Discarding reports that she had asked Adam to give her space, Paige was seen staring at her boyfriend as they dropped into a cafe near their London hotel.
A source claimed to The Sun on Wednesday that Paige is ‘really saddened by how things have turned out and feels like she’s being humiliated.
‘She believes Adam didn’t do anything and knows women throw themselves at him. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t find it difficult when people start gossiping about their relationship and sharing it on social media.
‘Paige told Adam she needed to rest and spend time away from him.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Paige and Adam for comment.

Adam was a controversial figure during his first stay at the mansion, with some of his scenes even raising concerns with bosses at the Women’s Aid charity about domestic abuse.
Adam locked horns with his then-partner Rosie Williams in an explosive confrontation in which he was heavily criticized by viewers for smirking during the argument and then brought her to tears in agitation.
Katie Ghose, CEO of Women’s Aid, said: “In the latest series of Love Island, there are clear warning signs in Adam’s behavior.”
Adam arrives at the mansion late and is initially paired with Kendall Rae-Knight before Rosie is his next partner.

The business owner still retains a ‘player’ reputation after her stint on the show but Paige recently revealed that ITV producers pushed her to give him a chance.
Speaking on FUBAR radio with Bobby Norris and Stephen Leng, the former contestant confessed she ‘didn’t even know’ who planted the bomb – despite being warned he was a ‘huge player’ by the other girls in the mansion.
She explained: ‘All the girls are like Paige, this is Adam, I was like, ‘Why do you say his name like that? I don’t know who he is.”

“They’ve let me down and they’re washing him off, giving me a better understanding of what he used to be like,” she continued.
‘Then I said, “Well, if he’s like that, what is he doing here? He’s just going to be a little stirrup. I took a shortcut.”
But the paramedic, who paired up with Jacques O’Neill prior to her departure, later revealed that producers had pulled her aside to try to convince her to give Adam a chance.
‘I was pulled aside and they [producers] like, “Paige why did you write to him before you had the chance?”
“I said, ‘Because of what the girls said. I didn’t have to chat with him to know that it wouldn’t make a difference.”
“And they said, ‘No, just open up and just talk to him and give him a chance. ” I was just like, ‘What’s the point, he’s going to be a great player. I’m not here for a player, I’m here for something serious.”
Speaking of their relationship, Paige added: ‘It’s been very good. This boy, I promise you, he’s casual and cool, I love it. We meet when we have time to rest.
‘Obviously, I’m living in Swansea and he’s in Newcastle and when we’re away we just keep in touch and text and whatever. But then, what we tend to do when we come together, is have proper quality time. So it really works well in our favor. ‘
‘Adam and I know where we stand together, we know where we are, we know what we’re feeling and we don’t really mind anyone else’s opinion.’
