Love Island winner Paige Turley's Glasgow work pals 'so proud' of their girl

Glasgow's Paige Turley has won the first ever winter Love Island.

She was crowned champ alongside Finn Tapp, who revealed he couldn't resist the 22-year-old's Scottish sense of humour.

Lewis Capaldi's ex and her new man headed off a challenge from bookies' favourite Siannise Fudge and Luke Trotman to bag the £50,000 top prize.

Speaking to the show's host Laura Whitmore in South Africa, Paige - who moved to Glasgow from her native West Lothian - said: "It's been such an amazing experience".

And the news delighted the couple's army of fans, including Paige's workmates at Forty Clothing in Royal Exchange Square.

In a tweet last night the company said: "We’re so proud of our girl and Finley Tapp on winning Love Island. Congrats and can’t wait to see you back in bonnie Scotland!"

And a superfan posting as Aliciaadoresariana added: "Yes, yes, yes, my fave couple has won Love Island 2020.

"Congratulations, words can’t explain how proud I am. When you both first met and how far you've come since then. Gonna miss your happiness together on TV, excuse me I'm crying."

But another young fan seemed put out at news the couple may settle in Manchester, pointing out: "Wait. Why are Paige and Finn moving to Manchester?

"What is happening in Manchester? I thought he lived in Milton Keynes and she in Glasgow? Why did they pick Manchester? Someone balance me".

Paige is the show's first Scottish winner, and admitted to Finn: "You brought out a side to me that no-one has ever seen."

Laura dedicated the final to her pal, and former show host, Caroline Flack, who she said "loved Love Island".
