Love Island’s Paige Thorne enjoys romantic break with footballer Liam Cullen as relationship heats up

LOVE Island star Paige Thorne proved things are hotting up with footballer Liam Cullen as the pair enjoyed a weekend away together.

The new couple headed to a luxury resort in Wales – and things are going so well that he’s already met all the family.

An insider said: “Paige and Liam are getting on really well so decided to go away with some family and friends.

“Liam has fitted right in with Paige’s family and everyone agrees they really suit each other.”

Paramedic Paige, 25, teased followers during her stay in one of the Hunter lodges at Celtic Manor Resort by posing in her bikini in hot tub.

Liam, who plays for Swansea, also shared snaps during his stay as he played golf at the five stay resort’s award winning golf course with his teammate Joel Latibeaudiere,

The group’s lodge boasts four en-suite bedrooms, a huge living space, a sauna and hot tub – and is the perfect setting for a private getaway.

Paige and Liam were first linked when they were pictured together at a Thorpe park Fright Night at Halloween and Paige has since been seen in the stands watching Liam, 23, play in Swansea.

Paige has been single since her painful split from Love Island ex Adam Collard.

Discussing the romance ending amid cheating rumours, Paige said: "I'm not going to bash him by any means because I think he had a really hard time when our break up came out.

"They [videos] were really shady. I was not comfortable with it and that's really not a relationship I want to be in."

She added: "I want to be 100 per cent certain my guy is only for me."

The paramedic didn't have the easiest time in the villa with her other ex Jacques O'Neill, who was accused of gaslighting her.
