Love Island 's Adam Collard has clapped back at comments made by Jacques O’Neill about his romance with ex Paige Thorne.
During an Instagram Live, the rugby star made a cheeky dig about his ex Paige and her new man Adam's romance after he decided to quit the ITV2 dating show.
During the live, fellow islander Luca Bish read out a question from a fan asking: “What do you think of Adam and Paige’s relationship?” Jacques then replied sarcastically: “They seem to get on really well, they seem very happy together.”
Luca said in a mocking tone: “Glad the mum approves,” to which Jacques quipped: “Yeah, well her mum seems really fond of Adam so you know.”
The two then started laughing after referencing Paige’s mum’s harsh words during the annual Meet the parents episode of Love Island, which saw her admit she wasn’t convinced Adam was being genuine.
The Welsh paramedic’s mum Samantha said: “I’m not buying it. The way you were with Jacques was different, with Adam it just seems a lot different.”
However, Adam has now weighed in after clips of the Instagram Live were posted to Twitter and took a pop at Jacques’ seemingly petty attitude.
The series four bombshell, who returned this year in an epic twist, retweeted the clip alongside the savage comment: “Humble in defeat our kid, chin up x.” Jacques’ Instagram Live comments were made just a few hours before the Love Island Reunion aired on Sunday, although the rugby player failed to attend the annual gathering, as Laura Whitmore apologised to viewers for his absence.
Elsewhere in the impromptu Instagram live, Jacques and Luca were seen making underhand comments about Remi, prompting him to call out the pair for bullying him. Sharing the video on Instagram, Remi wrote a lengthy comment in which he laid out his thoughts on the pair.
In his post, he wrote: “Everyone said I lied about the way I was treated in that villa, but this here is an example of what was going on whilst I was in there. “Don’t know why they wasn’t kicked out for their behaviour to be honest. It’s not banter, it’s clear signs of bullying.”
He continued: "I wish everyone could see all of the crap I went through. There’s 24 hours in a day and yous only seen like about 3-5 10 second clips of me out of the whole day, so you could never tell what was truly happening."
Remi accused Jacques of being the main instigator, with Luca being his main encouragement.
