Insiders have now said Finn was heard telling co-stars at the Celebrity Ex On The Beach launch that he and Paige were giving things another go as they ‘still want to be together’.
He said: ‘It feels longer than it has been since we broke up. Obviously the time we had together all I look back on it is it was a very verygood time of my life. It was not my sole decision to end it and if it was up to me six months ago I think we would still be together. Yeah we will see.
Paige added: ‘There wasn’t really a reason we never had the conversation that we were over.’
Finn replied: ‘Sometime I feel like he struggles to communicate with me and I’m glad to see him but I don’t want to go back to that place where I feel half of something.’
A source told The Sun: ‘Finn was overheard chatting to pals at the Celebrity Ex On The Beach launch earlier this week, where he told them he and Paige are giving things another go.
‘The truth is, neither of them properly moved on after their split and they realised while filming the MTV reality show that there were still a lot of feelings there.
‘After filming wrapped, they had a big heart to heart and decided they still wanted to be together. They’re taking it slowly, as they obviously had issues before splitting, but they’re committed to making it work this time.’

The rumours have caused fans to believe that Paige and Finn faked their split to get on the reality show.
‘So they went on another reality show with a sob story, made their money then hay presto their back together….; Paige and Finn only ended so they could go on ex on the beach, apparently it was just a fake break up; Prob just a gimmick 2 get more viewers; It was a ploy to get on a TV show again’.
While others said they were ‘gutted’ the couple had ended and hoped the pair have actually rekindled their relationship.
The pair didn’t confirm their split until June 2023, with Paige saying that they’d ‘drifted apart’.
Speaking on Love Island: After Sun last summer, she told Maya Jama: ‘We’re still really good friends. I think we drifted apart. We did lockdown together and any and every struggle we could have faced, we were faced with.
She added: ‘But we’re still good friends.’
