Sophia wrote: "Hey guys it’s @hutchins_sophia While @caitlynjenner is in the jungle for @imacelebrity we are all rooting her on here in the USA!! Go CAITLYN!!
"We all can’t wait for you to get your phone back (and win this challenge)! xoxo."
Earlier this week Sophia said she wanted to rescue tearful Caitlyn as she admitted it was "gut wrenching" to watch her struggle with life in the jungle.
The US reality star, 70, has been subjected to two Bushtucker Trials on I'm A Celeb already and broke down in tears on Monday, questioning what she was doing in the jungle.

University graduate Sophia broke her silence and said she had been ready to mount a rescue mission and confront producers.
She chatted to Lorraine Kelly on Wednesday and said: "It hasn't been easy to watch at all when there is someone who is across the globe you kind of feel helpless to begin with.
"When you throw in these challenges and she is crying, it has been gut wrenching to watch.
"The producers take away everyone's phones so we don't have any way to contact her. It's tough ...

"Listen, when I saw that video of her crying, I was ready to get on a plane and go down to Australia to figure out what is going on because this wasn't the Caitlyn (I know)."
Sophia added: "I wanted to call the producers and say 'no more snakes, no more bugs' but we knew what they were signing up for."
Caitlyn has already appeared in I'm A Celebrity in the US in 2003 before she transitioned into a woman, and she came in fourth place.
Addressing her decision to sign up again Sophia, who is also a trans woman, revealed Caitlyn was up for the challenge.

However, she reckons the UK version is a lot more demanding after seeing Caitlyn put through the ringer.
She said: "They reached out earlier this year and Caitlyn had done it before in early 2000s, so she kind of felt she knew what she was signing up for.
"But I think the British version of this show is a lot harder than the US version. Or it's more challenging for Caitlyn. Maybe because it's been 15 years."

On Monday, The Sun Online reported how Cait's daughter Kendall and Kylie Jenner, as well as her step-daughters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, had failed to show their support for the reality TV star's feat on their social media.
Sophia is also a transgendered woman and ventured into business, coming up with an odourless SPF 50+ sunscreen mist that can be applied after make-up.
Hutchins had high praise for her partner when she conducted an interview on The Hidden Truth saying: "We’re partners in everything we do, we’re inseparable, we’re business partners, we live together, we share a dog, we share family, we share a life together."
