Reality TV

Ariana Madix has officially entered the villa.

The “Vanderpump Rules” star gave fans a glimpse into her guest appearance on “Love Island USA” Monday.

“I can’t believe i’m popping in the @loveislandUSA villa this week!” she wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of herself sitting at the iconic fire pit. “like.. i am GATHERED around the fire pit! you can watch the fun on @peacock.”

Madix, who wore a white cut-out dress and silver heels, was photographed sitting on a pink bench in front of a neon sign that read, “It was always you.”

In a second snap posted to her Instagram Story, the Bravolebrity was all smiles while checking out the show’s set in Fiji.

The 38-year-old added the song “What Dreams Are Made Of” atop the photo of herself posing in front of another light-up sign, which read “My type on paper.”

While it’s unclear exactly what Madix will be doing during her appearance on the dating competition show, fans seemed to love the reality crossover.

“big slay bombshell has entered the villa,” one person commented, while a second user added, “love seeing you win at life.”

“He said ‘I don’t have time to watch 50 goddamn episodes of love island’ so she said that’s fine I’ll just go be on the show 😘💋🌴,” a third added, referencing one of Madix’s fights with then-boyfriend Tom Sandoval during Season 10 of “VPR.”

Madix first teased her appearance on the dating show on TikTok earlier this month.

In the short clip, Madix mouthed the words to a popular audio clip from the series while wearing a lime green bikini top and black cat-eye sunglasses.

“Islanders: ready to shake things up? Don’t worry, I don’t bite 😘,” she captioned the selfie video.

While many fans thought Madix might be taking over Sarah Hyland’s hosting gig, sources confirmed to Page Six at the time that the sandwich shop owner was “not the host.”

It’s also unlikely that Madix will be a contestant on the show as she is currently dating fitness trainer Daniel Wai and filming Season 11 of “VPR.”

On top of that, the reality TV star’s schedule is about to be even more hectic as she starts to prepare for Season 32 of “Dancing with the Stars.”

Madix appeared alongside judge Derek Hough at her new sandwich shop, Something About Her, where they made the exciting announcement earlier this month.

“This season on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ we are going absolutely mad – mad for Madix,” Hough said in the clip. “That’s right! Say goodbye to the drama and hello to the dance floor.”

The full “DWTS” lineup will be announced on “Good Morning America” on Sept. 13.
