Looks like Ariana Madix has landed yet another coveted TV gig.
The “Vanderpump Rules” star – who confirmed she’s joining Season 32 of “Dancing With the Stars” earlier this week – teased an upcoming appearance on “Love Island USA.”
The reality star, 38, took to TikTok Saturday night to share a cryptic post with her fans.
“Islanders: ready to shake things up? Don’t worry, I don’t bite 😘,” she captioned the selfie video, which showed her mouthing the words to a popular audio clip from the series.
Madix, whose fame skyrocketed after her former boyfriend Tom Sandoval had a months-long affair with ex-BFF Raquel Leviss, stunned in a lime green bikini top.
She completed the look with black Quay sunglasses and gold hoop earrings, with her blond tresses slicked back into a ponytail.

Fans were quick to suggest Madix could be taking over Sarah Hyland’s hosting gig for the show’s upcoming fifth season, which premieres July 18 on Peacock.

However, a source told Page Six that is not the case.
“Ariana is not the host,” the insider dished, declining to divulge any further information.

“There are 24 hours in each day, unless you’re @ariana madix b stays working 32/7 👏🏽👏🏽,” one person wrote.
“Ariana what are you doing here?! 😂” another joked.

While Madix’s role on the reality dating show remains unclear, it’s unlikely she will be a contestant, as she is currently dating fitness trainer Daniel Wai.
The couple were first spotted making out at Coachella in April and have continued to pack on the PDA in the months since. Most recently, they were seen celebrating the Fourth of July together in Los Angeles.
Madix’s teaser announcement came just one day after the reality star confirmed she’ll be competing on Season 32 of “Dancing with the Stars.”

The “Vanderpump Rules” star appeared alongside judge Derek Hough at her new sandwich shop, Something About Her, where they made the announcement in a video that aired Friday on “Good Morning America.”
“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.”
As for who she’ll be competing against? Fans will have to wait until Sept. 13 when the full lineup for the new season will be announced on “GMA.”
