Love Island's top boss Mike Spencer has opened up about the real reason for Jacques O'Neill leaving the ITV dating contest. The professional rugby player had a tearful exit from the hit reality show this week for his mental well-being.
An emotional Jacques, 23, said he needed to "get back to himself" after reconciling with his other half in the villa Paige Thorne following a rocky time with their relationship put to the test by the arrival of the Casa Amor bombshells. Jacques, who worked at winning Paige back after getting cosy with newcomer Cheyanne Kerr, was then rattled by the arrival of returning Islander Adam Collard from the 2018 series.
Paige admitted she was interested in hunky Adam and Jacques was riled up after being told by Gemma Owen: "Oh he was proper slagging you off." In the beach hut he demanded to know: "Who the f*** is he? Just another geezer who's been on the show."
