Lewis Capaldi has opened up about his break up from Love Island winner Paige Turley.
The Someone You Loved hitmaker claims that reality TV babe Paige branded him “revolting” before calling time on their relationship.
The Scottish singer chatted on iheartRadio live stream with host Ryan Seacrest about the inspiration behind his hit song Hold Me While You Wait, which he recently confirmed was written about his former flame Paige, 22.
Lewis, 23, explained: “It’s a song about a lady who I was in a relationship with and it was going smooth, as smooth as you can imagine, as smooth as a ski slope.
“And one day, she said, ‘Lewis, can I have a quick word?, and I said, ‘Of course, my darling. What is it?'”

He added: “And she said to me, ‘Lewis … slight issue with me and you as a couple. I find you revolting in every way possible, and you are really a disgusting human being. And I would like to leave you, effective immediately’.
Lewis, who is known for his witty videos and tongue-in-cheek humour, revealed the announcement came as a shock to him.
“And I said, ‘Oh goodness. Well, that has come as a shock, let me be honest with you here,”‘ Lewis added.
“And I said, ‘Well, before you go, how’s this for a counter offer? How about you don’t leave me, and instead we cuddle? We hug it out and let’s see if that, at all, eases your disgust for me as a human being’.
