The loved-up pair were the first couple to win the winter version of Love Island at the start of 2020.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun about her plans to tie the knot, she joked: “You’ll have to ask Finn that question, not from my side.
"We were hoping that next year we will buy a house, the likelihood is somewhere in the Manchester area, so we’re looking forward to that first."
Paige, 23, recently hinted about a possible proposal from Finn, the Scottish beauty opened up about taking the next step in their relationship after seeing a bride and groom go ahead with their wedding plans in lockdown in their hometown of Manchester.

Finn has already told how he's eager to get down on one knee with a ring for his other half.
After leaving the show they moved in with Paige's parents in Scotland for lockdown before renting their own flat in Manchester.
She added: "First and foremost is to buy a house together and to go on holidays and see a bit of the world. It’s been amazing moving in together, we settled in so well in Manchester.
“He’s good at cooking, so I’ve not got any complaints. As soon as our relationship began we were living together, people tend to find it’s a shock when they move in together because they never really had it but we’re just going from strength to strength.”

The reality beauty also confirmed that she is set to make her music comeback next summer after recording her first album.
Paige has been working on her music throughout lockdown and plans to make her mark on the music industry.
She said she was excited to be back in the studio and is thrilled to share the album with her fans next year.
The blonde beauty revealed: “I’ve been working hard on original stuff; it won’t be out until next year summertime.

“Restrictions have made it a bit harder so hopefully by then we will be able to have some of that original stuff out.”
Paige first showed off her impressive lungs when she made it to the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent in 2012 by singing Birdy's Skinny Love.
During her time in the Love Island villa, the talented Islander performed Show Me Love during Love Island's talent show.
She said there will be a mixture upbeat tunes along with some honest and open tracks that will show off her incredible range.

The Scottish beauty added: “Music is the only thing I’ve ever known, hopefully I’ll be back performing live soon in an ideal world but we’ll have to wait and see what happens. I’d love to collaborate with Stormzy.”
Paige’s fans won’t have to wait long as she has already released a festive cover of classic Happy Xmas, War Is Over by John Lennon.
After the turbulent year the nation has faced, Paige said she hopes this will bring some light and a moment of reflection as we head into the festive period.
The loved-up pair plan to spend Christmas in Scotland this year with Paige’s family.

The talented singer said: “This song has always been one of my favourite Christmas songs, this year especially with everything that has happened.
“Me and Finn now live in England, I was unsure whether I was going to see my family for Christmas time.
"I think this year Christmas has got a bit more sentimental because it’s a time for family, I wanted to do something that lifts Christmas spirits a bit."
Paige’s version of ‘Happy Xmas, War Is Over’ by John Lennon is available to view on her YouTube channel with 100 per cent of all revenue and proceeds from the video being donated to Action for Children.

She said: “I’ve worked with Action for Children earlier on in the year, it’s for young people and children. They are such a lovely charity, it’s nice to use my platform to highlight those who need help and come together.”
