Love Island’s Paige fires back at criticism from fellow Islanders as she says they're 'talking s**t'

Love Island star Paige Thorne has fired back after she received criticism from fellow Islanders since leaving the villa, which has seen her labelled “not nice”.

Bombshell Nathalia Campos revealed secret tensions in the villa between herself and the Welsh paramedic, claiming she made a series of ‘Mean Girls’ comments behind her back during an appearance on the Speaking on Reality with Will Njobvu podcast.

This came just days after Casa Amor bombshell Coco Lodge opened up about her difficult relationship with Paige and described her behaviour as “not kind or nice” in a brutally honest TikTok

Only yesterday, Danica Taylor said she wishes she had confronted the likes of Paige over the way she felt she was treated upon arrival in the villa, having watched the scenes back.

But speaking to former Love Island finalist Toby Aromolaran’s podcast Fancy A Chat?, Paige bit back at the accusations.

Toby asked Paige about her feelings towards the post-Love Island climate of people talking about everyone else” and Paige replied: “People have got to do what they've got to do.”

She continued: "If you've got to talk s*** about someone else to keep yourself relevant, that's fine. It's not my vibe.

"Why can't you focus on yourself and all the positive things, rather than talk s*** about anyone else?

"I'm not about that. I'm in my little positive bubble and I stay firmly inside it. People just want to try to pop it sometimes but it's impenetrable, so no."

Toby also asked Paige about going from anonymity to fame overnight (itv)

Toby noted: "A lot of people are going to try to drag you down," as Paige laughed as she replied: "They try."

Toby also asked Paige about the experience of going from anonymity to fame overnight, posing: "Obviously you lived under a rock and now you're here, there, everywhere – how are you finding the transition?"

Paige replied: "It is really overwhelming but Adam's been absolutely great because he's done it before, so he's been taking it under my wing and helping me out."
