Paige Thorne has quit alcohol
The former ‘Love Island’ star has gone teetotal because she has been “really struggling” with herself, and isn’t a fan of who she is when she’s under the influence.
The 25-year-old reality TV star said: "I’ve been struggling lately, really struggling with who I am and have not been in a good place. I’ve given up alcohol, it’s been three weeks now, because I’ve realised that I don’t like the person I become when I drink.
"So until I’m in a safe and happy place I want to stop drinking."
Paige feels she has to “love” herself before she embarks on another relationship, following her split from Adam Collard, who she got together with on the ITV2 dating competition, and her brief romance with fellow former co-star Jacques O’Neill.
She said: "You've got to love yourself, otherwise nobody else will.
"I'm happy being single and I'd love to go on a girl's holiday next year."
The paramedic also opened up about her Christmas traditions.
Paige added to The Sun newspaper: "We'll all be going to my mum's house - it's the last year we'll be keeping this tradition as we'll be travelling next year, so it's very sentimental."
Last month, it was reported that Paige and Jacques had been hanging out after they hit it off in the villa this summer.
A source said: “Paige and Jacques clearly got on really well with each other on the show.
“They have hung out whenever they see each other and one thing has led to another.”
