They are said to have dated for more than a year after meeting in college with things ending on a sour note after she reportedly cheated on him with his close friend. 

And Lewis Capaldi has revealed that his hit song Someone You Loved isn’t about his ex Paige Turley and is actually about his late grandmother.

Paige, 22, is currently on the winter series of Love Island and apologised to the singer, 23, for being a ‘b***h’ while referencing the track during her VT for the ITV2 series.

Yet despite it being reported that Someone You Loved is about Paige, Lewis has finally set the record straight.

Talking to V Music Australia, Lewis revealed: ‘The song is not about a lady who I was in a romantic relationship with, it’s about my grandmother, who is dead. F**k.

‘She died a few years ago, your classic death, do you know what I mean? Not coming back sort of thing.’

Lewis went on to explain that he was writing for his album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, and thought it was finished until he decided to write one more song.

He continued: ‘I was kind of writing for the album and I thought the album was finished and I had this little thing in my head like “you could try just doing one more”.  

‘And I did try and do one more for like three months and nothing was coming and then one day I sat at my piano, after the death, and I sat down and started messing around. 

‘That’s why the piano part’s so simple, because I can’t play anything else, bing bing bing bing, that’s it. I got all the melodies down for it but I couldn’t think of any lyrics, so I was like oh well, I’ll just wait for the second album and I’ll put it on the second album.’

He jokingly added: ‘Thank f**k I never did that, because my career would have been an absolute f**king tail spin. I would have flopped hard.

‘Then I went into a session with friends of mine called TMS and a guy called Romans and I was like: “I’ve got this but I can’t write another heartbreak ballad.” 

‘And as fortune had it, my gran had just died. As luck would have it, they said “Have you lost anybody?”, and I says “Just the ticket, my gran’s dead!”‘

The news will be an awkward revelation for Paige after she referenced the song during her VT for Love Island.

She confidently declared before entering the villa in January: ‘I’m Paige, I’m 22 and a singer from West Lothian. I’d describe myself as loud and flamboyant.

The reality star reportedly began dating Garry, 26, while she and Lewis, 23, were still together, despite her insistence that they dated years earlier, according to The Sun.

It comes after Paige told MailOnline that she and Lewis are still close pals, and she hopes he might vote for her during her time in the villa.

The source said: ‘Paige pretends to be a nice girl but within months of dating Lewis, she was cheating with Garry, one of his best friends.

‘Lewis adored Paige and, at that time, he would have done anything for her. But she obviously didn’t feel the same or she wouldn’t have betrayed him.

Confident: She confidently declared before entering the villa: 'One of my ex boyfriends is Lewis Capaldi. According to the papers his song Someone You Loved was about me. Lewis, I'm so sorry I must have been a b***h to you.'

‘Eventually, she dumped Lewis and began officially dating Garry instead, leaving Lewis absolutely devastated. He really thought they had a future.’

Representatives for Lewis, Garry and Love Island were contacted by MailOnline for comment at the time.

It comes after Paige insisted that she and Lewis dated years before she coupled up with Garry.

She told MailOnline: ‘That was actually a few years ago, when I was quite young.

‘Recently I’ve been on dates, but it hasn’t been anything serious. Gary was a few years ago, before Lewis.’
