And the insider adds that Finn is mad at himself for messing things up with Paige, who he won Love Island with in 2020.
The friend revealed: “Finn is devastated that he ruined things with Paige for one night.”
As for Paige, we revealed how completely blindsided she was by the shocking betrayal – especially when she was friends with Tamara.
Turns out Paige found out about the one night stand very quickly, before the launch event the following night.
“Paige felt really uncomfortable seeing Tamara at the party – she feels betrayed,” a source told The Sun at the time.
That night, Finn was also seen cozying up to Playboy model Ashley Rash on the dance floor – just a stone’s throw from where his ex was dancing with friends.
Love Island exes Paige and Finn split in April 2023 after three years together.
Tamara first entered the spotlight on Married at First Sight Australia in 2019.
Her husband Dan Webb had an affair with married contestant Jessica Power, sending shockwaves through the experiment.
The following year, Tamara upped sticks and moved to Britain.
In Celebrity Ex on the Beach, currently on screens, viewers saw the pair break down in tears as Finn vowed to win Paige back.
In a tearful reunion, the former flames were seen in the opening episode having a heart-to-heart as they discussed their past.
Desperate to fight for their love, a distressed Finn pleaded: “We need to get back to where we were.”
Paige and Finn’s love island romance
PAIGE and Finn met on the winter 2020 series of the ITV2 dating show.
Once they returned to the UK, Finn moved in with Paige’s parents during the lockdown.
When the restrictions were lifted they moved into a luxurious apartment in Manchester together.
In a grand gesture to declare his love, Finn inked Paige’s name on his arm above a previous butterfly tattoo in August 2021.
Three years after meeting on the show, Page and Finn went their separate ways in April 2023.
The couple began filming Celeb X on the beach in September 2023.
Last month, they were seen together again at the launch party of the MTV show.
Before their split, Finn told The Sun about his plans to marry Paige.
He said: “Paige is the one, I’ll be the one to pop the question.
“I have a plan, I don’t put a schedule on it, it’s when the time is right, but in the next two years or so.
Paige and I always talked about a wedding abroad, maybe we’ll do two weddings, a close interim wedding with the family and then a big party here with everyone.”
