Revealing her "claim to fame", Paige said: "Lewis Capaldi is my ex boyfriend.
"We went out when we were younger, I was about 17 or 18.
"We were together for about a year. It ended really amicably and we’re still pals."
Following their split, devastated Lewis channelled his heartache into hit album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent.
Speaking previously about his inspiration for the record, he 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.”
