Each year, thousands of applicants flock to the ITV site to apply for one of the hottest dating shows, Love Island<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, only a handful are chosen and manage to make it onto our screens \u2013 and this year, one of those contestants is Paige Thorne<\/a>, a paramedic from Swansea, who will make her Love Island debut on Monday, 6th June along with the rest of the Love Island 2022 line-up<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ahead of the launch, Paige talked us through the application process and how she managed to impress the ITV bosses in her audition video.<\/p>\n Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/strong><\/a> and other press, she said: \u201cI think it was just, like, the shortest clip ever, because I didn\u2019t want to cringe anyone out too much. I was basically getting ready for a night out and I think I said something along the lines of, \u2018I like my life, I\u2019m a vibe, put me in there and see what happens.\u2019 And that was literally it \u2013 just a little 30 second clip and that was it.\u201d<\/p> Asked how she\u2019s prepared for the dating show, she added: \u201cJust tanning. I tried the hot girl, gym workout thing, but it\u2019s just not for me. I\u2019m obsessed with cake and chocolate way too much to do it. So just tanning.\u201d<\/p>\n The ITV dating show can come with a lot of fame, with contestants going on to receive huge followings on social media as well as six-figure brand deals.<\/p>\n However, this isn\u2019t something that Paige, who plans to go back to her career as a paramedic, has thought about.<\/p>\n ????
