Eagle-eyed Love Island viewers were scanning the reaction of the islanders as Jacques O'Neill announced his exit. The 23-year-old couldn't hide his emotions as he decided it was best he left as he needed to "get back to himself".
The rugby player announced his shock exit during Tuesday’s episode (July 12) after it was confirmed by ITV earlier in the day, who said it 'supported' his decision. Jacques was seen explaining that he felt the best thing for his relationship with Paige Thorne, 24, was for him to return home so he could be at his "best" for her.
It comes after he has spent the last number of days attempting to win back Paige after it was revealed he kissed Cheyanne Kerr while she was away in Casa Amor. Monday's episode saw them continue to work through issues with Jacques finding himself out of the 'dog house'. However, the return of former contestant Adam Collard caused a fresh stir amongst the pair.
