Paige claims Finn has been getting to know a co-star from the show (Image: Daily Record) Paige Turley has broken her silence on claims that she and her ex-partner Finn Tapp having a 'fake' break-up. The former couple announced their split in April last year, explaining two months later that they 'drifted' apart. The Scottish
Love Island star, 26, has since appeared on Ex On The Beach with Finn. Having had a spark, many fans slammed the pair and questioned if they split up at all. They first met on the 2020 winter Love Island series, and were crowned winners. Following the accusations, the West Lothian-born beauty has addressed the backlash whilst speaking to Josh Pieters and Archie Manners on Monday's Straight To The Comments! podcast. Josh read out a recent headline in the media which said the couple were 'slammed by fans for faking their breakup as they get back together on Ex on the Beach’ as his co-host Archie quickly chimed in. Quizzing Paige on their romance rumours, Archie said: "This is good. Your manager has done well here, she’s said ‘break up and we can get you a great telly gig’, and then you come back together and nothing happens. Is this true?"

Do you know how f***ing expensive removal men are? The money that I get from Ex on the Beach isn't even going to cover the one guy, and I needed three!" Join the Daily Record's

"But hold on, did you fake your breakup with Mr Finn Tapp?," asked Josh outright as Paige said: "No, I wish I did, to be honest – less traumatic!" Josh however wasn't buying it, as he said: "I'm not gonna lie, Paige, that wasn't the most convincing answer I've ever heard on this podcast." Paige continued: "But like, this is what I don't understand. How they can write this kind of stuff, where are they getting it from? Why would somebody pretend to break up? I think people think we're together now, let me rest assure, we're not." Top showbiz news Middletons 'can't pay' insolvency costs Inside Ant McPartlin's £6m home Ralf Little's 'replacement' on

Singer Paige was believed to have fled their Manchester home and gone home to West Lothian following the couple going their separate ways, whilst Finn also took a trip to the US to escape the noise. Speaking about the couple's split, a source told the Sun at the time: "Paige and Finn had a really good run, but they are still super young and decided it wasn’t forever in the end. Paige is spending some time back in
Scotland while she works out what she wants to do next." Get the latest celebrity gossip and telly news sent straight to your inbox. Sign up to our daily Showbiz newsletter here .
