Lewis Capaldi has joked that his ex-girlfriend Paige Turley should give him a cut of her winnings if she succeeds on Love Island.

The singer-songwriter, 23, and the reality hopeful, 22, previously dated for a year, with Turley rumoured to have inspired some of Capaldi’s hits including Someone You Loved.

Speaking on New Zealand’s The Edge radio show, Capaldi said that he would ask his ex to “slide [him] two grand” if she ended up winning the £50,000 cash prize.

“The prize is like £50,000 and I’ll be like ‘Well, listen. They asked you to go on it right. I’m not saying I’m the reason but also… slide me two grand,’” he said.

He went on to reveal that Turley “never told [him] she was going on” the show, adding: “That would have been a nice heads up. But fair play and good luck to her.

“I’ll be f*****g watching it like, ‘Go on Paige, come on!’

“When she’s on a date with a boy I’ll be like, ‘Come on, kiss him.’ I hope she wins.”

He added: “I’ve known her for years. 18 when we first met, 19 when we started going out, 20 when we finished going out. It was a very amicable break-up.”

Speaking ahead of her Love Island debut, fellow singer Turley said that the relationship “ended really amicably” and claimed that the pair are “still pals.”

The Islander was forced to name-drop her famous ex during Monday (January 13)’s episode, when the contestants had to share secrets about themselves in a challenge called Spill The Tea.
