During a visit to the show's set in Malta last summer, Windey told PEOPLE why she said yes to the gig and teases what viewers can expect from the "sex fiends" who board the yacht
Love Overboard premieres March 26 on Hulu
Gabby Windey did not hold back as she made her hosting debut on Hulu's newest reality dating show, Love Overboard.
The Traitors winner brings her signature sarcasm and charm on board a luxury yacht for the series, which was executive produced by Alex Cooper, and brings together a gaggle of sexy singles looking for love.
As Windey puts it: "I think they're all perverted and disgusting and sex fiends, and that's why they're here."
Speaking to PEOPLE aboard the yacht during Love Overboard's filming in Malta in June 2025, Windey explains how she views the group of contestants she's been guiding through the series all summer long. "I think this is really a National Geographic. This is what happens when you put hot, horny people together," she says. "This is the wild. This is nature."

Her tendency to call the contestants out on their behavior is part of what landed her the gig — which is a rarity in itself, as she admits, "Notoriously, I do say no to everything, but I knew this was going to be different."
"Everyone's like, 'What's next? What's next?' But I feel like everything that's meant to be has kind of fallen into my lap. So when I got the call, they were like, 'There's this new reality show, and they're looking for a host. It's very sought-after,' and I'm like, that's the thing. If you want to get me to move, tell me how exclusive it is," she says of how she came to be host. "Tell me Millie Bobby Brown is my competition and I'm going to work my ass off."
Work her ass off is "exactly what I did in the chemistry test," she says. "I was calling everyone a pervert and a sick freak, and they loved it. Here I am."

Though Call Her Daddy podcast host Cooper, 31, executive-produced the series — and hand-selected all 22 cast members — Windey had not been in touch with her while filming over the summer.
"But I know she's really involved, so I feel just grateful for the opportunity that there's so much buzz around the show," she says. "[And] that I haven't had any hosting experience, so everyone's really taking a chance on me. It's been great."
Despite having an extensive history herself on reality TV — she was one of Clayton Echard's final contestants on The Bachelor, then led The Bachelorette with Rachel Recchia in 2022, and later won The Traitors — Windey says being a host feels like a totally new experience.
"One thing that I feel like I've always tried to do is just maintain my authenticity, and I feel like it's gotten me this far. So I think sometimes as a host it's easy to kind of fall into, like, oh, I'm just delivering information. But I really wanted to make it my own," she says. "I think it's given me practice in being in front of the camera for sure and ways to insert myself and my personality into everything."
In short: "You've never seen anything like this before," she promises.

Per the official synopsis, Love Overboard brings together "sexy singles [who] are ready to mix and mingle and find love," but there's a big twist.
"Gaining access to the yacht's extravagant amenities won't be so simple. As the journey unfolds, romance ignites; alliances form; and hearts are shattered. In the end, only one couple will reign supreme. Who will rise to the top, and who will be left stranded?"
All nine episodes of Love Overboard premiere March 26 on Hulu.
