Winter Love Island is getting ready to kick off on Sunday, with a whole new roster of contestants on the lookout for love.
One of the beauties heading into the South African villa is former Britain’s Got Talent star Paige Turley .
As well as appearing on the popular talent show, Paige’s other claim to fame is that she dated singing sensation Lewis Capaldi, 23.
Paige, 22, is also thought to have inspired Capaldi’s number one smash hit Someone You Loved, which spent an eye-watering seven weeks at the top spot.

“He’s terrible with women,”
“He never had a chat-up line as such, as we went through college together.”
“I kind of just fell into it. It was never like he tried to chat me up or such. It just kind of happened quite naturally.”
She continued to The Sun: “It was never like a moment where I could go, ‘Oh, that was the turning point.’
“It was just friendship level and then…”

Paige said in the chat ahead of the launch show that the pair of them are still on good terms, following their year-and-a-half long relationship.
Lewis was reported to have been “madly in love” with Paige.
Paige also said of Lewis “Lewis Capaldi is my ex-boyfriend. We went out when we were younger, I was about 17 or 18.
“We were together for about a year. It ended really amicably and we’re still pals.”

Lewis also reportedly penned his number one album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent about his former flame, and admitted he still thinks about their relationship “every day”.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: “I met a lady.
“She was very nice. I loved her. I loved the look of her and I loved how she spoke.
“We dated for a year-and-a-half, then she left me. Then I wrote an album about it and I still think about it every day.”
