Jacques O’Neill
(Picture: ITV)Love Island star Jacques O’Neill has left the villa after his romance with Paige Thorne ended.
The TV personality made the decision to quit the show, just hours after bombshell Adam Collard made it clear he wanted to get to know Paige in the villa.
His reasons for leaving will become clear in Tuesday’s explosive episode.
A Love Island spokesperson said: “Jacques has made the decision to leave the Villa.
“He will explain his reasons to the Islanders during tonight’s episode. We fully support his decision and look forward to seeing what’s next for Jacques.”
The villa descended into chaos after Adam, who previously starred on Love Island series four, made a comeback to the show.
At the end of Monday’s episode, a preview for Tuesday revealed a furious Jacques slamming the newcomer as “nothing” in a discussion with Paige.
Their latest fight comes after Gemma Owen, who previously dated Jacques in the outside world, told him: “He [Adam] has been proper sl***ing you off.”
Then speaking to Paige in the garden, he said: “Has Adam been sl***ing me off? Who the f**k is he? He’s just another geezer who’s already been on the show. He’s f*****g nothing mate.”
Earlier in Monday’s episode, Paige enjoyed a chat with Adam and later she confessed in the beach hut that she found him “fit”.
She told the cameras about Adam: “He’s so fit. No I’m not going to lie, he is very fit.”
Jacques and Paige’s romance has been on rocky ground following the explosive Casa Amor segment.
Although he chose to recouple with Paige, he enjoyed a kiss with potential love interest Cheyanne Kerr while she was away from the main villa.
Meanwhile, Paige had spent her time in Casa Amor waiting to reunite with Jacques.
The shock revelation at the firepit left her in tears and the former couple had a furious fight over his flirtation.
In a bid to get her back, Jacques opened up about his feelings after spending a sleepless night writing how he truly felt down on his phone.
He told Paige: “The first day I walked in it’s been me and you, from the first moment I seen you I thought you were beautiful to only find out you’re as beautiful as you are on the outside as you are on the inside.
“We get on like I’ve never got on with anyone in my life before, I literally see you as my best friend already and it’s only been four weeks.
“I’ve never been so excited to take a girl home to meet my mum (I know she’s going to adore you).”
They had just begun to repatch their relationship when Adam come onto the scene and made his intentions clear that he was interested in Paige.
Adam then proceeded to throw shade at Jacques while making a move on Paige, sparking the fight which will air in Tuesday’s episode.
