LOVE Island has announced its first singleton of the 2022 series is stunning paramedic Paige Thorne.
The 24-year-old, from Swansea, is desperate to find Mr Right and is hoping he’ll be waiting for her in the villa.
She said: “In Swansea there is just no-one I can find, I’ve tried and there’s just nobody there anymore. I need to break out and broaden my horizons and Love Island just brings everyone together for me. I haven’t got to go out and I haven’t got to swipe. So, hopefully they can just come to me now!”
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.

“I came out of a relationship and I was just so done with guys so was like, ‘Right, that’s it. I’m going to focus on me,'” she said.
“Then I was like, ‘Ok, I’m bored now, I’m lonely and I miss love and the connection and everything else.’ I’ve been on a few dates but I just haven’t clicked with anyone.”
The new cast will have inclusion training by Good Morning Britain star Sean Fletcher before entering the villa, ITV has revealed.
The newsman, 48, has stepped in to deliver sessions on how to better interact with others of differing abilities, backgrounds and genders.
ITV said ahead of the 2022 series of Love Island: “Ahead of this series, contributors on the show will be offered video training and guidance covering inclusive language around disability, sexuality, race and ethnicity, behaviours and microaggressions.
“The inclusion training, which Islanders are offered prior to entering the villa, consists of conversations chaired by BCOMS (Black Collective of Media in Sport) founder Leon Mann MBE and including DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) consultant Hayley Bennett, disability specialist Shani Dhanda and broadcaster Sean Fletcher.
“These discussions will tackle topics including inclusive language, behaviour, creating safe spaces and being a good ally.”
