Paige Turley said lockdown contributed to the end of her three-year relationship with Finley Tapp while appearing on Sunday's instalment Love Island: After Sun.

The Scottish singer, 25, who won the first ever Winter series of the show in South Africa back in 2020 with her Recruitment Consultant ex Finn, 23, reflected on their separation during the first episode of the series. 

Paige, who looked incredible in a black cut out dress for the ITV2 appearance, insisted the pair are 'still good friends'. 

Speaking to host Maya Jama, she said: 'We're still really good friends. I think we drifted apart. We did lockdown together and any and every struggle we could have faced we were faced with.'

Paige insisted: 'We are still good friends'. 

Maya went on to ask the blonde beauty if she is looking for a new partner yet, the singer added: 'No, no, not for a while'. 

Paige appeared on the spin-off show alongside former co-star Shaughna Phillips who joked 'she's the new bombshell' heading into the villa.  

Paige replied: 'No I'm not but if he [Finn] goes in there he will be in trouble, we're not having an Adam Collard bombshell again'. 

Previously the couple explained that the Covid-19 restrictions actually benefited them during a chat with MailOnline earlier this year.

'Covid helped us because we got to spend that time together without being pulled from pillar to post. We had a mad three weeks when we came out before lockdown and the quality time that you spend with each other is quite limited,' shared Finn.

Continuing: 'So, I think a good bit of advice is to try and make sure everything that is happening around you doesn't affect you getting that quality time with whoever you come out with'.

The duo are said to have realised they 'weren't forever', according to claims last month, and had allegedly already moved out of their shared Manchester home, with Paige heading back to Scotland while Finn spends time travelling.

The news came from The Sun, with insiders claiming: 'Paige and Finn had a really good run, but they are still super young and decided it wasn't forever in the end.'

Adding that they are living separately, they continued: 'Paige is spending some time back in Scotland while she works out what she wants to do next.'

MailOnline contacted representatives of Paige and Finn for comment at the time.

In April, Paige shared snaps from Scotland as she attended a horse racing event at Ayr Racecourse - with it being unclear whether she was just visiting or has relocated.

While Finn shared snaps from  West Hollywood as he spent time visiting the US.

In March, they enjoyed a skiing holiday together, with the last grid Instagram post of the pair together coming on March 20 from Finn.

They met in South Africa during the first ever installment of Love Island's winter series, going on to win the show and bag a £50,000 cash prize.

But interrupted by the spread of Covid-19, they were plunged into life in lockdown upon leaving the villa - spending time in Paige's home county of West Lothian.

They later relocated to Manchester and lived in the city since, sharing a lavish apartment together.
