Winter Love Island winner Finn Tapp has revealed all about his scramble to be with girlfriend Paige Turley after the UK was put into lockdown last month due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Finn and Paige are one of the villa couples self-isolating together but they were originally living apart, meaning Finn had to make the six-hour journey from his Milton Keynes home to Paige’s pad in West Lothian, Scotland – 400 miles away.
He opened up about his decision in a video on his YouTube channel, explaining, “I made the six hour drive up to Scotland. It was almost a given that something like this isolation period was going to happen.
“So I made the decision to drive up to Scotland so that if it happened, I could be isolating with Paige. I wanted to isolate with Paige - obviously we are quite used to it being isolated in the villa in South Africa at the start of the year, though obviously I don't have the pool or the views here.”
