Paige DeSorbo shared that a sudden health issue caused her to leave “Love Island USA” early after making a surprise appearance over the weekend.

“It was a long day of filming, and we began quite early,” the “Summer House” star explained on Tuesday’s “Giggly Squad” podcast.

She mentioned she had just arrived in Fiji and hadn’t yet adjusted to the environment before filming started.

“But I’m fine, I won’t pretend otherwise,” she stated. “I’m not trying to be a diva. I was just doing my job.”

She explained that the intense sunlight made her feel uncomfortable, even though she has a high pain tolerance.

“I was trying not to make a fuss because I didn’t want to be a problem,” DeSorbo, 32, shared. “Within an hour and a half of filming, I threw up.”

Despite feeling unwell, she initially attempted to push through, but her condition worsened to the point where she couldn’t continue.

The star recognized she couldn’t push through her illness any longer.

Fans noticed her sudden absence, with some questioning her quick departure on social media, such as “Why did she leave before it was done?” and “Why did Paige vanish mid-episode?”

Despite the setback, she shared she did her best to stay professional, sharing on Instagram photos of herself on set, wearing a stylish cut-out turtleneck dress, with a caption thanking host Ariana Madix.

“Thanks @arianamadix for having me on the island,” she wrote.
