Paige DeSorbo Returns to Small Screen with Guest Hosting Stint on Love Island USA
Paige DeSorbo, the multi-hyphenate star, has made a triumphant return to the small screen, guest hosting Episode 12 of Peacock’s Love Island USA. According to a report from Bravo TV, Paige took on the role for the special “Got Wood” episode, a lumberjack-themed game that included physical challenges, makeout sessions, and spicy questions.
The Summer House alum had announced her exit from the show in June, after a seven-season run, and promised her fans that they hadn’t seen the last of her. As reported by Bravo TV, Paige seemed to have kept her word, with the guest hosting stint on Love Island USA being her latest endeavour. “My wishes have been granted,” she captioned a promotional shot for the gig. “Retiring see you never.”
Ariana Madix, the host of Love Island USA, had expressed interest in having Paige on the dating series back in May, as reported by Bravo TV. “I would love to have Paige DeSorbo on Love Island,” Madix told E! News. “I think she would be so much fun. She’s hot and so smart and witty, and I think she would just bring something really fun to the villa.”
Paige had reacted to Ariana’s comments in a May interview with Elite Daily, saying she appreciated the kind words but didn’t see herself joining the show as a contestant, as quoted by Bravo TV. “What a queen. Thank you for manifesting for me, Ariana. That’s a girl’s girl,” she told the outlet. “I don’t think I would ever go on it as a contestant. They’re all 21 years old — they’d be like, ‘Whose aunt is this?’ But I would love to host a challenge or do something with Ariana. I also want to see the house. I don’t think I’d stir the pot — once you’re a year younger than me, I think of you as a baby — but I would definitely want all the tea.”
Paige shared several photos from the guest-hosting job on her social media, including a behind-the-scenes shot of her dressing room. “Thank you [Ariana] for lending me the islanders,” she captioned the carousel, as reported by Bravo TV.
In an interview with Giggly Squad, her popular podcast with Summer House alum, Hannah Berner, Paige opened up about leaving Summer House. “I feel like when you make a drastic switch in your life, and before you do it, you’re like, ‘But how am I going to feel when I do it? What if I regret it?’ I was dealing with that,” she said. “I feel good. It’s kind of also like graduating college. You’re like, ‘Oh, this is sad.’ But, like, ‘No, I want to go to that next step.’ I just feel like I gave all I could give… I’m so excited,” as quoted by Bravo TV.
Paige has been keeping busy since her exit from Summer House, including launching her own sleepwear line, Daphne. According to Bravo TV, fans can expect to see more of Paige in the future, as she continues to explore new opportunities in the entertainment industry.
