'save her'
Love Island star Paige’s family and friends beg ‘save my gal from this hell’
LOVE Island star Paige Thorne's family have asked for someone to "save my gal from this hell" after Jacques O'Neill's heartrate soared for ex Gemma Owen.
While the paramedic is in the ITV2 villa, her nearest and dearest have taken over her social media accounts to interact with fans.

Last night, Paige, 24, opted to stick with Jacques, 23, in the re-coupling despite their nasty war of words on Tuesday night.
The latest episode of Love Island saw the rugby star offer up a grovelling apology for his behaviour after the heart-rate challenge.
A satisfied Paige then went on to couple up with Jacques, but her friends and family have revealed they are NOT impressed.
They responded to fans on Twitter campaigning against the pairing, as they begged producers to "save her" from "hell".

"OH MY GOD JACQUES? You could have lied," one fan had written in response to the couples' argument on Tuesday night.
Her friends and family in charge of the Twitter account re-tweeted the message, and wrote back: "Someone save my gal from this hell."
Reposted to Reddit, fans of the show were pleased to see that those close to Paige were "campaigning against the pairing".
"Can't blame them. This is one of the rare times I fully support Paige's loved-ones publicly campaigning against this pairing," one wrote.

"This is the Twitter account linked from her Instagram, seems like her handler isn’t a big fan of Jacques (unsurprisingly!)," a second added.
"I support it. If Paige is still with Jacques when the family visits, I hope they give him a piece of their mind," a third said.
It comes after fans slammed Jacques for GASLIGHTING Paige - who have begged producers to step in between them.
Viewers flooded Twitter on Tuesday night to slam the pro rugby player for "manipulating" the paramedic.

Jacques probed: "I had a good night until the girls started sulking. What are you guys all sulking about? It's a challenge mate."
Looking confused, Paige replied: "What are you coming at me for? Who are you coming at? I know it's not me with that attitude."
"Because your face - you're p***ed off about something so you either tell me or you don't," Jacques continued.
Despite her denials, Jacques pressed again: "You're talking s**t. You may as well just tell me. Did you not enjoy the dance?"
"Are you actually bothered about me and Gem?" he asked, as Paige replied: "It's not exactly great, is it? Could've been any other girl."
"Did you not see what Gem did to me, and I did to Gem? We kept it like a kiss on the cheek," Jacques defended himself.
Paige joked: "Well, maybe that was enough," before the sports star flew off the handle, telling her to "f**k off".
