Paige Turley 'heads back to West Lothian' after split with Love Island boyfriend

Love Island winners Paige Turley and Finley Tapp have reportedly called it quits after three years since meeting on the ITV show.

Singer Paige, 25, is said to have already moved out of the home she shared with former footballer Finley, 23.

The couple lived in an apartment together in Manchester, but the Scottish reality TV star is believed to have headed back to her home town, reports the Mirror.

Finley is currently on holiday in America with his influencer friends, whilst Paige is said to be hanging out with her pals back home.

“Paige and Finn had a really good run, but they are still super young and decided it wasn’t forever in the end.

“Paige is spending some time back in Scotland while she works out what she wants to do next," a source told the Sun.

The loved up couple won the first ever winter Love Island series in South Africa back in 2020 and swiftly moved into together on their return.

They experienced the Covid-19 lockdown together, which they said helped their relationship to grow closer and Finley even got a tattoo of Paige's name.

Last year fans feared they had broken up after they failed to post about each other online or weren’t seen out in public together for a few months.

After fans speculating a split, Paige hit back saying: “I'm not being funny, if I get one more message going 'Where's Finn? Where's Finn?'“

She then jokingly added: “I hope he's still in the cage in the living room where I left him. Or at least he f****** should be.“

The Mirror has contacted Paige and Finley's representatives for comment.

Paige and Finn's love story began just weeks before the world shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic beginning at the start of 2020 - meaning the new couple faced some unprecedented challenges at the start of their relationship.

But the two stars thought the lockdowns gave them a great basis to get to know each other without being distracted from showbiz parties and star-studded events.

"When we came out into the press debrief, they said to us 'this has come out, this and this etc' and then 'also, one more thing - there's a thing called Covid' but [implied] it was just a cold and that was kind of it until three weeks later [when lockdowns began]," Paige told the Mirror.

"It was like 'there's a dangerous killer virus called Covid' and we were like 'shut up - who called me ugly online?' " Finn jokingly added as he and Paige laughed.

"You just want to see the funniest memes about you."

In August of 2021, Finley wore his love for Paige on his sleeve as he decided to get her name inked.

Her name was placed next to a tattoo of a butterfly surrounded by clouds in a picture shared on his Instagram Stories.

"Early birthday present for Paigey," he wrote.

He also stood in front of the mirror to better show off his arm.He said: "So I'm back, finally finishing off my arm and Paigey, early birthday present, there ya go girl!"

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror in 2020, Finn revealed: "Marriage is definitely something we want to do and I guess it's just down to me now to pull my finger out.

"I think it takes a lot of planning and I'm not the most organised person so it will take me quite a while to think about how I'm going to do this."
