Love Island 2022 contestant Paige Thorne has shared an update on returning to her job as a paramedic. The Swansea-born reality television star, who just missed out on a place in the final alongside boyfriend Adam Collard, has said she "can't wait" to go back to the NHS.
Paige, 25, who rose to fame on the popular ITV2 dating show this summer, recently told how she was "devastated" she had to resign from her job in the NHS to go on the show. Paige explained she tried "every single avenue possible" including annual leave, unpaid leave and a career break to keep her job.
Speaking on the Girls Know Nothing podcast, Paige explained the NHS management team in Swansea were fully supportive of her, but her only option was to quit as there could have been criticism for allowing a member of staff to go on the show because the service was understaffed.
