Love Island fans ‘work out’ why Jacques quit villa as Adam Collard cracks on with Paige

LOVE Island fans have claimed they've worked out why Jacques O'Neill quit the Majorca villa today.

Unsurprisingly they've wagered it has something to do with Geordie hunk Adam Collard cracking on with his partner Paige Thorne.

The rugby player's shock exit came after he continued his attempts to after it was revealed he kissed while Paige was away in Casa Amor.

Monday's episode then saw the return of Adam, and fellow contestants remarked on how happy Paige seemed while talking to him shortly after his entrance, saying that 23-year-old Jacques was sure to be "so intimidated" by the new arrival.

Adam and Paige were later seen cosying up by the pool together discussing "boyfriend material" and the need to "train boys up" to be in a relationship.

Jacques will explain his decision to leave in tonight's episode of the ITV2 dating show but viewers have already speculated his reasons on Twitter.

One fan said: "my theory is that paige gives adam a chance and jacques’ extremely fragile ego and insecurities couldn’t handle it"

"So does that mean Adam gets cosy with Paige Jacques gets into a huff & leaves the villa," another said.

A third penned: "He has such an inferiority complex. He feels it'll be humiliating if Paige chooses Adam over him."

And a fourth typed on Twitter: "Jacques knew he wasn’t winning that money. He also knew he couldn’t move mad if Paige decided to be open with Adam because he was moving very mad. He also knows he can’t be Adam. Anyway good riddance"

The arrival of Adam came the day after Jacques and Paige survived a dramatic dumping which spelled the end for Jay Younger and Chyna Ellis.

Afterwards, Jacques took Paige aside and read her an emotional message he had composed on his phone, with the pair seemingly set to reconcile.

However, they had endured a turbulent few days in the villa after Jacques was forced to explain to the Welsh paramedic why he had kissed Cheyanne while she was away.

He announced his departure today with a statement that read: "Jacques has made the decision to leave the Villa. He will explain his reasons to the Islanders during tonight's episode.

"We fully support his decision and look forward to seeing what's next for Jacques."
