The gang were left shocked when Michael Owens' daughter Gemma, 19, revealed that they were former lovers.

But now he's currently happy in a couple with Paige Thorne, 24.

Jacques has certainly impressed the paramedic and viewers at home with his muscular physique.

But he's not always looked like that, as a picture uploaded to his Instagram earlier today showed his body before he started hitting the gym.

In the snap Jacques is wearing black shorts, a pair of trainers and sunglasses on his head.

The reality star has a huge smile on his face standing next to his mum, who is rocking a bright pink dress.

Things seem to be going from strength to strength between Jacques and Paige as they shared their first kiss earlier this week.

On Tuesday night's episode the pair spent a night in the Hideaway, and fans are convinced that the pair had sex after spotting a telltale 'clue'.

Viewers saw something that made them insist the pair went all the way: a bottle of lubricant next to the bed.

One tweeted: "Jacques and Paige deffo had sex in there."

Replying, another said: "The lube told me they definitely did."

Despite that, some have spotted ‘red flags’ after Jacques made TWO shady comments to Paige.

Posting on , one wrote: "When Jacques was talking to the boys after deciding they were going to kiss, he said something along the lines of 'I can already tell she's smitten with me already'.

"I feel like that's a red flag for me."

Another said: "A huge heartbreak is coming.

"[Jacques] also mentioned once he needed to see how good she looks when dressed up, basically implying she was plain and could do with makeup," they added.
