Love Island bombshell Jacques O’Neill says he 'falls quick' and 'would have babies'

Tomorrow night will see the latest bombshell to hit the Love Island villa.

Gemma Owen's ex boyfriend, Jacques O'Neill, will be causing an explosion as he tries to find love on the ITV2 dating show. A sneak peek shown on Friday's episode heard Gemma say "oh my god, that's my ex-boyfriend" as we heard him entering.

It has now been confirmed by ITV and Jacques himself that he will be tomorrow's new addition. The 23-year-old English professional rugby league player shared a post on his Instagram account, which read: "It’s official!!! Jacques has hung his boots up for love and is entering the @loveisland villa. #Love #LoveIsland."

He also spoke to ITV ahead of tomorrow's episode, letting viewers know a bit more about him. He claimed that he is "loyal, respectful and has good manners."

Jacques said: "I’ll look after someone close to me to the full extent I can. I would have a baby in two or three years. I think I’d be good with babies too, they’d be good looking wouldn’t they?" He added: "I am loving, I've got loads to give! Family parties I always bring the laughs."

The sportsman admitted that he "falls easily". He said: "I literally know if they’re going to be my girlfriend within a week. I fall pretty quick."

However, the girls better not sing Christmas songs around him as that will give him "the ick". Jacques said: "I was seeing this girl and it was just before Christmas and she started singing Christmas songs in the car and it went through me - it gave me the ick bad."

Love Island airs at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub
