After around a year-and-a-half together, their relationship ended when Paige, 27, reportedly cheated on Lewis, 28, with his best friend.
The singer's heartbreak from their split inspired him to write his debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent.
It's also widely reported that the song Someone You Loved is about his break-up with Paige.
Not long after they parted ways Paige herself found fame.
This happened when she went on Love Island, and even won the show.
In a new interview, Lewis opened up about Paige and how he felt about her, and her stint in the famous villa.
Speaking on the New York-based radio station Z100, he said: "Let me just ask you one question.
"Are you gonna break up with me and then a couple years later go on a reality TV program in the UK and then win it so that I have to be subjected to reliving my breakup over and over again?"
The host then said to Lewis: "Back up, back up, did this happen?"
Replying, the singer said: "My ex-girlfriend from back home went on Love Island and won it.

DATING PAIGE
Lewis dated Paige on-and-off from 2014 to 2016 after they met at college in Motherwell and became close.
After they split up, the devastated star channelled his heartbreak into first album and coined his huge hit song, Someone You Loved.
Speaking previously about the inspiration for the record, Lewis 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."
While Paige previously said of their romance: "We went out when we were younger, I was about 17 or 18.
"We were together for about a year. It ended really amicably and we're still pals."

'ELECTRIC' SEX
Lewis previously revealed that he and Paige had "electric" sex.
The Scottish singer dished details on his romps with the reality TV star on stage at Wembley Arena at a gig in March 2020.
He told crowds: "We were together for about a year and a half and we had some f***ing electric times.
"We had a spark... sparks, they were flying in the air.
"It was like, 'touch it, oh that hurt'... do you know what I mean? Oh that was rude.
"Yeah, so I was with this person and we were doing things that you do with your partner, you know how it is."

Influencer wife ‘defends husband' who hurled horrific abuse at Virgin Atlantic stewardess he threatened to ‘gang rape'
ONE of the wives of a business tycoon who threatened to gang rape an air hostess during a flight has appeared to defend her partner online. Disturbing footage captured the moment Salman Iftikhar, 37, told Virgin Atlantic crew member Angie Walsh she would be attacked in her hotel after landing. 9 Salman Iftikhar, 37, was filmed threatening a Virgin Atlantic stewardess Credit: Central News 9 Pakistani actress Abeer Rizvi appeared to defend her vile husband on social media Credit: Instagram 9 Supermodel and actress, Rizvi, begged people to 'be human' and understand the pain behind every person's story Credit: instagram/@abeeriftekhar 9 The father-of-three was with one of his wife and kids on a flight when he unleashed his vile rants Credit: Central News Iftikhar later threatened to blow up the five-star hotel where the cabin crew were set to stay. He was finally caged for 15 months at Isleworth Crown Court on Tuesday after admitting making threats to kill and racially aggravated harassment. One of Iftikhar's two wives has now posted a cryptic message appearing to defend her disgraced husband. Supermodel and actress, Abeer Rizvi, 37, begged people to "be human" and understand the pain behind every person's story. Rizvi said on Instagram: "Mental health is not a joke. Behind every story there is pain you don't see. "Before judging, try understanding. Be kind. Be human." The popular Pakistani actress has over half a million followers on social media where she often shares clips of her husband. But Iftikhar lives in the UK with another woman who is also the mother to his children. Iftikhar, Erum Salman, 38, and their three children all live in a £2million six-bedroom home in Buckinghamshire. The couple run a London-based staffing company that provides training to businesses working in customer service and manufacturing. Shock footage shows passenger slap woman for refusing to give up seat at airport sparking mass brawl Salman and the children were all forced to watch on in horror during the flight from hell. Iftikhar's vile rant was spouted on an eight-hour flight from London Heathrow to Lahore, Pakistan, on February 7 2023. Prosecutor Abdul Kapadia said Iftikhar was drinking champagne at