Love Island’s Paige tells Jay she’s not interested
OHMYGOSSIP — Love Island’s Paige Thorne has let Jay Younger know she isn’t interested, leaving the path clear for her and Jacques O’Neill.
The 24-year-old paramedic had a chat with 28-year-old Jay on Monday night’s (27.06.22) episode of the ITV2 dating show and delivered the crushing news, but the investment analyst appeared to take it all well.
Speaking about her and Jacques being “solid”, Paige said: “Yeah, I think we are. We’ve had conversations it’s still Jacques and me, and I don’t want that to be a thing.”
Jay replied: “Not at all, I got that impression straight away and I was going to actually say to you tonight, ‘Paige, I’m going to back off because I don’t want to get in the way.’ You’ve got a great thing going on with Jacques so I’ll leave you guys to it.”
Despite Paige admitting she is not interested, she and Jay are still officially coupled up and are sharing a bed.
As a result, Jay joked he will “build a wall” in their bed until the next recoupling.
He opted to couple up with Paige last week while she was with Jacques, and admitted to her it was always going to be tough for him to win her around.
He said: “I made my bed and had to lie in it. I knew it was going to be difficult from the start, just the way the first week, the door was potentially open there.”
It comes after Paige recently admitted she enjoyed pillow talk with Jay amid her love triangle with rugby player Jacques, 23.
Jay asked Paige: “How are you feeling after the first night, sleeping without Jacques?”
She said: “Ah no, it was all good, I enjoyed our pillow talk, it was nice to get to know each other, do you know what I mean? What about you?”
Later in the Beach Hut, Paige smiled and said: “It’s an awkward one because the boys – Jay and Jacques – you couldn’t get more opposite guys in here, really.”
‘Love Island’ airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
The dating reality show can be seen in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.
