Ex-Love islander, Paige Thorne has revealed the horrendous way she was dumped prior to heading into the famous Mallorca villa last summer.
The 25-year-old told the Saving Grace podcast that she was engaged to her ex for a number of months before he ended things over text.
The Welsh paramedic said her then fiancé messaged her while she was in the back of an ambulance working, to simply say “I’m leaving.”

She went into detail on the topic with host, Grace Barry, while explaining why she applied to the show for the 2022 season.
She explained: “I did apply [for Love Island]. My thought process was… It’s bad, it’s petty next level, but you know we’ve all been there. I’m so embarrassed but I’m just going to say it how it is.
“My partner at the time, he left me in January,” she said. “We were engaged. Traumatic experience. He did it over text whilst I was in work. I’m in the back of the ambulance and I get a text, and he’s like: ‘I’m breaking up with you, I’m leaving.'”
“So that happened, and then I got home and he’s there with his bags ready to leave. He leaves me, I’m heartbroken.”
She went on to say: “I thought he was ‘The One’, he was not. Disgusting. I saw that he was on Tinder within a week, it was the worst breakup of my life.”
“I just thought, ‘If you’re going to be on Tinder, then I’m going to be on your TV screen for the whole summer. You can do Tinder, I’ll do Love Island.'”
She certainly kept that promise and arrived on screens as one of the OG contestants on the 2022 series of the hit dating show, before she made it to the semi-finals alongside her now-ex Adam Collard.
