Love Island stars Paige Thorne has hinted at a special night spent with beau Adam Collard after the explosive filming of the ITV2 dating show reunion on Thursday evening.
Despite only leaving the Majorcan villa last week, the couple’s time away from the show has already been blighted with a number of split rumours.
However, the pair put on a defiant display on Thursday evening as they headed to the series special reunion and wrap party at Antigoni Buxton’s house together.
Taking to her social media on Friday, the Welsh paramedic, 24, shared a cosy snap alongside the Geordie personal trainer, 26.
She captioned the post: “Had the best time at the reunion last night. It was so lush to see everyone again, missed those guys!
“Thankfully I’ve had this guy to keep me occupied, couldn't be happier.”
The couple proved doubters wrong that they'd already gone their separate ways and looked happy to be in each other's company on their way to the reunion show and at the wrap party afterwards.
The flirty duo were in high spirits just a day after the Geordie hunk had gone on record to deny the pair had split.
He took to Instagram on Wednesday night to post a topless selfie and although he captioned the post 'Don't call it a comeback' without making any reference to Paige, he took the time to respond to a question by one user who asked: "Are you and Paige still together?"
He joked: "I bloody hope so since I'm seeing her tomorrow," putting the rumours to bed, adding: "Course we are, I can't wait just family comes first x."
While the loved up couple were joined by the majority of the Love Island cast at the Thursday reunion, one person was notably absent – Paige’s ex Jacques O’Neill.
The 23-year-old rugby player was due to join his co-stars at the annual reunion, where the stars gather for one final time to reflect on the series as a whole. However, Jacques was reportedly not in attendance at the event.
Although the Welsh paramedic has returned to the UK and Jacques has caught up with Islanders Dami Hope and Luca Bish, the former flames have yet to get in touch.
A source told The Sun: “Everybody is getting together for a huge party tonight in London. ITV has put everyone up in a hotel so there’s no need for anyone to miss out.
“Unfortunately Jacques has decided he’s just not ready to see Paige quite yet and especially not with Adam.
“He’s made the decision to wait for a more suitable moment to talk to her again after everything he’s been through.”
Paige addressed Jacques' exit after she was dumped from the villa, saying: “I fully supported his decision, absolutely I could never have sat there and asked him to stay.”
She added: “It did cross my mind a little bit to leave with him, but things hadn’t been 100% all the way through, and the fact that they weren’t was what made me think.
“The fact that I stayed and I gave 100% to the experience and found something new and something more suited towards me just goes to show that everything happens for a reason.”
