A friend of Love Island star Paige Thorne has addressed her habit which viewers of the show have been commenting on for weeks. During the latest trip to the villa, fans of the ITV2 dating show saw things get slightly more serious for the Welsh paramedic.
Just over a week ago Paige looked set to finish the show, whether in the final or before, with Jacques O'Neill by her side. But after the return of the always dramatic Casa Amor, things changed. While Paige was away in the second villa with the girls and six new boys, Jacques decided to explore if his feelings for the Welsh paramedic were genuine.
He tried getting to know a couple of the new girls before kissing Cheyanne Kerr. His antics in the main villa, while Paige was away, were soon outed following the 'Stick or Twist' recoupling which saw him stay with his love interest. He then tried to make amends with Paige and just as they started to reconnect, 2018 Love Island star Adam Collard made a dramatic return as a bombshell contestant.

And the not-so-newbie made it clear that he had his sights set on Paige which led to tensions in the villa, particularly when Jacques was told Adam had been 'slagging him off'. Just 24 hours later after their clash was teased, Love Island viewers watched Jacques as he emotionally announced he was leaving the villa.
He Paige he needed to "get back to himself" and was seen explaining to Paige that he felt the best thing for their relationship was for him to return home so he could be at his "best" for her. He told her that he'd way for her but Love Island viewers have since seen her striking up a connection with Adam.
Fast forward a week and during Thursday night's trip to the villa (July 21), fans saw Adam reassure his new partner that he was only interested in her following his date with new bombshell Nathalia and that he wanted to make their relationship “exclusive”. Paige shared her delight in the beach hut, saying: "Now can we just appreciate everything I’ve been through in here. This is what I’ve been waiting for. It’s about damn time! I’m so excited."
Aside from her relationship, viewers have been distracted by Paige after noticing she tends to wobble or moves her head whenever she's talking, in the Beach Hut or to her fellow Islanders. And fans sid they 'can't unsee it'. @inihelene tweeted: "I can not unsee Paige’s wobbly head. It’s all I think of #LoveIsland."
@beccaa_sm commented: "Someone pointed out that paige always moves her head when she speaks and it’s all i can see now #LoveIsland." @kaysiemay7 shared: "WHY DOES PAIGE’S HEAD WOBBLE EVERY TIME SHE SPEAKS I’VE KEPT MY SILENCE LONG ENOUGH BUT IT BOTHERS ME SO MUCH #LoveIsland." @SarelRose added: "Paige’s head bobbing is getting progressively annoying and it shouldn’t annoy me as much #LoveIsland."
Addressing the head wobble during a Q&A on Paige's Instagram Story, a friend running her account said: "Right let's address this burning q [crying laughing emojis]. She only ever seems to do it when she's explaining something (she does this in normal life too)
"So in the beach hut for example, they have to recall and explain situations that happened in the villa so she does it then...
"It's a way of expressing herself just like hand gestures etc!" They then added: "Don't think it warrants the things being said about her - far worse habits to have." They were also asked about her use of 'Honey Buns'. Asking if it was her 'favourite thing to say,' the friend replied: "Apparently [crying laughing emojis]," before adding: "PSA [Public Service Announcement] she says it outside the villa too."
