Love Island's Paige Thorne says one couple are 'faking their relationship' and idk how to feel

The shade is real!

Love Island UK's Paige Thorne has spilled some hot tea, claiming that one of the show's finalist couples is "faking" their relationship for fans and our fave winning man Davide has clapped back at rumours that he and his girlfriend Ekin-Su aren't the real deal.

The 2022 islander appeared on TikTok star Grace Kelly's 'Saving Grace' podcast, revealing some inside goss to a question we've all been wondering: "who is the fakest couple?"

After being given the option to drink a shot to avoid the question, Paige woke up and chose the D-R-A-M-A!

"All I'm going to say is, there are how many couples left, three? Really there are only two."

To avoid spilling all the tea on who she was referring to, Paige did end up taking the shot, but only after the shade had been flung.

Of course, the four finalists for Love Island UK 2022 included Gemma Owen and Luca Bish, Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page, Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack, and Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu and Davide Sanclimenti. But from what we know rn, all four couples are in relationships.

So you're telling me that not one, but two of those couples have called it quits?!

Speculation began online as soon as the podcast episode dropped and many believe that the 2022 winners Davide and Ekin-Su have secretly split.

Now the season winners have clapped back at Paige and are putting the rumours to rest.

Davide took to his Instagram story saying "Remember, rumours are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots, kind regards."

Fans loved the subtle shade, with one writing: "That's it [heart eyes emoji] eat them up Davide!"

"Man said "kind regards" as if this was an email," another joked.

A third asked: "Good comeback, why don't people just let them live n love"

Well, it seems the bombshells weren't left in the villa, and the tension is growing between the cast. Let's just hope that this doesn't get too messy because I'm already finding it hard to keep up!
