The official Love Island account on Instagram has only just followed Jacques O'Neill, despite it having already been following the rest of this year's islanders including the new boys.
The professional rugby player, 23, entered the villa over the weekend and was discovered to be the ex-boyfriend of fellow islander Gemma Owen, 19, almost immediately.
And although he's been in the villa for a few days, the official account for the show (@loveisland) doesn't appear to have been following Jacques (@jacques9oneill_) until today.
The Mirror was made aware by a user on social media last night that the account wasn't following him, despite it following every other islander that's featured this year so far.
We investigated and found that Jacques wasn't coming up in the Love Island account's following list on Instagram, though new additions Remi Lambert, 22, and Jay Younger, 28, were.
The account - which follows more than 200 other accounts - was following all other current islanders as well as Liam Llewellyn, 22, and Afia Tonkmor, 25, who have left the villa.

A host of contestants from previous series were also among those in the following list, such as winner Greg O'Shea, 27, as well as celebrities like Bridgerton 's Nicola Coughlan, 35.
Jacques - who's among the 14 people currently on the show - wasn't coming up among the more than 200 accounts that were being followed by the show's verified one though.
