We found Paige Thorne’s new ‘mystery’ man, and he’s a 6’6 former TV star
He’s also a professional boxer
Paige Thorne revealed her new boyfriend to her Instagram followers this week, and amidst people wishing her the best, others wondered who the 6’6 giant actually is.
We met Paige on season eight of Love Island alongside names like Davide Sanclimenti, Ekin-Su, Gemma Owen, and Luca Bish. She was largely coupled up with Jacques O’Neill and Adam Collard on the show, which admittedly isn’t the best lineup to prove you’re taste in men. Outside of the villa, Paige was linked to the likes of Formz, rugby player Brendan Owen, and construction worker Jay Sheridan.
On Instagram on Monday, Paige posted several pictures of her mystery gent alongside the caption: “I’m not usually one to share what goes on in my private life, but I couldn’t be happier, can’t wait to make so many more memories with you.”
People congratulated her in the comments, with Ekin-Su writing: “Awww Paige, so happy for you!”
“Omg!!!! So happy for you,” said Tasha Ghouri.
“Ahhh, this is the reason for that extra glow you’ve got going on. Yes, girl,” someone else wrote.
Okay, so who is Paige Thorne’s new boyfriend?

Paige Thorne’s new boyfriend was widely reported on, but no one could seem to land on who the guy actually is – until us *evil laugh*.
Paige’s new guy seems to be noneother than Drew Wedlake, a pro heavyweight boxer from Bristol who has a reality TV past of his own. He took part in the inaugural season of Ready to Mingle, a dating show presented by Katherine Ryan in 2021.
Drew also posted the same pictures with Paige to his own Instagram, writing “Found mine” alongside a love heart emoji.
