A former team-mate of Love Island star Jacques O'Neill has revealed that he once went the wrong way on the motorway - while riding a bicycle! O'Neill, 23, was contracted to Castleford Tigers before being released to head into the villa but made quite an impression both on and off the field with his teammates.
O'Neill was popular among his former teammates but was at times on the receiving of practical jokes, with one of those re-told by former Tigers captain. Speaking on Proper Sport, the England international explained how O'Neill had managed to get himself in a near-life-or-death scenario. After describing him as a 'lovely kid', Gale told the tale of O'Neill's bicycle adventure.
"His first full week in training, he doesn't drive or anything like that. He's living in Beeston with one of the conditioners. He says to Paul McShane, who lives in Belle Isle, can he get a lift. Paul says 'yeah you'll have to be at mine for eight in the morning'.
