ITV Love Island's Jacques O'Neill becoming 'better version' of himself gets cheeky response from Corrie's Ryan Thomas

Love Island star Jacques O'Neill has returned to social media after sharing a statement apologising for his behaviour during his time in the villa and upon leaving Spain. The former rugby star quit the ITV2 dating show last month in one of the most emotional moments in the 2022 series.

He decided to leave the villa amid the fallout of annual 'relationship test' stage Casa Amor, saying he needed to 'get back to himself.' After returning to the UK Jacques said that taking part in the show was the 'worst decision of his life'.

In the statement fellow Islander Gemma Owen's ex-boyfriend said "there is work that needs to be done on myself" and that he is "not asking for sympathy." Jacques' statement came after fellow Islander Remi Lambert made a post in which he claimed he felt picked on by Jacques and Luca Bish.
