Former Love Island star Paige Thorne is reportedly dating rapper Formz, a year after her split from fellow Islander Adam Collard.
The ITV2 star and Collard parted way a mere two months after exiting the show after the fitness coach reportedly got close to other women on nights out in Bali and Ibiza, a claim he has denied.
A year on, it is believed that the paramedic is now dating TikTok star Formz, real name Joshua Benjamin, months after they sparked romance speculation following a trip to Barcelona.
MailOnline has claimed that Formz and the Welsh star made things official while enjoying a romantic meal at The Shard over the weekend.
The Standard has contacted Paige Thorne and Formz representatives for comment.
Last year, Thorne opened up about her and Collard’s failed romance during an Instagram Q&A.
She shared at the time: “I am not going to bash him by any means because I think he had a really hard time when our breakup came out anyway so I’m not going to add to that because I don’t think it’s fair.
“Obviously everyone was aware of all the videos and pictures that were coming out of like him and his arms around girls in night clubs and whatever on his PAs.
“I was willing to put them behind me and move on because at the end of the day it is just like an arm around. You can get over that.
“But then I was getting sent more videos of him on nights out that didn’t go viral and they really were shady. They were shady and I just wasn’t comfortable in it and that’s not a relationship that I want to be in.”
She continued: “I want to be 100 per cent certain that my guy is only about me and doesn’t want to be, you know, accessible to anybody else. So it wasn’t something we could agree on.
“He went to Bali and it just broke down from there. I just texted him like, ‘This is dumb, this isn’t working.’ We’re not even talking while we’re on holiday. It’s clear that something has shifted between us. So yeah, let’s just call it a day.
“And there was no fight for it. It was just obvious that’s the way the relationship was headed.”
However, the TV personality has since denied that there was any “bad blood” between them.
She told OK! in March: “There is no bad blood from my end. Everything happens for a reason and I’m in a good place now.”
Since their split, fitness coach Collard has been linked with Lottie Moss following a stint on E4’s Celebs Go Dating and is now believed to be dating Sky Sports presenter Laura Woods.
