LOVE Island’s Paige Thorne has revealed she’ll swerve any man that badmouths their ex.

The sexy paramedic, 24, said it’s a major red flag if a guy wastes no time laying into a past lover, and it’s even worse if they claim to have had multiple bad experiences.

Speaking ahead of the series launch, she said: “You know a guy who always slates their exes – and all of their exes are crazy? They’re all psychos… That guy. We don’t like him already [laughs].”

And if any of the lads in the villa reel off a cliche chat up line relating to her day job then they’ll be in for a rude awakening.

Admitting that while men don’t usually fantasise about paramedics in the way they would a nurse, they do often try and turn it into flirty banter.

She explained: “They say ‘oh my god, I have to call myself an ambulance.’ I’m so sick of that chat up line, it’s not a good chat up line.”

Paige was forced to resign from her job ahead of the series launch, but she vows to return to the ambulance service when she leaves the villa.

She said: “I tried lots of ways to stay employed but because of how the NHS is structured, it wasn’t possible, so I came to an agreement with work where I resign and have time off for now and when I come out I go back into talks on going back into work.

“One hundred per cent I’ll be going back to being a paramedic. It sounds cliche and disgusting, and I hate myself for it, but it’s who I am. I’m a people person, I love the elderly, and I couldn’t think of not doing that as my career.”

Paige kept Love Island a secret from her work partner and even her brothers.

She admitted her dad wasn’t too pleased about it when she broke the news to him, but he has started to come round to the idea.

“My dad had reservations at first,” she said. “He’s not watched the show and he doesn’t really know what it’s about, but he’s come round.

“Not that he would just sit there and watch it anyway, I don’t think he would, but he won’t want to hear about anything too mischievous that I’ve been up to.

“I’ll try and be on my best behaviour. I’ll just make sure I stay the little princess he thinks that I am.”

But there might be some difficult moments if she meets her dream man – a hunk in the mould of Massimo [Michele Morrone] from Netflix’s X-rated 365 Days.

The Italian lothario is a powerful drugs boss who spends most of the film having 50 Shades of Grey style BDSM romps.

Paige said: “I’m looking for a Massimo but without the murdering and drug dealing. I’m sure I can take him.”
