Caitlyn Jenner has already proven to be a hit with I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! fans, thanks to her no-nonsense attitude to trials and willingness to chat about her famous family.

The Olympic gold medallist and transgender activist is one of the world's most recognisable people, thanks to both her sports career and her many appearances on the TV behemoth that is Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Jenner, 70, is rumoured to be dating the 23-year-old model Sophia Hutchins and speculation is high that the two have got engaged.

So who is Sophia Hutchins and how did she meet Caitlyn Jenner? Here's all you need to know...

Who is Sophia Hutchins?

Sophia Hutchins is a 23-year-old aspiring model and entrepreneur who has developed an SPF 50+ sunscreen which is designed to be applied to the skin after putting on makeup.

Dubbed Lumasol, the product is set to hit stores next year.

Hutchins, who graduated from Pepperdine University in 2018 with a degree in economics and finance, is also a transgender woman and had recently begun transitioning when she met Jenner.

How did they meet?

The two women are thought to have met a few years ago through their shared hairdresser, and began dating shortly afterwards.

Hutchins has previously said the pair are "partners in everything we do" but also denied their relationship is romantic.

Jenner has also said they are "inseparable", but again has been coy about whether they are a couple.

Are they engaged?

The two are regularly pictured together, and Sophia often updates her online followers with pictures inside Jenner's home, and engagement rumours have circulating over the past year.

While neither of them have confirmed if they are set to tie the knot soon, Hutchins appears to have hinted it's not too far off.

When asked if she had got engaged by a fan, she replied online: "I'll show you the ring when I am". She also replied to another question with an emoji of two bridges side-by-side.

How does she think Caitlyn is getting on in I'm A Celeb?

Hutchins appeared on Lorraine on Wednesday morning to discuss how Jenner is getting on - and admitted she is worried about the reality star's stint in the jungle.

Speaking about the Bushtucker Trail she said: "“It hasn’t been easy to watch at all. When someone is across the globe, you kind of feel helpless to begin with and when you throw in all of these challenges and you see her crying it’s just been gut-wrenching."

Hutchins added that it was tough not being able to communicate with Jenner and that she wants to "say no more snakes and no more bugs".

She said: "When I saw her crying the first night, I was just in shock. Everyone that knows her who I’ve spoken with was sending me these messages saying, ‘Is she ok, this isn’t the Caitlyn we know?’ The Caitlyn we know is super excited, super positive, super energetic, rarely sheds a tear. So we were all freaked out by that."
