Jacques O'Neill left the villa on Tuesday after new bombshell Adam Collard raised tensions.
After entering the villa as a bombshell, Love Island 2018 contestant Adam Collard instantly set his sights on Paige. Speaking to multiple girls beforehand, he eventually told her she was the one he had his sights set on along with Gemma. Paige has been coupled with Jacques for weeks and has just recently cleared the air after he cheated on her during Casa Amor.
During tonight's show, the boys appeared to be anxious about Adam's arrival as all of them kept their partners close given his womanising ways.

During a group conversation, Gemma told Jacques that Adam has been talking about him behind his back as she said: "Oh he was proper slagging you off."
Jacques then stormed over to Paige to seek answers as he said: "Who the f*ck is he? Just another geezer that's been on this show, he's f***ing nothing mate." Rattled by the comments and the prospect of possibly losing Paige, Jacques took out his frustration on the other islanders as he told Billy to "F*** off."
Jacques admitted he was struggling in the villa and told Paige he thought she was "too good for him" after he managed to calm down. In bed, he added: "He's going to break me. You have the best of me and you have the worst of me."
The next day he became emotional, shedding a tear as he spoke to Paige on the terrace. He said: "You mean so much to me you know that. The past two weeks have been hard. I've been putting on a brave face but things are getting to me.
"I just wish I could finish my journey off in here with you but I'm going to go home today." Paige and Jacques embraced each other as they began weeping together. Jacques said he needed to get back to his former self and leaving the villa was the only way to do so. Paige admitted she didn't want him to go but she wanted him to be happy.
In the beach hut, Jacques said: "I've never felt this way for anyone so yeah, I just want to get home and be myself again and carry things on on the outside." Following his one-to-one with Paige, he gathered the other islanders around the firepit to inform them of his decision.
After his emotional explanation, viewers shared their concerns about his reasons for leaving.
One viewer said: "As much as I don’t like the way Jacques treats Paige, I do hope the aftercare team look after him. He clearly has a lot going through his head and I'm seriously worried about him. Leaving may be the best option for Jacques all in all."
Another added: "Praying for Jacques's mental health once he gets on social media after leaving the villa. people can be so cruel and it’s not easy."
A third viewer said: "Kind of feel sorry for Jacques in a way. He’s clearly so insecure and just can’t handle these situations at all. Fingers crossed he gets the help and support he needs after leaving the villa."
