Paige Turley has revealed her famous singer ex-boyfriend Lewis Capaldi texted her after she won Love Island with her new man Finley Tapp.
The Scottish beauty admitted she initiated the conversation, telling the BBC: “I actually text him to say congratulations on his BRITs.
“Yeah, he text me back to congratulate me on Love Island so it’s good but I haven’t really had a chance to catch up with anybody.”
Speaking of her relationship with Lewis now, the 22-year-old continued: “We’re still good friends.”
The reality starlet explained that, to her, Lewis isn’t the award-winning megastar he is to the rest of the world.

Paige said: “I think because I knew Lewis before, I don’t know him as a superstar.
“He’s always just been Lewis to me. It’s normal.”
Many Love Island fans thought that Lewis’ song Someone You Loved was about Paige, however he cleared things up after his BRIT Award win.
Taking to the stage with a bottle of Buckfast, Lewis said: “Contrary to popular belief, a lot of people think this song is about my ex-girlfriend, who you can now see every night on Love Island.

“It’s actually about my grandmother who sadly passed away a few years ago.”
Making the audience laugh, Lewis joked: “I hope to God that ITV don’t contact her to be on a reality TV dating show.”
He previously joked that if Paige won Love Island, he should get some of the prize money as it’s because of him she got her spot on the show.
But she told the Sun: “I can’t give him any money because once I pay off my debts there’ll be nothing left.”

Paige was the lucky holder of the £50,000 envelope after she and Finn were crowned the winners of the first ever winter series of Love Island.
She decided to split the cash with Finn, meaning they both went home with £25,000 each.
It sounds like Lewis could have done with the extra cash though, as he confessed last year that he had less than £200 in his account.
He took to social media to dispute a Forbes claim that his net worth was $10million (£7.7m).
