ITV2 Love Island contestant Jacques' mum hits back at fans who are posting 'nasty messages'

Love Island contestant Jacques' mum has hit back at fans of the show who have been posting 'nasty messages' online. It comes after the contestant's mum posted a plea on social media for it to stop.

Jacques O'Neill's mum has asked for the comments to stop by telling followers that they 'hurt'. Janet Wright posted her plea on Instagram after comments were made by fellow contestant Remi who was axed from the ITV2 show.

Chronicle Live reports that Remi has since called Jacques a 'bully' after leaving the hit programme. He claims that Jacques made his time on Love Island 's***'.

Ms Wright posted a photo of herself with her son on the rugby field and wrote: "People sending nasty messages to me please can you stop. It does hurt. Thank you."

Her followers were quick to offer support. One told her to "pay no attention". Another follower said: "Ignore the trolls! They troll because they don't have lives and have got nothing better to do."

Remi claimed he had to stick up for himself on YouTube series Reality with Will Njobvu. He said his co-star would "constantly" mimic and make fun of his fellow Islanders, Birmingham Live reports.

Remi said: "There was a lot of stuff that wasn't aired - a lot of stuff going on. So basically - me and Jacques got into quite a lot of arguments and it just made my experience s***t. It ruined it for me."

"People were saying, "It's because he's got a rugby persona' - but you can't treat people like that," Remi added.
