Paige DeSorbo couldn't handle the Fiji heat—literally.

The Summer House alum suffered a medical emergency while shooting Love Island USA‘s June 15 episode, leading to her sudden exit from the Peacock series.

"It’s a long filming day, and we started pretty early," Paige explained on her June 17 Giggly Squad podcast episode. "And mind you, I had just landed—not even a full 24 hours that I am there. I’m not even acclimated. But I’m fine, I’m not gonna say that. I’m not gonna be a diva. Like, I’m doing a job."

But midway through filming, the 32-year-old struggled in the tropical temperatures.

"The sun starts beating down on me pretty aggressively," the Bravolebrity continued. "I have a high pain tolerance, so if I’m uncomfortable, I’m really waiting for the last second to tell you, because I don’t want to be a problem. I don’t want to be bothersome."

Despite taking a beta blocker to calm her nerves, Paige—who rocked a suede turtleneck dress for the appearance in which she hosted a game for the season seven contestants—continued to fall ill.

"I’m like an hour and a half into filming and I’m like, 'You know what? Real quick, I’m feeling a little bit queasy. Let me take a moment to myself,'" she recounted. "I throw up."

Even though Paige attempted to power through filming, she began "swaying a little bit" and producers took notice.

"I’m not feeling totally normal, but again, I’m not stopping the show that has so graciously asked me to come on," she added. "I literally sat down [and] passed out."

That's when she realized, "I don’t think I can keep going, and if I do, I really think I will pass out."

Following the episode, fans noticed Paige suddenly exited without any acknowledgement that her guest appearance had concluded.

Despite the scary incident, Paige later thanked host Ariana Madix for welcoming her into the Villa, even if just for s brief moment.

As Paige wrote on Instagram June 16, "Thank you @arianamadix for lending me the islanders."
