Love Island's Jay Younger clashes with Jacques after two islanders dumped

ITV's Love Island saw another dumping on Friday's (July 1) episode and it quickly sparked tension between Jay Younger and Jacques O'Neil.

Antigoni Buxton and Charlie Radnedge became the latest islanders to leave after their fellow contestants had to choose who to eliminate. East Lothian's Jay was up for elimination but the girls sent home Charlie, while the boys chose Antigone.

Earlier this week, Jay had chatted to Antigone to ask about 'coupling up', revealing he wanted to get to know her better, but she had hit back saying she didn't want to be a second choice. Although when speaking to the girls, she admitted she was still interested in him.

While the boys were helping Charlie pack, Jay, shocked at the result, confronted them, asking them why they chose Antigone, slamming rugby league player Jacques.

As the Mirror reports, Jay said: "What was your thought process behind that one?"

Jacques replied: "Jay, just shut up man, do you know what I mean," to which Jay then apologised.

Viewers were taken back by the response, with some calling it a 'red flag'.

One tweeted: "The way Jacques spoke to Jay was just not needed, he only tried to ask a question."

"Jacques telling Jay to shut up. He’s a walking red flag", another added.

And a third hit back: "Jay asks why and Jacques shuts him down in the rudest way… I hate Jacques and how he talks to people."

Love Island is on ITV2 at 9pm Monday-Friday and Sunday and available on ITV Hub.