the onboard bar and leant over to get his own ice. He said: "When told to stop, the defendant became irate, and started to film cabin crew with his phone, telling them: 'Do not tell me what to do you b***h. "When asked by the cabin crew to return to his seat, he then said: 'Don't tell me what to do you racist f***ing b***h. I know where you are from in Cardiff." He continued to call Ms Walsh a "f***ing b***h" before his escalating behaviour sparked a possible flight diversion to Turkey. Mr Kapadia added: "His wife was ashamed. His three children were also on-board, and other crew members were called to assist, but the defendant continued shouting and swearing. "He was slurring his words, with his voice raised." 9 Rizvi's Instagram post from today Credit: instagram/@abeeriftekhar 9 Angie (left) was supported by sister Claire Walsh (right) at Birmingham Crown Court Credit: Central News 9 Iftikhar with his second wife Erum Salman, 38, and their three children Credit: Facebook The out-of-control passenger then told cabin crew he would blow up the floor of their hotel. No action was taken against Iftikhar when he stepped off the aircraft in Pakistan. He was only arrested at his expensive detached home in Iver after his holiday. The judge also took into account Iftikhar's six previous convictions, including a common assault - a record she described as "lengthy and appalling". Iftikhar was living a life of luxury before his jail stint. He boasts a range of expensive cars on his driveway in Buckinghamshire including a Range Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce. In one photo, he is seen posing in front of a royal blue Rolls-Royce kitted out with a white leather interior. Other extravagant snaps show a number of his pricey motors parked outside the home of the Buckinghamshire property. A neighbour of Iftikhar, who asked that their identity remain anonymous, told the Daily Mail: "He's definitely very flash, someone who likes to flaunt his wealth. "How he made his money is beyond me, he ran a recruitment consultancy but I didn't really tend to see him leave for work. He was around the house most of the time. Angie Walsh's gut-wrenching impact statement IN an impact statement, Angie Walsh said she was forced to take off 14 months and the altercation "changed my life enormously". "I can't quite believe that one passenger has had this much of an impact on my, my job, my career and my life," she said. "I am a strong brave, happy stewardess, and loved my job. I am well known within the company. "But I had to take 14 months off work. "I have been flying with Virgin Atlantic for 37 years. I was working when all flights were grounded on 9/11, and I've even flown into a warzone. But this incident has broken me. "But I don't feel strong enough anymore. I was abused for eight hours and 15 mins. It has broken me. It was a very personal attack. "I was doing everything in my power to protect passengers and the crew from him. I felt exposed and vulnerable, especially as we were 39,000 feet in the air. There was nowhere for me to go. "There was one moment where I felt I could not cope. I went into the cockpit and had a meltdown. I said to the captain I don't know what to do. "I was traumatised by the threat of being gang raped. Never in my entire career flying for 37 years have I not been sure what to do. "I have had the best career in the world for 37 years. But he has taken that away from me." "One thing he did like was cars. He owned a Bentley and Range Rover, but he'd also drive different cars on a temporary basis - usually expensive looking ones." The neighbour added that Iftikhar would sometimes come back in the night "revving the engine of his car and blaring music" after going out. Another local said: "He'd usually tear down this road in a Range Rover or some other powerful car. He was a bit of a poser when it came to cars and his house." Despite his apparent wealth, a failed business venture left the recruitment boss millions of pounds in debt. The business mogul previously owned an aviation recruitment business, however it went into administration owing more than £11million to HMRC and £6.885million to HSBC. 9 The dad often shows off his lavish lifestyle online Credit: Instagram

Cowardice of C-listers on Celeb SAS: WDW is bad enough – but the bigger failure was the ‘interrogation' of Rebecca Loos
