Paige Thorne has revealed she is 'back in contact' with Love Island ex Jacques O'Neill, after her split from Adam Collard, as well as claiming there was more than meets the eye to the cheating allegations against him.
Welsh paramedic Paige and rugby player and Gemma Owen's ex Jacques grew close after he made an arrival as an early bombshell in the latest series of the ITV show. The two were earmarked as potential favourites to win Love Island at one point, before things soured slightly and Jacques 'betrayed' Paige by kissing another girl while she was in Casa Amor. As things looked like getting back on track, the apple cart was upset when Adam entered the villa, four years after he first starred on the show.
Jacques quit Love Island just a day later, telling Paige he was leaving to become "a better person," in the hope they'd have a future together. However, she wasted little time in getting to know Adam better, with the two becoming an item and staying in the villa until the day before the final, exiting the show in fifth place.
