Love Island star slammed after ‘cruel and disrespectful’ comment about Paige | The Sun
LOVE Island star Jacques O'Neill has come under fire following a "cruel and disrespectful" remark about his partner Paige Thorne.
Fans of the ITV2 dating show flooded social media to complain after he jokingly pretended he didn't know who Paige, 24, was.
Jacques, 23, who coupled up with the paramedic during Love Island's last recoupling, made the gag on the first day of Casa Amor.
The couple – who got back together after they were separated by Jay Younger – have had a bumpy ride in the last week.
Jacques was forced to issue a grovelling apology to Paige after fans slammed him for "gaslighting" her after the heart rate challenge.
The pair were soon back on track and coupled up, and appeared to want to stay faithful to each other during Casa Amor.

However, after waking up in bed in the villa without Paige for the first time, he turned to the boys and joked: "Who is Paige?"
Fans immediately flooded Reddit to complain about the move – slamming the professional rugby star as "disrespectful".
"Jacques has been going on about how Paige is number one and he is focused on her, then he was talking and said 'Paige who?'," one said.
"I don't know what everyone else thinks about this but I think that was really disrespectful."
