ITV Love Island fans think they know real reason behind Jacques O'Neill's tears

Tonight's episode of Love Island was an emotional one for many of the islanders - mainly Jacques O'Neill and Paige Thorne.

The couple came to blows after the fall out of second villa Casa Amor. During the villa twist both islanders chose to "stick" with their original couple as they reunited last night.

However, Casa Amor girl Cheyanne dropped a huge bombshell before being dumped. She revealed she had grown a connection with Jacques behind Paige's back - the pair had been cuddling and kissing and even shared a bed together.

Paige was left heartbroken at the revelation. Tonight she called him out for his behaviour as she questioned his motives behind why he had treated her that way.

She said: “I get Casa is a test, but it’s only a test if you want it to be a test and you only want tests if you feel like something is missing or if you feel like something’s not 100%.

“Why did you do it if you didn’t have any of those things with her [Cheyanne] or if you genuinely felt that way about me? Because it’s not adding up. I’m not sure you quite understand how…”

Jacques cut her off as he said: "Look I know you’re hurt mate, I know you are. You deserve better." Paige asked: "So why couldn't you have just been better then?"

Jacques remained silent, staring at the floor as Paige got up and left. She later told the girls that he hadn't even apologised and cried on Dami's shoulder.

Back in the garden, Jacques fought his emotions as he had tears in his eyes too. His best friend Luca tried to comfort him, but fans at home thought there was more to the tears. They accused him of crying because he realised he had potentially lost out on any winnings, not because of Paige.

Taking to Twitter, Herm said: "Jacques is crying because of the money. You weren’t getting it anyway. #LoveIsland." Another user said: "Tears Jacques he’s crying cause he’s thinking the money is out the bag #loveisland."

Meanwhile, Lam said: "Jacques trying the hardest to make himself cry so Paige will feel sorry for him #LoveIsland." And Fran said: "Jacques is crying because he doesn’t want to say 'sorry' #LoveIsland - I have no sympathy for him right now."

Love Island airs at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub
