Love Island fans think ‘manipulative’ Jacques quit villa in hope ‘game player’ Paige would leave with him
LOVE Island fans think Jacques quit the villa in the hope Paige would leave with him.
In scenes set to air tonight, the rugby player breaks down in tears as he tells Paige he is leaving in a shock decision.
He tells her: “You mean so much to me, you know that. I just wish I could finish my journey with you in here.”
He had been trying to win back Paige after he kissed Cheyanne in Casa Amor, but the return of Adam Collard threw a spanner in the works.
Viewers think his latest move might be calculated in a bid to get Paige to also quit.
One person tweeted: “Jacques is a master manipulator, he probably thought Paige would feel bad & leave with him.”

A second wrote: “Jacques wants to quit just to make paige feel guilty…he is so manipulative #LoveIsland.”
“Jacques quitting to try and make Paige go with him. Can’t handle the smoke #LoveIsland,” said a third.
Many fans also think that if Paige truly liked him she would leave too.
Monday’s episode saw the return of Adam Collard, and fellow contestants remarked on how happy Paige seemed while talking to him shortly after his entrance, saying that 23-year-old Jacques was sure to be “so intimidated” by the new arrival.
Adam and Paige were later seen cosying up by the pool together discussing “boyfriend material” and the need to “train boys up” to be in a relationship.

The arrival of Adam came the day after Jacques and Paige survived a dramatic dumping which spelled the end for Jay Younger and Chyna Ellis.
Afterwards, Jacques took Paige aside and read her an emotional message he had composed on his phone, with the pair seemingly set to reconcile.
However, they had endured a turbulent few days in the villa after Jacques was forced to explain to the Welsh paramedic why he had kissed Cheyanne while she was away.
