2022-08-08

Rugby ace Jacques O'Neill has spoken about his experience in the Love Island villa and what he described as his "terrible" diet during his stint on the show.

The former Castleford Tigers star walked from the villa after claiming his mental health was deteriorating and has since gone on to shed light on his experience.

Now, the 23-year-old has revealed how he got by on a "terrible" diet which saw him eat the same thing, morning, noon and night.

Jacques spoke to his former co-stars Luca Bish and Dami Hope during a recent Instagram Live just hours before he was noticeably absent from the reunion episode.

He told viewers that he ate "nothing but hummus and crisps for lunch and tea" throughout his stay in the Majorca villa.

Elsewhere, he went on to share his thoughts on ex-girlfriend Paige Thorne who coupled up with the ultimate bombshell, Adam Collard who returned to the programme.

One fan who watched the Instagram Live dared to ask about Paige and Adam but Jacques decided to answer the question as he said: "Well, her mum seems to love him doesn't she? He's in there with the fam!"

This is a reference to the famous Meet The Parents episode which aired on July 31, which saw Paige's mum make a savage dig at Adam as she said: "Sorry, I'm not buying it."

While remaining civil, Jacques continued: "Nah, Paige and Adam seem really happy together, best of luck to them."

But while Jacques was absent from the Love Island reunion which aired on Sunday (August 7), fans were less than impressed when host Laura Whitmore failed to grill Paige over her ex.

"#LoveIsland Laura didn't even ask Paige about Jacques???! She's such a useless host get her off," fumed one viewer.

Another added: "Laura at least address the Jacques/Paige/Adam beef PLEASEEEE FFS."

"Genuinely don't care Laura, ask Paige about Jacques #loveisland," echoed a third.

This comes after Jacques decided not to attend the ITV2 televised just one week after the final Islanders jetted out of Majorca.

Jacques "snubbed" the ITV2 show's reunion when it was filmed on Thursday night [August 4] in order to "avoid Paige and Adam".

A source told The Sun that all of this year's Islanders were put up in a hotel in London for the occasion, meaning that there was "no need for anyone to miss out".

The source went on to say: "Unfortunately, Jacques has decided he's just not ready to see Paige quite yet and especially not with Adam."

Adding: "He’s made the decision to wait for a more suitable moment to talk to her again after everything he's been through."
