Former paramedic and reality TV star Paige Thorne is back for Love Island All Stars
Love Island fans will remember Paige Thorne as a contestant on the 2022 series of the hit dating show. Now, she's set to make a comeback on Love Island All Stars, where well-known island favourites will return in search of love once again.
Paige Thorne's Love Island journey
Originally from Swansea, Wales, Paige Thorne made her mark as an original cast member on the 2022 series of Love Island. She entered the villa alongside other contestants like Gemma Owen and Dami Hope.
During her time on the show, Paige experienced some relationship drama. Her romance with Jacques O'Neill ended when he left the villa after a tense week following Casa Amor. However, Paige found love again with returning Love Island pro Adam Collard, and the couple continued dating even after the series ended.
Unfortunately, Paige and Adam called it quits in October 2022, and Paige deleted all evidence of their relationship from her Instagram page.
Love Island All Stars and Paige Thorne's return
In December 2023, it was reported that Paige Thorne had signed up for the first series of Love Island All Stars. A source shared that Paige, who has remained popular with fans, deserved a place in the All Stars villa to show how far she has come since her original appearance on the show.
Love Island All Stars, which will celebrate ten years of the dating series, is set to include past stars like Chloe Burrows, Faye Winter, and Joe Garratt.
When did Paige Thorne appear on Love Island?
Paige Thorne appeared on Love Island during the summer of 2022. She and Adam Collard made it almost all the way to the final but were voted out just one day before the series finale. Their fellow islanders deemed them to be the least compatible couple.
Not only were their fellow islanders unsure of their relationship, but Paige's mother also expressed doubts when she met Adam during the "meet the parents" tradition. Paige's mother felt that her daughter's connection with Adam was different from her previous relationship with Jacques.
