Jacques O'Neill mocked Adam Collard's relationship with Paige Thorne when he joined Love Island co-star Luca BIsh for an Instagram live chat, once the show's reunion had aired on Sunday night.
Jacques was a notable absentee from the special episode, which was filmed on Thursday, before going out on ITV2 a few days later. Host Laura Whitmore came under fire from Love Island viewers for failing to address Jacques' absence in enough detail and not even mentioning him during her chat with Adam and Paige.
But, while he was very much missing from the reunion, Gemma Owen's ex wasted no time in giving his opinions on it when he joined Luca for an Insta chat, which saw them mock a few of their Love Island castmates.

Somewhat inevitably, given that he was coupled up with Paige before Newcastle gym owner Adam's shock return to the villa, it was Adam who was primarily in the firing line as Jacques and Luca waded in on what they'd just seen.
Jacques, who quit the villa a day after Adam went in, was asked by runner up Luca: “What do you think of Paige and Adam?” to which he quipped: "Well, her mum seems to love him doesn't she? "He's in there with the fam!"
Jacques' sarcastic response to Luca's question was in reference to Paige's mum saying she 'wasn't buying' her and Adam's romance when she went in the villa on Meet The Parents day.
The 23-year-old rugby player then added: “Nah, Paige and Adam seem really happy together. Best of luck to them," as Luca joked: "Sound well sincere there, mate!"
Jacques left the villa in emotional circumstances with just a week to go until the final, telling Paige he was walking to 'be a better person,' in the hope they could pursue something outside the villa.
But it took just a day for Paige's head to turn in Adam's direction, with the two going onto finish fifth as they were given the boot on the eve of the finale, which was won by Ekin-Su and Davide.
