Love Island winner in talks for All Stars series just weeks after heartbreaking split with ex
ONE of Love Island’s winners is in talks to sign for ITV’s All Stars series just weeks after her heartbreaking split from her villa ex.
The Sun can reveal that Winter Love Island champion Paige Turley is set to appear, fresh from her break-up with Finn Tapp.
The loved-up pair seemed rock solid after winning the Cape Town edition of the dating show in 2020 before being plunged straight into lockdown.
But in June they revealed they had split after growing apart.
Now Paige, who famously once dated international popstar Lewis Capaldi, is ready to look for new love on Maya Jama’s show.
A source said: “Paige was an incredibly popular Islander who went through a real journey in the villa. She got off to a rocky start when the lad she was coupled with, Ollie Williams, was kicked out the villa when his trophy hunting past was uncovered.

“But she immediately hit it off with Finn when he arrived as a bombshell and despite their age difference, they went from strength to strength and viewers loved following their journey on the outside too.
“Everyone was sad to hear they had split but watching Paige back out on the dating scene will make for a great storyline in the star-spangled villa - especially given she’ll be back out in South Africa where she first fell for Finn.”
An ITV spokesman said: “No Islanders have been confirmed for the forthcoming series of Love Island: All Stars at this stage.”
ITV announced All Stars in September after months of speculation a star-spangled edition would run to celebrate ten years of the dating behemoth.
