Love Island star Paige Thorne shared a video of herself breaking down in tears as she said she looked like Lord Farquaad from Shrek after having her hair extensions taken out

Paige Thorne has made fun of herself after breaking down in tears after having her hair cut.

The former Love Islander, 24, admitted she had "immediate regret" after taking her tape hair extensions out and shared a clip of her reaction after leaving the salon.

The video starts with Paige looking much calmer as she tells her TikTok fans: "Hey, took my tapes out yesterday in the hairdresser – immediate regret."

Paige's video then cuts to a clip of her from the day before as she sat crying in a stationary car.

Pulling at her tresses she hysterically asks: "What is that?! Oh my God," before putting her hand over her eyes as she continues to sob.

"She was like, 'Oh do you like it' and I was like: 'No!," she says through tears. "She said: 'It looks lovely', and I was like: 'No it doesn't!'"

Paige then says: "I look like Lord Farquaad from f**king Shrek!!"

The clip then cuts to a much calmer Paige, who then giggles at her upset and says: "And now today I'm like: 'Oh it's kinda cute, it's still giving Lord Farquaad one some angles but I mean it's not that bad.

"Is anyone that dramatic after a hair cut or is it just me?"

As she posted the clip on her channel, she wrote: "Lool abit OTT" followed by the hashtags #fyp, #haircut, #shrek, #fypage, #dramaqueen, #crying and #hairstyle.

Many fans commented to react to Paige's break down over her new do as one joked: "It's giving toddlers and tiaras brat attack", followed by a laughing face emoji.

Paige replied to the comment as she confessed: "I’m fully aware. I’ve been like this my entire life when it comes to hair cuts".

Another made reference to Kim Kardashian's famous breakdown after losing her diamond earring during a holiday.

Quoting Kim's sister Kourtney in the moment, which was shared in an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the follower penned: "'Kim there are people dying'."

Welsh beauty Paige responded with: "Hahahahaha!!!!"

Meanwhile, Paige's fellow former Islander Danica Taylor related to the reality star as she wrote: "This was me in the villa the first time I realised I was basically bold [laughing emoji] [laughing emoji] [laughing emoji] still fit tho baby gal".

And Antigoni Buxton was clearly tickled by the video as she penned: "I can't" followed by a series of crying emojis.

However, some fans criticised Paige's meltdown as one said: "that was a ridiculous reaction" and another wrote: "the poor hairdresser".

"Wow your way or the highway I presume," one critic penned followed by the red flag emoji.

But, others defended Paige and said they related to the moment as one fan wrote: "I think every women is like this when it comes to a haircut I know I am but I just cry inside instead".

"Just think it's a big change for her and might make her feel more insecure god," another wrote.

"if she's paying for her hair to be done yes it's going to be her way lol??," another pointed out.
