ITV Love Island's Paige Thorne in 'contact' with Jacques O'Neill after revealing surprise engagement

Love Island’s Paige Thorne has revealed she is back in 'slight contact' with her former flame Jacques O'Neill after their emotional time on the show. During the 2022 series of the ITV2 dating show over the summer, there were tearful scenes as former rugby star Jacques decided to quit the show.

He decided to leave the villa amid the fallout of annual 'relationship test' Casa Amor, which saw his relationship with Welsh paramedic Paige on the rocks, saying he needed to "get back to himself". After leaving the villa, Jacques said that taking part in the show was the 'worst decision of his life'. But he has since signed to Manchester's Social PR, run by former islander Scott Thomas.

Paige then struck up a relationship with Love Island returnee Adam Collard in the Mallorcan villa. The couple missed out on a place in the final on the show over the summer which was eventually won by Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti.
