Paige Thorne signed up for Love Island after fiancé dumped her by text

Love Island 's Paige Thorne has shared the heartbreaking reason that she signed up for the ITV2 dating show. The 24-year-old Welsh beauty, who is from Swansea, was talking on Vicky Pattison's The Quiz podcast.

Paige explained: "The real reason I went on Love Island is the pettiest reason you’ve ever heard Vicky, you’re going to cry. I was in an 18-month relationship with this guy, it was a Tinder date, and it ended up in an engagement...

"Anyway, he texted me one day like: 'I’m breaking up with you,' out of the blue and I was like, 'Ok, we’re meant to be getting married but whatever'. I was heartbroken and, when I say heartbroken, I went down to seven stone, I was depressed," the paramedic continued.
