She almost ran into her Love Island ex Jacques O’Neill on Friday at a swanky event in Manchester.
But it looked like Paige Thorne almost awkwardly let her walk in while enjoying a Sunday afternoon shopping trip across town with her stylist friend.
The former paramedic turned Love Islander, 25, who has just split from co-star Adam Collard after cheating allegations arose, donned an oversized white t-shirt and black cargo pants as she walked the shops.

She paired the look with a pair of black and white Nike Dunk sneakers to match her monochromatic look.
Her makeup looked simple for a Sunday shopping trip, with a hint of contour on her cheeks and a bold eyebrow.
Wearing her raven locks straight, she was holding a Zara shopping bag after seemingly finding a few pieces for herself.
Along with her well-known stylist friend Courtney Paul, Paige dined at Saku Samba before hitting the shops.

Paige’s appearance comes after she nearly ran into ex Jacques O’Neill on Friday, when the pair uncomfortably attended the same Grace Jacob event at MNKY HSE in Manchester on Friday night.
Paige previously worked with Jacques O’Neill on the ITV2 show before leaving the island due to his mental health.
But before he left, the rugby player had flirted and kissed other girls during the infamous Casa Amor episodes, which tarnished his relationship with Paige.

About her decision to walk away from him, Paige previously said, “I was like, if I don’t stop now, I know I’m going to fall really hard and I won’t be able to get myself out of it.
She revealed that the couple has been in touch since the show, adding, “We’re on good terms.”
Paige split from boyfriend Adam earlier this month after it was revealed he cheated on her.

In October, Paige claimed she had seen more videos of ex-boyfriend “cheating.”
In September, a video went viral of Adam putting his arm around a woman in McDonald’s.
He was then pictured partying in Ibiza while socializing with another girl at a pool party.
After the photo and videos came out, Paige deleted all traces of Adam from her social media and unfollowed him on Instagram.
Adam later confirmed that he and Paige are no longer together, and it tells The sun: ‘We are not together. Things happen. But I mean, she’s a great girl.’

Paige has since broken her silence on the shock split, in an appearance on the Saving Grave podcast.
She confirmed: ‘I’m single – live my best life. No, I’m kidding, it’s really been a s**t time.’
Opening up about the cheating allegations, Paige said Adam was “not friends” with the woman and there was further video evidence.
She said, “It’s not just that video. There are other videos that people don’t know of from different people, on the same night, in different locations.
“At first I was like, no, you know what? It’s just one arm. I get that people get flirty. There’s nothing to it. If I’m at the club and a guy puts his arm around me, is that cheating? No.
“And then those other videos came out and I was like, ooh. Ooh, I can’t justify this.’
Paige said the videos show Adam and women in the VIP restrooms and rule out any chance of the couple reconciling.
She continued, ‘I mean, will you? Would you go back with someone like that? The videos speak for themselves. The one everyone has seen and the one I’ve only seen.’
