LOVE Island star Paige Turley wowed judges with an incredible Britain’s Got Talent audition aged just 14.

The Scots reality show winner, now 24, stunned Simon Cowell and the celebrity judges with her voice almost 10 years ago.

Paige, from Whitburn, West Lothian, would go on to star on Love Island in January 2020 and won the reality dating show after coupling up with footballer Finn Tapp.

In her BGT audition, the teen singer appeared nervous as she took to the stage – but left her dad in tears as she sang the iconic Birdy tune Skinny Love.

Her performance was branded “fantastic” by judge Simon.

The music guru said: “I think you are absolutely fantastic.

“You have a really, really interesting, unique voice.”

“I really, really like you.”

Alesha Dixon told the teen she should be “proud” of her performance and said she looked “adorable”.

She told Paige: “I love the way you have such control over your voice.

“I think you should be really proud of that performance.”

And David Walliams said: “I think you look and sound like a pop star.”

Paige - who is the ex-girlfriend of Lewis Capaldi - was sent through to the next round of the talent show with all four judges in unanimous agreement.

But she narrowly missed out on a place in the final.

Speaking as Paige entered the Love Island villa in 2020, a source said Lewis was “gutted” at their break-up as he “really loved her”.

Another added: “Paige and Lewis were at first glance an unlikely pairing but they were passionate about singing and had a real respect for one another musically.

“They had a lot in common and Lewis fell head over heels for Paige. The two would often be seen attending events together.

“They had an on-off relationship. Paige’s friends all know the truth.”

Lewis has previously remained tight-lipped about his ex-partner.

He previously said: “I met a lady. She was very nice. I loved her. I loved the look of her and I loved how she spoke.

“We dated for a year and a half then she left me. Then I wrote an album about it and I still think about it every day.”
