The show saw Sophie signing off the dole for the first time in her life as she made big plans to start her dreams become a reality.
Despite spending a large sum of the money on ensuring her business will be a success, Sophie was also keen to treat her family with the money she was given.
After she spent £147 on stocking up the fridge with sweet treats and food, Sophie’s children revealed: “I’ve never seen the freezer so full, ever.”
She said: “I would have never been able to do that before.
“The cupboards have never been this full; it’s a really wonderful feeling.”
Despite having big dreams for her business ventures Sophie revealed she was worried about people not buying her designs.
The determined mum said: “I think the clothes will sell, but it’s still a scary thought, ‘What if they don’t’, then I’ve just wasted money.
“I’m going to cry, it makes me feel really good.
