Love Island 2020: Lewis Capaldi’s ex-girlfriend Paige Turley signs up for new series
LEWIS Capaldi's former girlfriend has signed up for the latest series of Love Island.
The Sun revealed last year that the pop sensation’s No1 ballad Someone You Loved was based on a painful break-up from fellow singer Paige Turley.
And sources last night confirmed that the pretty former Britain’s Got Talent contestant will be among the cast trying to find love on the ITV2 show.
One told me: “Paige is looking for love, and so when the team from Love Island approached her, she decided to take up the opportunity.
“Thanks to Lewis’s music, her relationship past has won her an awful lot of attention. So now she wants her relationship present to be in the spotlight.
“She is very excited about Love Island and is hoping she’ll find her perfect man.”
Lewis dated Paige — who appeared on BGT when she was just 14 — on and off from 2014 to 2016 after they met at college in Motherwell and became close.
After they finally split up, the devastated star channelled his heartbreak into hit album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent.
Speaking previously about the inspiration for the record, Lewis said: “I met a lady. She was very nice. I loved her. I loved the look of her and I loved how she spoke.
“We dated for a year and a half, then she left me. Then I wrote an album about it and I still think about it every day.”
And despite Lewis’s decision to remain tight-lipped about his former girlfriend’s identity, sources later named Paige as the ex who inspired him.
While she is now seeking love on television in a villa in South Africa, Lewis has launched his own campaign to discover romance on several online dating apps.
Let’s hope they both find the matches they are looking for.
