Paige Thorne is said to be ‘furious’ about the liquidation of fashion label Forever Unique.
Paige was signed to a six-figure agreement by the corporation after her triumph on Love Island.
In October, the 25-year-old unveiled a 40-piece party collection, which she marketed with a lavish photo shoot in Rome.
Paige, who split with Adam Collard after leaving Love Island, is now said to be finding the partnership a “nightmare.”
Paige is also ‘furious, angry, and upset,’ according to the source.
‘It’s been stressful enough taking legal action, but now creditors have got involved, chances are she will never see the money she was owed,’ an insider told The Sun.
Paige is alleged to be due thousands of dollars.
The fashion house is openly handled by Real Housewives of Cheshire actress Seema Malhotra, who films sequences for her reality programme inside the office on a daily basis. The 50-year-old even has her own Instagram account, @SeemaForeverUnique.
However, it is Seema’s husband Sandeep Malhotra who is listed as the company’s director.
At the time of Paige’s signing, Seema spoke of her excitement saying: ‘We were drawn to Paige immediately in the villa and love what she stands for as a strong, independent and driven female.’
Forever Unique is the trading name, but the company behind it is called Dress Me Online Limited.
A combination of the economic climate, inflation and issues in recovering from the pandemic have resulted in these circumstances.’ said Amie Johnson, the Insolvency director at the company Begbies Traynor, which is liquidating the business.
‘Creditors have been informed and we will keep them up to date with progress,’ reports the BBC.
Begbies Traynor stated that the company employs 21 individuals and that the most recent set of accounts, from December 2020, show a turnover of £2.3 million.
Paige was the first Love Islander to collaborate with the brand, but they have also collaborated with influencer Tara Maynard on a line, and their designs have been worn by Holly Willoughby, Amanda Holden, and Charlotte Dawson.
