The new series ofLove Island is almost here, with the latest run of the ITV2 show set to return next week.
The reality series is ready to welcome a new batch of contestants who are hoping to find romance in the Spanish villa.
One such person is 24-year-old paramedic Paige Thorne, who is from Swansea, Wales.
Speaking about her decision to join the show, Paige said: “In Swansea, there is just no-one I can find. I’ve tried and there’s just nobody there anymore.”
She added that she needs to “break out and broaden my horizons”, stating: “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.”
Addressing how she’ll fare in the villa, Paige, who described herself as “quite mumsy”, said: “I’ll look after anyone that needs looking after.”
