Jacques O'Neill has reacted to Paige Thorne kissing Adam Collard. In an interview that aired on Love Island: Aftersun on Sunday, July 17, the former Islander said of his relationship with the Welsh paramedic: "We had a good connection and were really getting on. I did see things on the outside working between us but as I say, she’s doing what she needs to do."
Jacques sensationally quit the Love Island villa earlier in the week in a series of shocking moments. You can read more about this here. Jacques reminded Aftersun viewers that he had told Paige to "crack on" after breaking the news he would be leaving, as he had done in Casa Amor with Cheyanne Kerr.
Since exiting the show, Jacques has issued a lengthy statement in The Sun, calling the decision to take part, "the worst decision of his life". The 23-year-old rugby player, who has ADHD, touched on the ITV2 show's "horrific impact" on his family. His mum, Janet Wright, has said that, after the first couple of weeks of the show, she started to get "awful" messages. She said: "I started to get horrible private messages on Facebook, people were saying they wished my son and I were dead, it was awful."
