Love Island star Paige Thorne showcased her growing baby bump in a pink swimsuit as she shared an update on her pregnancy on Instagram. The TV personality, 28, is currently 22 weeks pregnant with her first child with her boxer boyfriend Drew Wedlake.
In a new update, Paige gushed she is 'loving how my body is changing' as she cradled her bump in the eye-catching one-piece. The reality star flashed a smile to the camera as she posed in front of a lake during a wellness retreat, saying she feels 'confident and empowered'.
She wrote: 'I always thought I'd struggle so much with body image whilst being pregnant because I always trained so hard and watched what I ate all the time. But I'm so glad that I LOVE how my body is changing to grow this little baby. I feel beyond confident and empowered, as if I was made to be pregnant, is that weird to say?'
Paige went on to reveal she has been suffering with 'lower back ache since week four' and has been undergoing 'pregnancy massages and lymphatic drainage every two weeks'. She added: 'To sum it up, I love being pregnant. I'm in love with my future little life I have ahead of me, I've never felt more ready for such a big change. I feel like this is what's been missing for the longest time for me'.
Paige shared the exciting news she is pregnant with her first child in March. The couple shared a sweet video on the beach, with Paige showing off her blossoming baby bump in a yellow co-ord. The television personality clutched an ultrasound scan, while boyfriend Drew tenderly kissed her stomach. They captioned the post: 'Half of me & half of you. You are already loved infinitely, baby Wedlake due September.'
A host of Love Island alumni took to the comments to share their congratulations. Rosie Williams wrote: 'So special, congratulations beautiful', while Danica Taylor said: 'Finally my girl'. Tasha Ghouri added: 'This is so so beautiful congratulations'.
The couple went Instagram official in July last year and have attended red carpet events together as well as jetting off on several holidays. Paige moved in with Drew, who auditioned in the 2017 series of The X Factor, after just three months of dating and spoke about the struggle of uprooting her life from Swansea to Bristol. She reflected last month: 'Basically I moved in with my boyfriend after a very short time of knowing each other aka three months. I have moved in to Bristol away from my family, away from my routine, away from my home life. I found that adjustment very difficult so I kept going back to Swansea back to here, never having a routine, never sitting down.'
Former paramedic Paige joined Love Island on its eighth season and was eventually dumped on day 56. During her time in the South African villa in 2022, Paige enjoyed a romance with Jacques O'Neill, whom she chose to couple up with more than once. The pair even coupled up after Casa Amor, but she was left single after Jacques chose to leave the villa. She then got serious with Adam Collard, but the couple was dumped by the public. They shortly split after the show. Paige had a relationship with rapper Formz, real name Josh Foreman, which ended in 2024.
