You never know who you might bump into abroad, as Love Island star Paige Thorne discovered in a recent interview she conducted in the UK.
Thorne, a popular contestant from the eighth season of British Love Island, is continuing to charm her followers long after her stint on the show.
She has successfully transitioned into an influential social media personality, sharing engaging content ranging from her lifestyle and fashion choices to culinary experiences and beauty tips.
Recently, she bumped into a handsome couple on the streets of London and stopped them for a TikTok interview.
The problem? Thorne had zero idea that she was interviewing AFL premiership winner in Collingwood star Josh Daicos and his partner, model Annalise Dalins.
Josh Daicos and Annalise Dalin were holidaying in the UK and spent time with Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou on their offseason trip
Love Island UK star Paige Thorne stumbled across Daicos and Annalise, but had no idea who they were when she interviewed them
'We have been together now for two and a half years, just a little bit over,' Daicos told Thorne
'Adorable. How did you meet?' she asked.
'I saw Annalise - we're from Melbourne, Australia - so I saw her at a bar in Melbourne on Chapel Street,' Daicos replied.
'Yeah, went over there and for about a month I was chasing her pretty hard. And then I finally caught her.'
'What is the best advice you would give for new couples?' Thorne asked Dalins.
'Gosh, I don't know, just spend time together and enjoy it, lots of dinner dates. That was kind of our favourite thing,' she replied.
'Anna's always preached compromise in our relationship and I think that's a good point,' Daicos said.
'Meeting in the middle,' Anna added.
'It's something that we do pretty well, I think.'
Thorne thought she was interviewing a 'lush' couple for her social media channels - completely unaware Daicos is one of the most famous sportspeople in Australia
It was an innocuous enough exchange, but it wasn't until Thorne posted it online that she found out Daicos was a big name in Australia.
'Hahahaha no way!! I need to do some research,' Thorne replied when a follower alerted her to the Magpies star's fame.
Plenty of others picked her up on it as well.
'Paige interviewing famous Aussies and had no idea,' one follower posted.
'This is such a random crossover. Love Island UK x Collingwood AFL,' posted another.
Daicos and Analise had been travelling in the UK for holidays during the AFL off-season, and took their chance to meet Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou and see get a behind-the-scenes look at how the Premier League club operates.
