Jacques O'Neill will hint at leaving the Love Island villa in scenes set to air tonight [Friday, July 8]. In a first look at the latest episode, a teary Jacques confides in Luca Bish following an emotional showdown with Welsh paramedic Paige Thorne.
It comes after the explosive Casa Amor recoupling that saw three couples stick together and a whopping six contestants twist and partner up with a brand new bombshell. You can see a list of all the new couples and the Islanders that were dumped here.
On Friday night's episode the fallout from Casa Amor continues as Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack, who both coupled up with someone new, have it out, as do Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page. Things will also get heated between Jacques and Paige as the Swansea contestant tries to get to the bottom of what happened in Casa Amor.

It comes after bombshell Cheyanne Kerr revealed at the recoupling that she'd been getting to know Jacques, with the pair sharing a bed and kisses. You can read more on this here.
In a first look Paige pulls Jacques for a chat to question his motives. She tells him: "I get Casa is a test, but it's only a test if you want it to be a test and you only want tests if you feel like something is missing or if you feel like something's not 100%.
"Why did you do it if you didn't have any of those things with her [Cheyanne] or if you genuinely felt that way about me? Because it's not adding up. I'm not sure you quite understand how…"
Jacques interrupts: "Look I know you're hurt mate, I know you are. You deserve better…", before Paige asks: "Well, why couldn't you just have been better then?"
And in a clip shared by Love Island, the fallout continues as Paige says: "I didn't want any of this, Jacques. I wanted what we had. I'm done with all these f***ing games that you keep tying me into."
She adds: "This whole three weeks, it just makes no f***ing sense, Jacques."
"I know it doesn't," Jacques replies. "Looking back it doesn't make sense, yeah."
"All you're giving me back is just immature behaviour, again," Paige fires back.
In the beach hut, Paige tells the cameras: "Cut the bulls**t. Stop feeding me all this s**t, and just be honest and, like, f**ing be a man, for once in your life, hun."
Later, a teary Jacques confides in Luca and tells him: "There's no point be being here."
"Mate, she going to forgive you," Luca offers, before Jacques shakes his head and replies: "Nah, she... I won't let her forgive me."
