Jacques O'Neill has confessed to watching himself on Love Island after 'breaking a rule' to discover some of the harsh things written about him over the last few weeks.
The rugby player and ex of fellow Islander Gemma Owen spent over a month in the villa for the latest series of the ITV dating show, before leaving in emotional scenes earlier this week. Sitting down love interest Paige Thorne to break the news to her that he had decided to quit, Jacques said he was leaving to 'be a better person,' in the hope that they could have a few future away from Love Island.
In his final weeks on the programme, Jacques came under fire for some of his behaviour towards Paige, with his family urging viewers to be kind and his sister revealing that the 23-year-old had been diagnosed at a young age. Jacques has now described the choice to do Love Island as 'the worst decision' of his life, saying, that while he enjoyed the first few weeks in the villa, the last few were the 'worst he'd felt,' in his whole life.
