Listen to I’ve Got A Text – the Her Love Island recap show on Spotify and Apple podcasts.

Lewis Capaldi has weighed in on his ex girlfriend Paige Turley’s Love Island appearance.

And while the Someone Like You singer is backing his ex to win Love Island, he admitted it would have “been a nice heads up” if she had told him she was going to be appearing on the show.

The 23-year-old told New Zealand chat show The Edge that their split had been “amicable.”

“I’ve known her for years. 18 when we first met, 19 when we started going out, 20 when we finished going out,” he said. “It was a very amicable breakup.”

He added that he will definitely be tuning into winter Love Island – and that he’s backing his ex to win the series.

“She never told me she was going on it. That would have been a nice heads up,” he said. “But fair play and good luck to her.”

“I’ll be fucking 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.”

Paige made her Love Island debut on Sunday night, as she was among the first Islanders to enter the villa.

And speaking in her VT, she apologised to the singer for being a “bitch”.

“One of my ex boyfriends is Lewis Capaldi. According to the papers his song Someone You Loved was about me,” she said. “Lewis, I’m so sorry I must have been a bitch to you.”
