Love Island fans have been left stunned as it has been revealed that Davide Sanclimenti and Jacques O'Neill knew each other before entering the villa. Despite claiming to be strangers fans have now found proof that the two knew each other, as The Mirror reports.
It has been spotted by fans that Jacques has commented on Davide's Instagram post in 2021. Davide had shared a snap of himself at the gym to which Jacques replied: "You boys need to start training."
In response, Davide said: "@jacques9oneill_ more gym and less parties I guess." Jacques then teased: "@davide_sanclimenti more gym keep the amount of parties the same."

A screenshot of their comments was posted to Twitter by a fan. They said: "Wonder why Jacques had Davide's back. These boys were friends before Love Island."
Many viewers were shocked by the friendship, one posted: "My heads absolutely gone. So Jacques and Davide knew each other and were following each other on IG prior to going into the villa and then acted like it was the first time meeting each other? Does that mean Davide knew Gemma as well?"
Gemma Owen, the daughter of footballing star Michael Owen, is also in the villa and used to date Jacques before they broke up. This has prompted some fans to question if Davide also knew Gemma.
Jacques, who is paired up with Welsh contestant Paige, has been seen comforting Davide in the villa after Davide and Ekin-Su Culculoglu had a huge argument, however, some fans were not convinced the two did know each other.
One said: "That comment is from a photo shoot Davide did for Okami (sportswear). Jacques wears the brand. Doesn’t necessarily mean they know each other in person but even if they do, who cares?"
Davide has recently been saved by Gemma after Ekin-Su picked Jay Younger over him to couple up with and new bombshell Danica Taylor chose Luca Bish, who Gemma was coupled with.
