Love Island's Cheyenne compares Jacques to Liam Reardon after brutal dumping

Love Island 's Cheyanne Kerr has compared Jacques O'Neill to former contestant Liam Reardon after being dumped from the villa.

Thursday night's episode of the ITV2 show featured the most dramatic recoupling yet as the girls returned from Casa Amor.

New girl Cheyanne was stunned when Jacques decided to stick with Paige Thorne, as the pair had spent the last few days kissing and sharing a bed.

As she was left single, Cheyanne was sent packing alongside five other contestants who had failed to couple up with someone.

Asked how it felt to leave the series so soon, Cheyanne said: "It’s a bittersweet feeling. I didn’t want to remain in there after I’d felt a connection with someone and he remained in his couple.

"I spent the majority of my time with Jacques. We shared a bed together and I know he said he wanted to get to know me more.

"We’d kissed, then when it came to the recoupling, he stuck with Paige. It was a bit like the Liam and Millie situation last year."

Cheyanne continued: "I didn’t know what he was going to do until the last minute. I genuinely didn’t have a clue so that just shows how much we’d spoken and got along."

The blonde decided to speak up after Paige walked back into the main villa and cosied up to Jacques by the fire pit.

She was also seen having a quick word with Paige before she left the property, and has now revealed what she actually said.

"I mentioned to Paige afterwards it wasn’t personal, I just wanted her to know what he’s like," Cheyanne confirmed.

Asked who she thinks will go the distance, Cheyanne said: "I would say Luca and Gemma. I feel like it’s very genuine, the way he speaks about her and stuff. It’s dead cute.

"He wasn’t interested in getting to know anyone, he was just set on Gemma. Whereas the other boys it was like, it’s a test.

"It’s not a test if you’re sharing a bed and kissing someone. Luca’s literally staying on a daybed."

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
