Love Island’s Paige Thorne ‘dating Swansea City footballer’ after Adam Collard split

LOVE Island’s Paige Thorne is dating Swansea City footballer Liam Cullen, according to reports.

Earlier this year Paige insisted the pair were just good pals, but now it appears they’ve moved out of the friend zone.

A source told OK!: “Paige is dating footballer Liam Cullen and things are going really well. It’s early days but she’s very happy.”

The pair were first pictured together at a Thorpe park Fright Night at Halloween and Paige has since been seen in the stands watching Liam, 23, play in Swansea.

The Celeb Report has contacted A representative for Paige for comment.

Paige, 25, previously said she didn’t ‘believe in fairytales anymore,’ and ruled out romance after her painful split from Love Island ex Adam Collard.

The paramedic from Wales told fans during an Instagram Q&A: “I can 100 per cent say I am not looking for love.

“I honestly couldn’t think of anything worse than dealing with that kind of drama. So no, not for me. At least not this year.”

But the source told OK!: “Paige was a bit put off by love after her split from Adam and wasn’t actively looking for it. But she’s enjoying her time with Liam.”

The star opened up about what really happened between her and Adam in the candid online chat.

She said she was getting sent ‘shady videos’ of Adam with other girls in nightclubs and she ‘didn’t feel comfortable with it.’

Paige said: “I’m not going to bash him by any means because I think he had a really hard time when our break up came out.

“They [videos] were really shady. I was not comfortable with it and that’s really not a relationship I want to be in.”

She added: “I want to be 100 per cent certain my guy is only for me.”

The paramedic didn’t have the easiest time in the villa with her other ex Jacques O’Neill, who was accused of gaslighting her.
