Ever since the Winter Love Island line-up was released earlier this week, we've been doing some digging and we've found out that not only is new Islander Paige Turley Lewis Capaldi's ex-girlfriend, but she also auditioned for Britain's Got Talent when she was just 14!

The 22-year-old, who is from West Lothian in Scotland, auditioned for the show in 2012 when she was 14 and even got through to the semi-finals.

Performing Birdy's hit track 'Skinny Love', Paige impressed judges Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon at the time.

Revealing she appeared on the entertainment show before going into the villa, Paige said, "When I was 14 I was on Britain’s Got Talent as a solo singer and I got to the semi-finals. I sang Skinny Love by Birdy."

However, she didn't get through to the final and missed out on winning the cash prize and the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Show.

Several years after her audition, Paige met Lewis Capaldi at college in Motherwell and the pair started a relationship.

Talking about her claim to fame, Paige said, "Lewis Capaldi is my ex boyfriend. We went out when we were younger, I was about 17 or 18. We were together for about a year. It ended really amicably and we’re still pals."

Lewis has previously admitted that Paige was the inspiration behind his hit single 'Someone You Loved', revealing, “I met a lady. She was very nice. I loved her. I loved the look of her and I loved how she spoke.

“We dated for a year-and-a-half, then she left me. Then I wrote an album about it and I still think about it every day.”

Winter Love Island begins at 9pm on Sunday 12th January.
