Paige Thorne has signed up for Love Island’s All Stars series, despite being linked to rapper Formz, according to a new report.
MailOnline exclusively confirmed that the spin-off will air on ITV2 and ITVX in 2024, with famous former stars trying to find love again.
Paramedic Paige, 26, has had bad luck in love after having failed romances with co-stars Jacques O’Neill and Adam Collard.
Sources claim her ‘awkward run’ with men and her ‘feisty and fiery’ personality have landed her a place in the South African villa.
The sun reports: ‘Paige was a brilliant islander, feisty and fiery in all the right degrees and has remained popular on the outside despite a tough run with some bad boys.’

They added: ‘She’s a Love Island legend with loads of fans, so she really deserves a place in the All Stars villa – it’s a great opportunity for her to show the audience how far she’s come. ‘
MailOnline has contacted Love Island representatives for comment.
Last month, Paige seemed to have found new love in Formz, real name Josh Foreman, who is famous for his football-themed raps and TikTok content.
The pair first sparked romance rumors in the summer when eagle-eyed fans spotted them posting from the same locations during a trip to Barcelona.
A source told MailOnline at the time that Formz asked Paige to be his girlfriend during a fancy dinner at The Shard.
The pair kept their romance low-key but enjoyed outings with friends – recently attending an Eastbourne Borough FC match alongside Paige’s co-star Danica Taylor.
Formz, 24, also featured Paige in one of his TikTok videos from Spain, and while he kept her off-camera, her voice could be heard in the background of his clip during a match between Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona.
Paige split from Adam in October after she accused him of cheating when he was filmed flirting with other girls on a night out.
Earlier this year, Paige sparked rumors she had rekindled her romance with Jacques as she reflected on their time in the villa.

On the Not My Bagg podcast, Paige joked: ‘Honestly, when I watch the (Love Island) edits β because they’re always me and Jacques β I fall in love all over again, and I’m like ‘oh my God, he’s my prince charming!β
Jacques is a funny one, because really, we’re not friends, right? We’re not actually friends because we liked each other.’
‘I just don’t think you can just be friends with someone you want that for. You actually can’t. With him it will always be like “what could it have been?”, but we will never know now. We chat, of course we chat. We’ll chat.’
As to whether they had gone on a date, she added: ‘Not a date as such. I saw him, but no, it wasn’t a date. It wasn’t a date, it wasn’t a date! – cut.’
Bosses have revealed that the spin-off series will hit screens in the new year, with famous former stars returning to the villa in South Africa.
The series is expected to feature Love Island alumni from around the world as they continue their search for their dream partner, with MailOnline previously revealing that high-profile stars could also make guest appearances on the show.
They return to the beautiful South African villa to ‘graft’ again as their search for love continues.
Mike Spencer, Creative Director of Lifted Entertainment, said: ‘It’s been rumored for a while, but we’re pleased to finally confirm that we’ll be making Love Island: All Stars for ITV2 and ITVX early next year.
βIt will be a must-watch series as some of fans’ favorite islanders from over the years return to the beautiful South African villa to re-graft as their search for love continues. I just can’t wait!’
Paul Mortimer, Director of Reality Commissioning & Acquisitions and Controller added: ‘After ten ratings-charting seasons of Love Island on ITV2, we’re delighted to be celebrating a decade of television’s number one dating show with the first ever series of Love Island: All Stars.
βSet in our luxurious South African villa, I’m sure the audience will welcome some of Britain’s most iconic islanders as they search for love once again in a brand new version of our global hit.β
