ITV has denied claims that Love Island contestant Jacques O’Neill was removed from the villa for impersonating deaf contestant Tasha Ghouri after allegations circulated on social media.
The unsubstantiated allegations went viral on social media after the 23-year-old rugby player quit the Love Island villa early in shock scenes.

ITV has denied the claims, saying they are completely false. At the time of Jacques’s exit, a Love Island spokesperson said: “Jacques has made the decision to leave the Villa.
