Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has confirmed Paige Thorne and Adam Collard have split.
The reality star, who is set to appear on Dancing On Ice next year, commented on the couple’s break-up after reports emerged they had gone their separate ways.
‘It’s over. It’s done,’ Ekin-Su told Mirror Online. ‘I think Paige can do better, that’s all I can say.’
Rumours of Adam and Paige’s split came after a video of him putting his arm around a woman in McDonald’s went viral.
The woman in the footage later insisted he was just chatting to her and did ‘literally nothing wrong’.
Adam’s spokesperson also strenuously denied any allegations of foul play, explaining in a statement that the person was a fan who wanted a picture.

They added: ‘Adam and Paige are currently dating and Adam only has eyes for her.’
Adam and Paige met in the Love Island villa this summer when he entered the show, for a second time, as a bombshell.
The pair left as a couple, narrowly missing out on a place in the final.
After leaving the villa and resuming life in the UK, the paramedic and Adam made their romance official and were spotted looking loved up and holding hands on various dates.
But doubt started to be cast on their relationship after the viral video, with the couple reportedly taking a break shortly after as a source claimed Paige felt ‘humiliated’ although ‘believed he didn’t do anything’.
Earlier this month, Paige removed all trace of Adam from her Instagram account, fuelling speculation the 24-year-old had called it quits.
Adam and Paige have yet to publicly confirm their break up, however a source told Metro.co.uk the pair had called time on their relationship.

‘He’s got a lot on with fitness work so is going to focus his time on that for now as a welcome distraction.’
