Love Island star Adam Collard has hit back after fellow contestant Jacques O'Neill made a dig at his relationship with Paige Thorne. Prior to coupling up with Adam, Paige was with Jacques, who would sensationally quit the series of his own accord.
During an Instagram Live with Luca Bish on Sunday, August 7, Luca read out a fan question that asked: "What do you think of Adam and Paige's relationship?" Rugby player Jacques said of his ex's new relationship: "They seem to get on really well, they seem very happy together." This prompted Luca to quip: "Glad the mum approves, "to which Jacques joked: "Yeah, well her mum seems really fond of Adam so you know." During Love Island's annual 'family and friends' episode, Paige's mum told her that she didn't think he was being genuine.
Taking to Twitter to respond to Jacques' remarks, Adam wrote: "Humble in defeat our kid, chin up".
