Love Island first look as Paige Thorne 'set for heartbreak' as Jacques O'Neill cracks on

Paige Thorne will be given some home truths about Jacques O'Neill during tonight's Love Island - just as he makes a big decision too.

The couple have seemingly stayed loyal to one another throughout Casa Amor so far, with neither of them acting on any of their feelings, but tonight Paige decides to close Billy off - whilst Jacques makes a decision to crack on.

As they chat in Casa Amor, Paige explains to Billy that it's important she's honest with him over how she feels.

"I know we’ve been getting on really, really well we’re like bantering and laughing and stuff but from my end I’ve been seeing it as a friendship, nothing else," she explained to him, "To be fair, my head is just definitely still with Jacques."

Billy is grateful for her honesty, as he thanks her for letting him know, adding: "Well I’m glad you’ve told me this because at the end of the day, we ain’t got long. But I appreciate you being honest, so it’s all good."

Later in Casa Amor, some of the Islanders are sat chatting about the others, when the topic of Jacques comes up.

Giving his verdict, Samuel says: "He’s quite a cheeky chappy guy ... What I also believe is quite clear is you [Paige] like him more than he likes you, just an observation. It’s not just that alone, but he’s aware of it which is why in a sense, he has had power in different ways in the relationship that you may not have realised.

"He’s disrespected you in some arguments that he shouldn’t have done. Now, if they put a girl in there that is confident, very flirtatious, that is as good looking as you and she applies pressure onto him, and goes forward on to him his head could potentially turn…. He’s just one of those that in a flirty situation, he’s definitely flirting back."

Armed with this new opinion, what will Paige decide to do?

Elsewhere, at the main villa, Jacques admitted he hasn't stopped thinking about Paige.

"I woke up in a filthy mood sulking and that, and the next minute I’m thinking ‘what am I doing?’ I’m just thinking about Paige, I’m thinking I can’t be like this, it’s not me," he says as Dami tells him: "You’re feeling guilty before you’ve even done anything. I literally said to myself, I feel like this because I’m feeling about Paige’s feelings, I’m not thinking about mine."

As Dami encourages him to consider his own feelings too, Jacques makes a decision.

He says: "I need to put myself out there. How do I know if what I’ve got with Paige is so good if I don’t even give it another chance with someone else? For me to do that, I need to crack on. I can’t be sat around here and sulking for someone else."

But what will that mean for Paige and Jacques - and what will happen next?

*Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
