Love Island's Paige Turley escapes plunging UK temperatures for lavish holiday

Paige Turley is making the most of her life as a celebrity almost three years on from first rising to fame.

The star, 24, is currently enjoying a holiday in the United Arab Emirates ahead of the winter series of Love Island returning next month, with her stay aided by a social media collaboration with an Abu Dhabi tourist board.

Paige, who won the first and only series of Winter Love Island in 2020, took to social media on Monday [December 12] to share an advert with her 1.6 million Instagram followers in which she can be seen enjoying the Abu Dhabi sunshine.

Wearing a cream one-piece swimsuit and sunhat to pose at Saadiyat Beach Club, the reality TV star appeared to be living her best life as she flashed a smile for the camera and etched 'Page and Finn' in the sand as she soaked up the sun.

Paige - who is holidaying with Love Island beau Finn Tapp - captioned the promotional images: "Some snaps from our beach day at @saadiyatbeachclub AD [palm tree emoji] .. thee prettiest place!! @visitabudhabi

"#FindYourPace #InAbuDhabi."

Shaughna Phillips, who appeared alongside Paige on the 2020 series of the ITV2, was one of the first to comment on her pal's post.

"Going on the mantelpiece [love heart emojis]," the pregnant star wrote underneath the Love Island winner's holiday snaps.

"Beautiful," 2022 Island Georgia Townend added, as Scott Thomas declared: "Love it there."

Paige's trip with boyfriend Finn comes as it's revealed when the second winter version of Love Island will premiere next year, with new host Maya Jama presenting her first-ever series of the show.

Although ITV2 are yet to officially confirm a date, it's been reported Winter Love Island's sophomore series will grace our screens from Monday, January 16.

The rumoured date lands on Blue Monday - a day dubbed by marketing and PR teams as the 'most depressing day of the year' due to people supposedly suffering from post-Christmas Blues.

Speaking to The Sun, sources claim: "Love Island bosses have planned for the show to start on Blue Monday – which is bound to give fans a massive lift on such a gloomy day.

"This year’s contestants will be flown out to South Africa earlier in January and will start filming for the first episode the day before.

"The grand finale will take place eight weeks later on March 13. The villa is absolutely amazing, Maya is raring to go and this series’ contestants are looking to be the sexiest ever."

Paige and Finn remain the only ever Winter Love Island winners, with the pair being crowned champions of the first offering of the format as the Covid-19 pandemic began in early 2020.

Sparking up a romance just before the world went into lockdown meant the happy couple had plenty of time together but didn't have a chance to experience 'normal' relationship milestones together at first.

"Yeah, things are really good," Finn explained at the Pride of Scotland Awards in July this year. "We’re just starting to be able to do all the normal things to be honest.

"The things that couples usually do…we’re catching up."
