Paige Turley breaks silence on returning to Love Island after split with Finn – as show brings back Kady McDermott
PAIGE Turley has revealed IF she would return to the Love Island villa just weeks after split from Finn Tapp.
The 25-year-old, who released her new single Lonely Tonight earlier today, called time on her relationship with the footballer, 23, in April.
Today it was revealed that Love Island 2015 star Kady McDermott, 27, is going back into the villa, one year after 2018 legend Adam Collard made an epic return to the show.
Now Paige – who won the winter series of Love Island alongside ex Finn three years ago – is now single… could she follow in their footsteps?
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Paige said: “No. Do you know what, I would only go back if it was my cast again I think!
“It would be a big holiday but I don’t think I’d be able to go back on just purely for the challenges…
“That food challenge has scared me! I don’t think I could do any type of food challenges.”
Paige and Finn shocked fans when they announced their split in April after three years.
Despite not being together, the former couple have left things on good terms and will always be fond of one another.
Paige said: “We’re still good friends, we’re still in touch a lot. It’s difficult when you come into this world together.
“You’re never really just going to break that off.
“We are always going to be each other’s support so that’s nice so we’ve still go each other in that aspect.”
However Paige confessed that at times it has been difficult.
“It’s been strange, obviously Finn and I were together for three and a bit years and lived together,” Paige told us.
“We were glued to the hip so there is some days where it is good and bad, just trying to readjust.
“I’m back in Scotland close to family and friends and they’ve been able to help out a lot.”
One thing that can keep her mind busy is her thriving singing career.
Before Paige appeared on Love Island, she appeared on Britain’s Got Talent when she was just 14 in 2012.
Her latest tune, Lonely Tonight ft. LEØN TARØ, came about after she attended a writing camp last year – and she ended up writing the song in a make-shift studio.
Speaking about the collaboration, Paige said: “Very very quickly we clicked and we ended up coming up with Lonely Tonight.
“There was never really ‘this is what I am going to write about’.
“I just kind of happened, maybe subconsciously.
“Then coming to the start of summer it was like ‘let’s release this tune!’
“It just came about really quickly. We wrote the song in about two hours, recorded the vocals and stuff in a make shift studio which was in fact a bedroom!”
When asked what inspired the meaning behind the song, Paige explained: “I don’t actually know. I can just remember getting the production down and I would start mumbling stuff…
“Then the words kind of fell into place! That doesn’t usually happen. Maybe subconsciously I was thinking about stuff, but I didn’t really go in and think ‘right… this is what I am writing about’ and this is what it means.
“It just really fell into place which is strange because a lot of times that doesn’t happen!”
Paige explained that it is different to her other songs, but it just felt right as it is a dance track.
The star hinted that later on in the year fans might be treated to some of her other music.
