Paige Thorne on joining Love Island
LOVE Island’s first contestant has been announced as stunning paramedic Paige Thorne.
On joining the show, 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!”
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.”
