Love Island's Paige Turley says superstar ex Lewis Capaldi is 'terrible with women'

Love Island newbie Paige Turley already has fans tongue-wagging - namely about her famous ex, Scottish musical extraordinaire Lewis Capaldi.

She's even thought to have inspired Lewis to put pen to paper to produce his No.1 hit Someone You Loved - which spent a staggering seven weeks in the top spot.

Despite the incredibly successful track - and album overall - Paige has no trouble in pouring scorn on her ex's ability with the ladies.

"He's terrible with women," she said candidly, "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.

"It was never like a moment where I could go, 'Oh, that was the turning point.'

"It was just friendship level and then..."

She made it clear that she and Lewis are still on good terms, despite splitting after a year a half together.

"Me and Lewis are still very, very friendly," Paige revealed, "You've seen his social media. He's a very witty, funny guy.

"So he'll probably make a total joke about it."

When addressing the song itself, Paige said that he's never told her that it was written about their time together.

Paige added: "He's never ever said to me, 'This is about you.'

"Obviously, it's a really relatable song, for everyone.

"He's great, he's so talented. Anybody listening to his music, it'd be hard to say anything negative."

Love Island isn't the blonde bombshell's first foray into the glitzy world of showbiz - she had a crack at winning over the Britain's Got Talent judges back in 2012.

Just 14 at the time, Paige made it to the semi-finals by belting out some absolute bangers, but was axed ahead of the finals.

Joining her in the villa are some pretty big personalities, including aristocrat Ollie Williams and twins Eve and Jess - who boast a famous admirer in the shape of Kylie Jenner's ex Tyga.
