Love Island's Jacques prompts 'mental health' plea from concerned fans as trolls come under fire

Concerned Love Island fans have urged online trolls to be mindful of Jacques O'Neill's mental health after he was hit with a barrage of abuse following his exit from the show.

After going into the show at the end of the first week as a bombshell, Gemma Owen's ex Jacques grew close to Paige Thorne, with the Cumbrian rugby player and Welsh paramedic being an item for a month, despite their romance suffering a few bumps in the road due to the results of the heart rate challenge and him kissing another girl in Casa Amor.

On Tuesday night's Love Island, viewers saw Jacques become irate after being told by Gemma that new boy Adam Collard had been slagging him off, with Paige look unimpressed by his outburst. And, then after sleeping on things, Jacques told Paige he'd decided to quit in a tearful exchange that had them both in tears.
