The ex-Army officer, 34, may face a ticking off as everyone has to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Sophie, of Surrey, made her admission after judge Prue Leith’s pre-show tweet in which she let slip Sophie’s success.

She said: “One hundred or so people already know because contestants invite friends and family to the picnic. Some will sneakily place a bet.”

Love Productions, who make the Channel 4 hit, said it had received no proof of confidentiality breaches but would take any evidence “seriously”
