She was on the Saving Grace podcast and was asked by host and TikTok star Grace Keeling: “Who is the fakest couple?”
Paige had the option of drinking a shot to avoid answering Grace, but instead she spilled the tea.
The 24-year-old coyly replied: “All I’m going to say is, there are how many couples left, three? Really there are only two.”

But in a new video, while attending the Pride of Britain Awards, Love Island winner Ekin-Su appeared to hit back at the claims as she was joined by her fellow Islanders.
Ekin panned the camera around to her co-stars as they all enjoyed a meal together at the table.
Ekin-Su zoomed in on Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page as they ate, as well as Dami Hope who attended the awards on his own, without girlfriend Indiyah.
She then zoomed in on boyfriend Davide and said “baby,” after wowing on the red carpet next to her beau.
The 28-year-old Turkish beauty also praised fellow Love Island couple Gemma Owen and Luca Bish as they joined the star at the table.
Filming them, she exclaimed: “And the best couple is here, hey guys I haven’t seen you in ages.”
Luca replied that it had “been a while,” before the Turkish star asked Gemma where the white chocolate was, in a playful comment.

They Love Island co-stars appeared to enjoy each other’s company in the clips, despite Paige’s recent claims.
Four couples including Gemma Owen and Luca Bish, Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page, Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack, and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti are supposedly still in relationships.
Fans think Ekin-Su and Davide have secretly split and are publicly parading as an item.
Reacting to Paige on the podcast, one said: “We all know it’s Ekin and Davide you fans just are to blind to see.. And Ekin shouldn’t have got involved in Paige’s life either.”
Another said: “Paige drank about 5 shots because she didn’t want to answer the shady questions. Ekin literally confirmed Paige’s break-up last week. I think she’s well in her right to say there is a fake couple…”

Luca, 23, could be seen in a grey t-shirt and black jogging bottoms as he played football at the end of the garden.
Fishmonger Luca has already referred to Gemma’s dad Michael, who played football for England, as his “future father in law” as he opened up about making his relationship with Gemma official at the end of August.
It seems he’s not planning to stop there as the fishmonger hinted at wedding bells in a new interview.

When asked what it was like meeting football legend Michael, 42, for the first time, Luca said: “The first time I ever met him I went on holiday with him to Portugal, which is quite a weird first experience to have with your future father in law.”
During the appearance on talkSport, Luca was also quizzed on whether Michael had spoke to him about some of his behaviour towards Gemma during their time in the villa.
Luca replied: “Not at all. He would have if he’d seen anything he didn’t like I’d imagine, but not yet.”
And Luca’s latest career move will no doubt have pleased Gemma’s dad, as he signed for non-league side Hailsham Town.
The football club announced on Twitter: “Delighted to announce a new arrival. Welcome to the Stringers, Luca Bish.”

Luca was seen smiling for a snap in a tight-fitting zip-up shirt, as she posed alongside a football field for the announcement.
The TV star had played at Saltdean United prior to his villa stint, playing for an under-23 side under current Hailsham boss Luke Carter.
Luke reacted to the signing in a follow-up tweet, writing: “The boy was on fire for me last season before going on loan to the villa for the summer!”
It comes after Luca appeared on popular footballing TV show Soccer AM – where he showed off his skills with former footballer Jimmy Bullard.
