Who is Alana Paolucci? Plus-size model and former Playboy cover girl charms 'Love Island' fans
CBS's hit show 'Love Island' features 12 young singles, referred to as "islanders". These islanders need to be coupled up throughout the show and occasionally complete various challenges assigned to them. The goal of the show is to remain coupled up until the end of the season, the winning couple will receive a cash prize and possibly a new romantic prospect. New islanders are regularly added to the mix to keep things interesting, which gives the OG islanders a chance to ditch their old partner for a newcomer.
The upcoming episode of 'Love Island' will feature three new girls making their big debut on 'Love Island'. With Leslie Golden's exit and the current set of islanders at the risk of getting eliminated based on the votes for favorite islanders from the audience, there are three empty spots for new islanders allowing Elly Steffan, Bailey Marshall, and Alana Paolucci to tempt the OG islanders. When the new islanders were announced, Alana immediately caught everybody's attention. This blonde bombshell's curvy body had fans praising the showrunners for bringing in a plus-sized girl on the show. Read on to know more about Alana.
