Paige Thorne admits she feels guilty about quitting her job as a paramedic to star on Love Island – but vows to return to the NHS once her ITV2 stint is over.
The Welsh Islander, 24, who qualified as a paramedic six months before the Covid-19 pandemic, 'didn't want to risk her chances' of landing a spot in the TV villa, so resisted giving her bosses longer than three weeks' notice before jetting to Mallorca.
Speaking ahead of the series launch on Monday, Paige said she left things 'up in the air' with her current employer though insists working for the NHS is her only career aspiration.
'I didn't tell my bosses': Paige Thorne admits she feels guilty about quitting her job as a paramedic to star on Love Island – but vows to return to the NHS once her ITV2 stint is over
Paige said: 'I didn't tell my bosses in advance, I probably gave them nowhere near enough time that I should have.
'But you don't find out until really close to the time if you get on the show. I didn't want to risk my chances and start saying stuff beforehand.
'I gave them three weeks' notice, which left it all a bit up in the air because I didn't give enough time but yeah.
'I will 1000 percent go back to being a paramedic. I love my job it gives me everything I could want from a job. I'm too much of a peoples' person to not go back to something like that.'
