Love Island's Jacques makes candid admission during 'uncomfortable' Laura Whitmore interview

Jacques O'Neill has admitted he needs to 'do a lot of work' on himself during an interview with Love Island host Laura Whitmore which some viewers deemed too uncomfortable to watch.

It's been nearly a week since the rugby player made the decision to quit the ITV show, with both him and love interest Paige Thorne in tears as he revealed his decision to leave after over a month in the villa. Jacques walked out in emotional and, speaking out about his departure at the weekend, said that doing Love Island was the 'worst decision' of his life.

Writing at length on Instagram, the 23-year-old admitted h e'd watched some episodes and found them a tough watch, posting: "I’ve watched back the episodes that I got the most hate for and listen I understand why I did. I’ve got a lot of work to do for myself to become a better person. I know my family come out and said about my ADHD while I was in the villa but that is no excuse for me.
