Paige Turley, the winner of Love Island Season 6 once dated singer Lewis Capaldi and claimed to have inspired one of his biggest hit songs. Here’s everything you need to know about the Islander.

Paige joined Love Island Season 6 on Day 1 and paired up with Islander Ollie Williams. However, when Ollie left the season entirely, Paige ended up with Finley Tapp.

The pair ended up staying together till the end and won themselves a cash prize of £50,000. After going off cameras, Paige and Finn dated for 3 years and even bought an apartment together in Manchester.

Their split came in June 2023 and Paige told Maya Jama, the host of Love Island, that the split was amicable.”We’re still really good friends. I think we drifted apart. We did lockdown together and any and every struggle we could have faced, we were faced with.”

Paige Turley was not Lewis Capaldi’s inspiration

During the opening of her season on Love Island, Paige claimed that Lewis Capaldi’s hit single Someone You Loved was inspired by her.

She said: “One of my ex-boyfriends is actually Lewis Capaldi. We dated for a year. According to the papers, the song Someone You Loved was about me. Lewis I’m so sorry, I must have been a b***h to you.”

A few weeks after that Lewis opened up about Paige’s claim on a radio show called The Edge. He said, “Contrary to popular belief, a lot of people think this song is about my ex-girlfriend, who you can now see every night on Love Island. But it’s actually about my grandmother who has sadly passed away a few years ago.”

Before her time on Love Island, Paige appeared on Britain’s Got Talent at the age of 14. After breaking up with Finn, Paige returned to her family house in Scotland where she is working as a musician, influencer, and model.
