Single Islanders Afia and Paige received a text inviting them to the garden for a date with new arrival Jacques. Paige was first to head out on a date with Jacques as the other girls look on from the terrace. Gemma gasped: “Oh my god, no, that's my ex boyfriend.”
Afia asked Gemma: “How long were you with him for?” Gemma replied: “Eight months.” When asked when they broke up she added: “A year and a half ago.”
Heading down to the garden, Afia met Jacques for her date with him. Wanting to know more about his past relationship with Gemma, she asked: “Did it end amicably?” Jacques replied: “ I wouldn’t say so, maybe not, I am not sure but we will have to find out won’t we?”
Later on, while speaking to the other girls, Gemma admitted that she still fancied her ex. She said: "It’s weird because I still look at him and I do fancy him like 100%, I look at him and I think you are fit, no question, you are fit.” Paige added: “Yeah, I think we all look at him and think he’s fit, yeah.”
Wanting to clear the air with Gemma and stop any awkwardness, Jacques goes on to pull the dressage rider for a chat. They managed to talk in private for the first time since he arrived in the villa.
Before entering the villa, 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."
He added: "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."
