On June 11, 2023, Paige joined best pal Shaughna Phillips on Love Island's Aftersun, where she opened up about the split for the first time.

Host Maya Jama asked her: "Paige, sadly you and Finn did break-up recently, can we ask what happened? Is it a secret?"

The Paige replied: "No no, we're still good friends, I think we drifted apart.

"We did lockdown together, any struggle that we could have faced, we were facing.

"It was tough, but we are still good friends."

Maya then asked: "Are you looking now?" to which Paige confirmed she was happily single and taking a break from the dating scene.

She said: "Oh no, not for a while.

"But if he [Finn] was back in then there'd be trouble — we're not having an Adam Collard bombshell situation."

Maya added: "So he's banned from being a bombshell," with newly single Paige replying: "Yeah... yeah."

Speaking about the breakup, a exclusive source told The Sun: “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.”

When is Paige Turley on Celebrity Ex On The Beach?

After being filmed in the summer of 2023, Celebrity Ex on the Beach will air in March 2024.

Finn came face to face with Paige on the MTV reality dating show, and while there were no hard feelings, it was still a little tense on set.

A TV insider told The Sun: "There are some Love Island exes who would never wish to share the screen with each other ever again.

"These two aren't like that — their split actually seemed almost friendly — but it's still going to be awkward being on another reality show together again.

"Maybe we'll see romance, though I probably wouldn't hold my breath."
