Love Island fans were left fuming after they were robbed of a show staple following Jacques O'Neill's emotional exit.
The rugby player shocked fans as he decided to quit the ITV2 villa, admitting he just didn't feel like he was being himself and decided he needed to go and give Paige Thorne some space so he can be himself for her.
In an emotional chat, Jacques told her: "You’ve got to still enjoy your time here. Just do what you need to do and I’ll be waiting for you. I just know for us to work I need us to get back to myself and the only way I’m going to get back to myself is going home."
Paige then added: "I don’t want you to go but also I want you to be happy and it hurts me seeing you in this way."
He then gathered the Islanders around the firepit and admitted he was struggling to be himself.
Jacques added: "I just feel like lately, I just can’t be myself. I’m trying my best but I’m not a fake person and I’m not going to start faking things and act like I’m okay when things inside aren’t actually okay. For me and Paige to work I need to be at my best and if that means removing myself from the situation and waiting for Paige when she gets out then that I’m going to do."
His exit was also an emotional one for Luca Bish, who cried as he said "it wouldn't be the same without" Jacques, and admitted if it wasn't for Gemma Owen, he would be leaving with him too.
However, some fans were left frustrated that there was no first look preview at the end of the show following Jacques' emotional exit, and took to Twitter to fume over the missing part of the programme.
"After all of that no preview… #LoveIsland," one annoyed fan wrote as a second took to social media to vent their frustration, writing: "No tomorrow night preview after all that???? rude. #LoveIsland."
"Huuuh where is my preview for tomorrow??? I endured this whole hour for no hope given for tomorrow #LoveIsland," a third shared, with a fourth writing: "No preview???? what a waste of time #loveisland."
Others predicted a big secret was being kept from viewers ahead of the next episode.
"Do we think we got no preview for tomorrow nights because Paige might have left too? #LoveIsland," one said, as another suggested: "No preview - Paige kisses Adam innit I’m calling it now #loveisland."
