Love Island viewers were concerned for Jacques O'Neill's well-being after he quit the villa.
The 23-year-old had been coupled up with Paige Thorne on the popular dating programme. However, their relationship was rocked after Jacques antics in Casa Amor.
The two had cleared the air, but tensions were raised in the latest programme when Adam Collard set his sights on Paige. Gemma Owen revealed Adam had been "slagging" Jacques off behind his back, which prompted a confrontation between the Rugby League player and the returning Islander.

Jacques later admitted he was struggling in the villa and tearfully told Paige he needed to exit to get back to his normal self. 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." In the beach hut, Jacques later 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."
Jacques faced backlash after his actions in Casa Amor, which prompted his family to reveal he suffers with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). An Instagram post said: "Jacques was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 9 years old. By no means is this a get out clause for his actions but it is to show that he can fundamentally struggle with his emotions at times.
"He is an amazing person who I’m proud to call my friend/little brother. All the hate thrown towards Jacques doesn’t go to him directly….It comes to his loved ones who have always supported him and not just whilst he is on Love Island.
"Love Island, although real, is still a show where the producers do have control and we see 45minutes out of the 1440 in 24hours. Please be kind"
The NHS website said the symptoms of ADHD in adults can be "difficult to define". It added: "The way in which inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness affect adults can be very different from the way they affect children. For example, hyperactivity tends to decrease in adults, while inattentiveness tends to remain as the pressures of adult life increase.
The NHS said specialists have suggested the following as a list of symptoms associated with ADHD in adults:
- carelessness and lack of attention to detail
- continually starting new tasks before finishing old ones
- poor organisational skills
- inability to focus or prioritise
- continually losing or misplacing things
- forgetfulness
- restlessness and edginess
- difficulty keeping quiet, and speaking out of turn
- blurting out responses and often interrupting others
- mood swings, irritability and a quick temper
- inability to deal with stress
- extreme impatience
- taking risks in activities, often with little or no regard for personal safety or the safety of others – for example, driving dangerously
