Love Island winner Paige Turley rules out giving ex Lewis Capaldi cut of £25k winnings

Love Island winner Paige Turley won’t be giving her ex-boyfriend Lewis Capaldi a cut of her £25k prize money as she’s insisted there won’t be any left after she’s paid off her debts.

The singer, who recently stormed the Brit Awards 2020 with two gongs, joked last month that he deserves some of her winnings as he was the reason she nabbed a spot on the ITV2 dating programme.

However, Paige made it clear that she won’t be sharing it as she’ll quickly burn through the lot, and said: ‘That’s just Lewis, it comes as no surprise he said that.

‘But I can’t give him any money because once I pay off my debts there’ll be nothing left.’

Paige, who won Love Island with boyfriend Finley Tapp, also addressed Lewis’ comments that his song Someone You Loved wasn’t written about her but about his late nan.

She continued to The Sun: ‘Lewis has never told me what the songs were about so if he said it was about his nan, then it was.’

Back in January, Lewis spoke out on his ex-girlfriend entering the winter edition of Love Island, and while he wishes he had a heads up, he is supporting Paige all the way.

Speaking on The Edge in New Zealand, the 23-year-old said: ‘I’ve known her for years. 18 when we first met, 19 when we started going out, 20 when we finished going out. It was very amicable, the split.’

He added: ‘The prize is like 50 grand. I’ll be like, “well, listen… they asked you to go on it, right… I’m not saying I’m the reason. But also, slide me two grand”.’

Love Island is set to return to ITV2 in the summer.