Read on for Ally's thoughts on MasterChef's return and the biggest TV lies and delusions of the month ALLY ROSS Cowardice of C-listers on Celeb SAS: WDW is bad enough – but the bigger failure was the 'interrogation' of Rebecca Loos THE worst thing about Love Island contestants? They never go away. Advertisement 7 Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has been lumbered with Love Island contestants Credit: PA 7 While the heroic Special Forces instructors are quite rightly looking for 'people with grit' Channel 4's production team are ruthlessly hunting down over-sharing exhibitionists Credit: PA They either reappear on the winter version or they start polluting every other reality format in the schedule with their me, me, me schtick. With TV's worst-affected show currently being Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, which has lumbered itself with Adam Collard, Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri, who are convinced the public know them best for. . . . 'being a bit of a lothario', 'snogging lots of boys' and just generally acting the a***hole on Love Island. A spectacular delusion, given 99.99 per cent of the public probably wouldn't recognise them if they abseiled into their bathtubs wearing a name tag. Which only goes to highlight the conflict of priorities at the heart of this show. Advertisement Pointlessly famous Because, while Foxy, Billy and the heroic Special Forces instructors are quite rightly looking for 'people with grit and determination who can make their country proud', Channel 4's production team are ruthlessly hunting down over-sharing exhibitionists who will bury their country's reputation under 100 tonnes of self-pity and too much bloody information. Just how badly the SAS boys lost that battle of wills can best be gauged by this year's line-up. As well as the three Love Island contestants, others wearing the tell-tale smirk of the pointlessly famous include: Louie Spence, S Club's Hannah Spearritt, Harry Clark from The Traitors, 'Peru Two' drug mule Michaella McCollum and the compulsory drag queen whose real name is Thomas George Graeme Hibbitts, so you can probably understand why the poor frightened little soul decided to call himself Bimini Bon-Boulash. Boxer Conor Benn is also present, along with footballers Troy Deeney and Adebayo Akinfenwa who should probably be slightly wary about 'TV personality and yoga instructor' Rebecca Loos, last seen bringing a pig to climax on Channel 5's The Farm, back in 2005, who remains stuck in a Catch-22 situation all of her own making. She desperately wants to move on from her alleged affair with David Beckham, but cannot shut the hell up about him. Advertisement A problem that wasn't helped by instructor Chris Oliver, who invited Loos to talk about him again, during an 'interrogation', with the words: 'I'd be interested to get your take on it.' But then missed a trick, once she'd finally exhausted herself on the subject, by failing to add: 'No, not Beckham, I was talking about the Channel 5 pig.' Celeb SAS Who Dares Wins full line up revealed with ex Premier League footballer, pop icon and THREE Love Islanders Say what you like about her, though, Rebecca Loos is far from the most brittle member of this feeble celebrity line-up which started to disintegrate almost as soon as the opening credits were done. First to go was Hannah Spearritt, who didn't even reach for the third ad break, let alone the stars. She was swiftly followed by Louie Spence and then the two Love Island girls who got the shortest shrift of all, from Chris Oliver, after voluntarily withdrawing on the way to the Hang Tough challenge. 'What do you mean VW?' he screamed. 'You haven't fookin' done anything yet.' Advertisement You could tell the production team were also livid and probably angry with themselves, for choosing such obvious quitters, as they decided to replay the contestants' opening words of defiance straight after they handed in their armbands. Hannah Spearritt: 'I'm pretty determined. I wouldn't say I give up easily.' Louie Spence: 'I'm a survivor.' Chloe Burrows: 'It's really hard for me to say what it would take for me to VW.' 7 Chloe just couldn't go on after struggling on the climb Advertisement 7 Tasha gave up just a few minutes after Chloe 7 Rebecca Loos cannot shut the hell up about Beckham Credit: PA It is? Then I'll say it for her. It took a tiny slope. Not even a hill, a slope was just too much of an obstacle to overcome, so Chloe quit and hopefully exited public life, just as John Barrowman did last year. Two acts of cowardice that'll hopefully jolt C4 into reviewing their recruitment procedure as all the tears and histrionics of these 'TV personalities' tend to obscure the fact there is actually a contest of sorts going on in the background. Barring injury, the eventual winner will probably be Conor Benn, Troy Deeney or Adam Collard, but definitely not rapper Lady Leshurr, who made a 26ft leap into an Anglesey harbour look like the annual Birdman of Bognor challenge. Advertisement She possibly provided the soundbite of the series so far, though, when Chris Oliver eventually hauled her out of the Irish Sea and asked: 'How did you find that?' 