Who is Paige Thorne?

Paige Thorne is a former paramedic and reality TV star from Swansea, Wales.

She was an original cast member on the 2022 series of Love Island and entered the villa alongside contestants like Gemma Owen and Dami Hope.

Paige had a relatively dramatic time on the show after her romance with Jacques O’Neill ended when he left the villa following a tense week after Casa Amor.

She moved on with returning Love Island pro Adam Collard and the pair continued to date after their time on the series had ended

But the pair called it quits in October 2022 and Paige swiftly deleted all trace of her ex from her Instagram page.

Since her time on Love Island, Paige has been linked to football TikTokker and rapper Formz, real name Josh Foreman. 

In December 2023 it was reported that the former couple had split and that Paige had signed up for the first series of Love Island All Stars.

A source told The Sun at the time: “Paige was a brilliant Islander, feisty and fiery in all the right measure and has remained popular on the outside despite a tricky run with a few bad boys.

“She’s a Love Island legend with tons of fans so really deserves a place in the All Stars villa – it’s a great chance for her to show the public how far she has come.”

ITV announced Love Island All Stars in September 2023.

The star-spangled edition, which will celebrate ten years of the dating series, is also thought to have bagged past stars like Chloe Burrows, Faye Winter and Joe Garratt. 

When did Paige Thorne appear on Love Island?

Paige appeared on Love Island in the summer of 2022.

She almost made it all the way to the final but, sadly, her and Adam Collard were voted out just one day before the series finale.

Their exit came after their fellow islanders voted them to be the least compatible couple.

The former couple’s fellow islanders weren’t the only ones who were unsure of their relationship as Paige’s mum also expressed her doubts after she entered the Majorcan villa as part of the show’s “meet the parents” tradition.

When Paige asked for her opinion on her romance with Adam, her mother Samantha whispered: ‘’I’m not buying it.’’

She then explained: ‘’The way you were with Jacques was different, with Adam it just seems a lot different.’’

Is Paige Thorne on Instagram and Facebook?

Paige is very active on Instagram, where she has amassed many followers since finding fame.

As of December 2023, she has over 1.4million fans on the social media site.

When does Love Island All Stars start?

ITV has confirmed that the first ever Love Island All Stars series will begin in January 2024.

As of December 2023, an exact start date is yet to be announced.

Like the winter editions of the dating show, the series will film in South Africa.
