"He is an amazing person who I’m proud to call my friend/little brother. All the hate thrown towards Jacques doesn’t go to him directly….It comes to his loved ones who have always supported him and not just whilst he is on Love Island. Love Island, although real. Is still a show where the producers do have control and we see 45minutes out of the 1440 in 24hours… Please be kind.”
Jacques left the show on Tuesday
Telling Paige about his decision to quit the show, Jacques said: “You mean so much to me, you know that. The past two weeks, I'm finding it hard. I'm trying to put a brave face on but things are getting to me. I just wish I could finish my journey with you in here but, I'm going to home today… Still enjoy your time in here. Do what you need to do. Don't even think about me when I leave.'
