LOVE Island legend Paige Thorne is set to appear on ITV2’s All Stars edition.
Series eight icon Faye is the latest of the dating show’s alumni preparing to check into the Cape Town villa in January – despite being linked to a new boyfriend just last month.
Paramedic Paige, 26, dated show bad boy Adam Collard for a just a few weeks after leaving the villa in summer 2022 before they split amid cheat accusations.
Since then she’s not proven too lucky in love despite links to rugby player Jacques O’Neill and also 2023 Islander Scott Van-Der-Sluis.
But in October she appeared to have found new love in football TikTokker and rapper Formz, real name Josh Foreman.
The pair were said to have made things official over a swanky dinner at The Shard following a trip to Barcelona in the summer.
She’s now in talks to join ITV’s All Stars’ edition this January, though.
A source said: “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 All Stars in September after months of speculation a star-spangled edition would run to celebrate ten years of the dating behemoth, with names so far in the mix also including Chloe Burrows, Faye Winter and Joe Garratt.
An ITV spokesman said: “No Islanders have been confirmed for the forthcoming series of Love Island: All Stars at this stage.”
Mike Spencer, Creative Director, of production company Lifted Entertainment, said: “It has been rumoured now for a while but we are thrilled to finally confirm that we are making Love Island: All Stars early next year for ITV2 and ITVX.
“It’s set to be a must watch series seeing some of your favourite Islanders from across the years heading back to the stunning South African villa to once again ‘graft’ as their search for love continues. I simply can’t wait!”
Paul Mortimer, Director of Reality Commissioning & Acquisitions and Controller, ITV2, ItvBe said: “After 10 ratings busting seasons of Love Island on ITV2, we’re delighted to be able to celebrate a decade of the number one dating show on television with the first ever series of Love Island: All Stars.
“Set in our luxurious South African Villa, I know the audience will welcome back some of the most iconic UK Islanders, as they set out in pursuit of love all over again in a brand new version of our worldwide hit.”
