And the insider adds that Finn is furious at himself for messing things up with Paige, who he won Love Island with in 2020.
The pal revealed: “Finn’s devastated that he’s ruined things with Paige for a one-night stand.”
As for Paige, we revealed how she is completely blindsided by the shocking betrayal – especially as she was pals with Tamara.
It turns out Paige found out about the one-night stand very quickly, before the launch bash the following night.
“Paige felt really uncomfortable seeing Tamara at the party – she feels betrayed,” a source told The Sun at the time.
That same night, Finn was also seen cosied up with Playboy model Ashley Resch on the dancefloor – just a stone’s throw from where his ex was dancing with friends.
Love Island exes Paige and Finn broke up 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 Jessika Power, sending shockwaves through the experiment.
The following year Tamara upped sticks and relocated to the UK.
In Celebrity Ex on the Beach, which is currently playing out on screens, viewers have seen the pair break down in tears as Finn vowed to win Paige back.

Desperate to fight for their love, a distressed Finn begged: “We need to get back to where we were.”