'Traumatic and salty.' And if that's not also the title of Louie Spence's autobiography, I'll hand my armband in as well. Great sporting insights LYNSEY HOOPER: 'I've lost count of the number of corners Rovers have had. It's 17.' David Croft: 'The one significant change is actually the second significant change.' And Mike Atherton: 'India 117-8. Three wickets lost yesterday, four this morning.' (Compiled by Graham Wray) SHOW'S GON OFF THE BOIL BBC1 introduced us to the best-named MasterChef contestant of all time, this week. He's Gon, from Thailand. Advertisement 7 MasterChef has returned to TV screens with a new series filmed before hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode were dismissed last month Credit: Unpixs As opposed to Gregg and John, who are gone from pretty much everywhere. Also missing, from Wednesday evening's audience, was our ever-indignant Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy, who described BBC1's decision to go ahead with the MasterChef series as 'absolutely appalling'. A slight step-up, incidentally, on the way Lisa recently described the Palestinian terrorist organisation Hamas, responsible for murdering 1,195 Israelis, on October 7, who were merely 'appalling'. Personally speaking, though, I cannot summon Lisa's levels of fury over MasterChef any more than I could avoid spluttering when John said: 'Get your mousselines out, Penelope', during the guest judge round. Advertisement For Gregg and John are clearly a pair of oafs who should've been reeled in or sacked years ago, just as surely as EastEnders should avoid repeating the finger-wagging lecture about Joel's toxic masculinity which preceded Wednesday's show. Unless, of course, the BBC wants to look like the most self- righteous hypocrites on the planet. But boycotts are for students and watching MasterChef is punishment enough for any man. So I took my medicine on Wednesday night and immediately found myself in a battle with acute drowsiness, during the mystery box test. The moment John started fretting about the texture of yet another risotto, though? I was . . . what's the word? Gone. Unexpected morons in the bagging area THE Chase, Bradley Walsh: 'How many miles long is the Daytona 500 motor race?' Paul Sinha: '250.' Tipping Point, Ben Shephard: 'Creme fraiche literally translates from French to English as fresh what?' Lee: 'Yoghurt.' And Ben Shephard: 'The first summer Olympics in modern history was held in 1896 in which Greek capital city?' Malik: 'Rome.' Random TV irritations ARROGANT Tipping Point: Lucky Stars contestant Matt Dawson ordering Ben Shephard to 'move on' rather than saying pass. Advertisement The preening self-satisfaction of GMB's holiday cover pundit Nels Abbey, whose stupidity manages to make Ed Balls look like Jeremy bloody Paxman. And drag queen Bimini Bon-Boulash claiming to be 'flying the flag for misfits', on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins which, given there's a bloke in a skirt on nearly every mainstream show, is the very last thing he's doing. He's flying the rainbow flag for establishment cliches. TV gold THE genius and extraordinary back story of Billy Joel getting the treatment they richly deserve from Sky Documentaries' brilliant six- hour, two-parter And So It Goes. Kevin Rowland putting the Jocky Wilson debate to bed on BBC2's hugely enjoyable Dexys At The BBC (it was deliberate). Love Island's Unseen Bits playing The Addams Family music to the arrival of the islanders' relatives on ITV2. SAS: Who Dares Wins legend Billy Billingham lacing the question, 'What does 'Bimini' do?' with more contempt than you'd ever imagine four words could carry. And the Sky Sports presenter, late on Sunday, who said: 'Making their return to the Scottish Premiership, Full Cock.' Before she corrected herself, rather unnecessarily in my opinion. 'Falkirk.'
