Eagle-eyed Love Island fans are convinced that Jacques O'Neill has now moved on from Paige Thorne after quitting the ITV programme earlier this month. The rugby player walked from the Majorcan villa on July 10 later revealing that his time on the dating show left him 'broken' but claimed show bosses urged him to carry on.
The 23-year-old had been happily coupled up with Welsh paramedic Paige Thorne until he decided to test his feelings for her in Casa Amor. Dubbed the 'ultimate relationship test', the girls and boys were split into separate villas and joined by a batch of new bombshells hoping to turn their heads.
Whilst attempting to find out if his feelings for Paige were 'real', Jacques left viewers furious after he kissed and shared a bed with new arrival Cheyanne Kerr. Despite hinting he could possibly pick Cheyanne in the intense Casa Amor recoupling, Jacques decided to stick with Paige - but was then forced to explain his actions after the blonde bombshell confessed what had been going on.

In the days following, the devastated rugby player attempted to win Paige back and it was a heartfelt text that finally saw her give in to her feelings and allow him out of the dog house. But things took a turn after Love Island producers brought back series four contestant Adam Collard, 26, who was best known for shaking things up in the villa back in 2018.
Adam quickly showed his interest in getting to know 24-year-old beauty Paige, which ruffled Jacques' feathers. After Jacques was told by his ex, Gemma Owen, that Adam had been 'proper slagging him off', he lashed out and said: "Who the f*** is he? Just another geezer who's been on the show."
Later in the episode, emotional scenes saw Jacques tell Paige that he was leaving the Love Island villa after saying he needed to "get back to himself". Tears flowed as he told Paige he wanted to return home so he could be at his "best" for her, but encouraged her to stay on the show and 'do what she needed to do' as he vowed to 'wait for her' on the outside.
Speaking on Aftersun a week after his exit, Jacques told host Laura Whitmore: “I thought if I don’t get myself out things could go horribly wrong and I could get physical. It got way too much for me in there, it was one of those situations where I didn't want to be there anymore."
Speaking of Paige, Jacques said: "I said to my mum before I went in there that I just wanted to be myself in my next relationship. Literally, I told her everything about me, I wanted a girl to like me for who I am. I wanted a best friend and I found that in her."
But ever since Jacques left the villa, Paige has been growing closer to returning Islander Adam and the pair have now made their relationship official.
Love Island fans now think that Jacques has moved on from his former flame Paige after seeing her relationship with Adam develop, as they've spotted he's made a bold move on his Instagram.
During his time in the villa, Jacques' family members shared a series of sweet pictures of him and Paige on his social media accounts - but the ex-Islander has now taken the decision to remove them all. Noticing the change as Jacques nears 1 million followers on Instagram, viewers took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
@naytomytay tweeted: "Jacques unpinned the photo of him and Paige and deleted all pictures of her yes good on him."
@kmls_x wrote: "Jacques has deleted all of Paige’s photos off insta. He’s done with her."
@_mxyxx__66 said: "Jacques is deleting all traces of Paige from his ig, he’s taken her off the pinned photos as well. I mean at least we know he isn’t wasting his petrol driving to the airport for her."
@HayleyNGSJLS added: "I do think Jacques deleting all the pictures of him and Paige off his Instagram is because he needs to do what is best for him, but I do believe that he has not completely deleted the pictures he has probably just archived all of the pictures."
