A second added: "Don’t tease me like that", as a third said: "This would be epic plz say this is true if not I’m guna cry for the rest of the year!"

Taking to his Instagram stories on Tuesday, Jay informed his 138,000 followers that he was back in Edinburgh as he thanked fans for the "love and support". Speaking on Jacques' exit, he said: "Tough watching Jacques leave the villa tonight.

"He's a really good boy and I can really emphasise with how he's feeling. I'm sure I'll see him on the outside, I feel for the boy. Good luck Jacques. All the best bro, see you soon."

During the Tuesday night on ITV, Jacques admitted he was struggling in the villa and tearfully told Paige he needed to exit to get back to his normal self. He said: "You mean so much to me you know that.

"The past two weeks have been hard. I've been putting on a brave face but things are getting to me." In the beach hut, Jacques later said: "I've never felt this way for anyone so yeah, I just want to get home and be myself again and carry things on on the outside."
