Talking about her decision to walk away from him, Paige has previously said: ‘I was like, if I don’t stop it now, I know that I will really fall too hard, and I will not be able to get myself out.
She revealed that since the show the pair have been in touch and added: ‘We’re on good terms.’
After her split from Adam Collard, Paige claimed she had seen videos of her ex-boyfriend ‘cheating’.

After the photo and videos came out, Paige removed all traces of Adam from her social media and unfollowed him on Instagram.
