ITV Love Island fans' rage as they spot problem seconds after Jacques' exit airs

Love Island fans have been left scratching their heads as they noticed a problem just seconds after they watched Jacques O'Neill leave the villa with just his personalised suitcase in hand. The 23-year-old's decision to leave the villa was confirmed by ITV on Tuesday (July 12) with his last moments shown in last night's episode.

The start of the latest trip to the villa saw Jacques appear riled by Adam Collard's arrival in the villa. The former islander made a shock comeback earlier this week as a bombshell contestant, four years after he first took part in the ITV2 dating show. He wasted no time in getting to know the girls while the boys were sent on a relaxing day out.

But they were soon stunned when they arrived to see the former personal trainer getting to know Gemma Owen. Adam received a frosty reception from some of the boys and later, Jacques lost his cool when Gemma told him the not-so-new boy had been 'slagging him off'.

While confronting Paige about the situation he became short with her and rudely told fellow contestant Billy Brown to leave which caused further tension among the couple. After they discussed his brash response to the situation, he appeared withdrawn and he could later be seen leaving the bedroom in the middle of the night to go sit outside by himself.

The next morning Jacques told Luca that he was going to "try and get back to myself" but he finally came to the conclusion that he wanted to leave. Holding back tears, he said: "I just wish I could finish my journey off with you in here but I’m going to go home today."

He explained his reasons to Paige Thorne, who he has been coupled up with for weeks, on the terrace, prompting Paige to cry and as they embraced Jacques added: "You’ve got to still enjoy your time here. Just do what you need to do and I’ll be waiting for you," to which she replied: "I don’t want you to go but also I want you to be happy and it hurts me seeing you in this way."

Jacques added: “I just know for us to work I need us to get back to myself and the only way I’m going to get back to myself is going home," before gathering his fellow islanders at the firepit to share his news. "I just feel like lately, I just can’t be myself," he explained. "I’m trying my best but I’m not a fake person and I’m not going to start faking things and act like I’m okay when things inside aren’t actually okay.

"For me and Paige to work I need to be at my best and if that means removing myself from the situation and waiting for Paige when she gets out then that I’m going to do."

The revelation came as a shock to his new friends, with many unable to hide their emotions. Close friend Luca Bish said "it’s not going to be the same without you" through tears before the pair later shared an emotional moment together, with neither unable to stop their tears from flowing.

Jacques and Paige then shared some final moments alone together before all of the islanders collectively hugged to see him out of the villa. But after viewers watched Jacques walk out, the episode's credits soon began to role and they were soon flocking to social media to point out a problem.

And that was that there was no preview for Wednesday night's show. It left some wondering if it means another islander could have left in Jacques shadow. @daniell66230271 tweeted: "After all of that no preview… #LoveIsland." @Iongwayoff commented: "No tomorrow night preview after all that???? rude. #LoveIsland."

@funmi_gracee wrote: "Huuuh where is my preview for tomorrow??? I endured this whole hour for no hope given for tomorrow #LoveIsland." @vvhafsa fumed: "No preview???? what a waste of time #loveisland." @JamesConlon_ wondered: "Do we think we got no preview for tomorrow nights because Paige might have left too? #LoveIsland." While @bellefluxx__ predicted: "No preview - Paige kisses Adam innit I’m calling it now #loveisland."
