Love Island's Paige Thorne has opened up on the "real reason" she quit her paramedic job after her stint on the ITV show. The 25-year-old appeared on the dating show last year and gained millions of social media followers as a result and also landed a six-figure clothing brand deal with Forever Unique.
Before entering the villa, Paige had trained to become a paramedic and had planned to return to her day job but has now claimed she was snubbed by her employers, writes The Mirror.Last year, the influencer shared a snap of herself back in her paramedic uniform on her Instagram and said that she was heading back to work.At the time, she said: "So, as you can see I’m back in my uniform, I’m about to be doing my first shift back."A little part of me is nervous because it’s been so long since I’ve been off, but more than anything, I’m super excited to be back, back with my team, back doing what I absolutely love, what I’m passionate about, what I’m comfortable with, I just know it’s gonna be a great shift."However, her return didn't last long as she has since revealed she was snubbed.Paige said: "I was like, 'I'll go back to being a paramedic,' but my job was like, 'Don't really want you to do that 'cos you post pictures in bikinis.' She told the Not My Bagg podcast."I was so upset, I worked really hard to be a paramedic, it was so much training and I worked three years before that, Covid did it all and they were like, 'Actually, thanks but no thanks'."
