The keen cook said she has “mumsy energy” and wants a positive man she can serve her roast potatoes too.
On what she’s looking for in a partner, she said: “Just positive energy, lots of bubbly energy. I am a good cook and I’m quite mumsy so I’ll look after anyone that needs looking after.
“If I had to pick a signature dish, it would probably be a Sunday dinner. My roasties are up there, I think Gordon Ramsay would be impressed – I think he would be like ‘9/10 or 10/10’.
Having been single for a while now, Paige is ready to have someone to share her life with.
