Welsh paramedic Paige Thorne, who first signed up to the hit reality series in 2022, has been approached by bosses to return.

According to a source, Paige’s name has been in the mix for All Stars for some time.

They exclusively told The Sun: “Paige was in talks to do All Stars earlier this year, but things didn’t quite work out, and she didn’t make the final cut.

“This time around, producers are really keen to have her back. They think she is the perfect addition to spice things up.”

Paige captured viewers' hearts during her original season when she coupled up with Jacques O’Neil, but dumped him for Adam Collard.

The source added: “She’s stunning – who could forget her turning lothario Adam Collard’s head – and she gets involved in drama, so they’re confident she will deliver.”

During her time in the villa with Jacques, viewers flooded Twitter to slam the rugby player for "manipulating" her, calling his behaviour "scary" and gaslighting.

He later went on to quit the villa after admitting he'd cheated with other girls during the show’s Casa Amor stage.

Paige and Adam's whirlwind relationship ended shortly after the show amid a heated public fallout, after photos emerged of Adam partying with other women.

Since leaving the villa, Paige has returned to her career as a paramedic, earning praise for returning to her normal job.

ITV has yet to confirm the full cast for Love Island: All Stars but a show insider teased: "Fans are itching to know who is going back into the Villa. Love Island: All Stars first series was the gift that kept on giving, so viewers know it's going to be another knock out series with some brilliant names back in the mix. 

"Year after year Love Island proves why it's the UK's biggest dating show - there's so much excitement and we're still months away from it even being on air." 

However, The Sun has revealed another Love Island legend is set to return after overcoming his split from his ‘cheating’ wife.

While another Love Island beauty has hinted she's ready to return for a second chance at finding love.
