Love Island's Adam Collard posts very cosy video with Paige after Jacques dig

Love Island's Adam Collard has posted a curiously cosy video with Paige after being slammed by her ex Jacques O'Neill.

The bombshell, 26, came fifth on the show with the Welsh paramedic, 24, after the rugby star, 23, quit the villa last month.

Jacques has since made a dig about Adam not meeting Paige's mum's approval in the 'Meet the parents' episode, but now the show stalwart appears to have clapped back.

Taking to Instagram Adam shared a video of himself kissing Paige on the cheek several times as she squeals with excitement.

Jacques may want to avoid the clip as his ex looks blissfully happy.

The sports star told Islander Luca Bish he was happy for the pair, but his "bro for life" wasn't buying it.

The pals were answering fans' questions on Instagram when Jacques was asked what he thought of Paige and Adam.

Jacques sarcastically replied: "Well, her mum seems to love him doesn't she?" before joking: "He's in there with the fam!"

During the episode in which the Islander's parents meet their prospective others, Paige's mum said of Adam: "Sorry, I'm not buying it."

Jacques later told the fan: "Nah, Paige and Adam seem really happy together. Best of luck to them," before Luca quipped: "Sound well sincere there, mate!"

The rugby player - who is the ex of Gemma Owen - made the decision to exit the ITV2 show, just hours after the former Love Island star entered the villa and set his sights on Paige.

Paige and Adam wasted no time in getting close to one another once Jacques had left, but were dumped from the villa a day before the final.

Sadly, before he left the show Jacques told the beauty he was heartbroken to leave her after explaining he needed to quit for the sake of his mental health.

In emotional scenes he held Paige's hand as he tearfully said: "You mean so much to me, you know that. I've been trying to put a brave face on but things are getting to me.

“Basically, like, I just wish I could finish my journey off with you in here, but I'm gonna go home today.”

He added: "I still want you to enjoy your time in here, just do what you need to do and listen, I'll be waiting for you.”

However, Paige seems happy with Adam at the moment and since the show finished she hasn't spoken to Jacques, according to blonde bombshell Antigoni Buxton.

Speaking at the Love Island wrap party, which Paige and Adam attended, she told The Sun : “I saw Paige last night and they’ve not spoken, no.”
