Love Island's Paige looks unrecognisable in adorable prom night throwback

Love Island contestant Paige Thorne looks unrecognisable in a major throwback shared by her loved ones on social media.

After revealing how the reality TV star, 24, looks with her hair worn naturally, those running the Welsh paramedic's Instagram account shared another unseen snap of the beauty on Monday morning.

"Little throwback!!! Paige's year 11 prom [mind-blown emoji]," the star's loved ones captioned an old snap of the Islander ready for her big night out eight years ago.

The account then went on to share additional snaps of Paige and her pals on the anniversary of their school prom in 2014, with the Love Island star looking unrecognisable as a fresh-faced teenager.

The trip down memory lane on Paige's Instagram Story comes just hours after it was revealed how the TV babe looks with her natural waves in her brunette tresses.

The Welsh beauty has been wearing her dark lockes super straight throughout her stint in the Spanish Villa but she actually have a slight curl to her hair it appears.

In an accompanying message shared to Instagram on Sunday, Paige's family suggested that she should "wear her hair like this more often" after sharing a unseen snap of the star with a curl in her hair.

The selfie shows Paige wearing a long-sleeve velvet top, and her family wrote in the caption: "For everyone asking to see more of Paige's natural hair. She should definitely wear it like this more often."

Paige's retro snaps come as Love Island fans think they've figured out why Luca Bish ditched the brunette beauty for Gemma Owen at the very start of this year's series.

Fishmonger Luca, 23, was originally paired with Paige during the first week of the show, but soon had a change of heart when he suddenly became enamoured with the international dressage rider, 19.

Following Ikenna Ekwonna's recent confession on Love Island: Aftersun about exactly when the Islanders discovered Gemma has a famous dad - Michael Owen - many viewers are questioning Luca's motives.

Speaking to host Laura Whitmore, 37, about Gemma's famous family links, Ikeena said: "We didn't really know until the second or third day but I don't think the girls knew the guys knew."

"They found out around the third day who Gemma’s dad was and that was when Luca started showing interest OHHHHHH," one viewer mused as the show aired on Sunday night, with another adding: "So they all know that it’s Michael Owens daughter why has Luca never mentioned this or have they purposely avoided airing those scenes. Something to think about considering how clingy Luca is with Gemma. #loveisland."

A third mused: "Luca is only with Gemma because he knows who her dad is #loveisland."
