fresh start and have wiped each other off of their social media pages."

Baby joy

In May 2024, Sonny and Danielle welcomed a daughter together, Mia.

Announcing their baby news, they both posted: “And then there were 3…She’s here and she’s perfect.”

Speaking about becoming a dad, Sonny told : "It’s surprised me how Danielle and I have just kicked into being parents. I find it so odd how one day you're not a parent and then suddenly you've just got this massive responsibility. 

“The only thing genuinely that I found so difficult is being up in the night feeding.

“Doing a night feed and not falling asleep - I'm literally shaking my head trying to do everything.
