They're returning to Paradise

While Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson did not return as part of the cast for the fourth season of Bachelor in Paradise, both are set to appear during a special for the hit spinoff following their sexual encounter on the first night of filming,, E! News has learned. No details have been released about the special, but it would likely mark the first time Corinne and DeMario will see each other following their sexual interaction that caused two producers to file complaints that shut down production in June, with Warner Bros. eventually clearing BIP of any wrongdoing after an internal investigation.

"I am very happy to be appearing on the Bachelor In Paradise Special," Corinne said in a statement to E! News.
