She was firmly in the saddle, showing him a wild side far removed from her strait-laced image on the Channel 4 show.
Stanley told pals: “She knew exactly what she wanted. I was totally under her control.”
Ex-Royal Artillery officer Sophie, 34, and Stanley met as volunteers on the Myeloma London-Paris Ride in 2016.
A pal said: “They hit it off straight away. Stan was briefly a squaddie, so there was a lot of banter about him messing about with an officer.

“On the second night after a boozy dinner they were flirting and she said ‘He’s all talk, no trousers’ in front of the group.
“It appears he took her up on her challenge.”
Staff on the trip filmed the loved-up pair singing Queen hit Don’t Stop me Now.
Stanley mimed the lyric, “I’m a sex machine ready to reload” as Sophie rubbed his chest in the clip later put on YouTube.

The pal said: “She knew what she wanted and they certainly enjoyed each other’s company.
“Their group joked about every detail, especially as it was clear Stan wasn’t in control.
“Sophie may have come across as a bit of a vanilla on Bake Off but in truth she’s a real wild child.”
Their passion raged on after they returned from France.

They flirted over the phone and she visited Stanley’s flat in Worthing, West Sussex.
But it ended when Sophie fell for chef David Slattery, 24.
A pal said: “Stanley was crushed when Sophie explained about David. He thought he had meant something to her.”
Bike shop worker Stanley bumped into the couple at PMR@Toachim House cycling club’s bash in Kent last Christmas. A guest said: “Sophie and David were late and everyone cheered when they came in.

“Then they looked over at Stanley. He and David didn’t speak all night.
Stanley’s pal added: “He was pleased when Sophie won Bake Off but he’s still annoyed she ended up with David.”
This week The Sun told how Sophie is being probed for benefit fraud. She allegedly claimed single-person’s allowance while sharing a two-bed flat with David in Surrey. She denies any wrongdoing.
Stanley refused to comment on the fling yesterday. Sophie’s spokeswoman did not respond.
