PAIGE Thorne’s family slammed Jacques O’Neill after he cheated on the paramedic on Love Island.
The pair rowed – and will continue to argue on tonight’s episode – after an explosive Casa Amor recoupling where Jacques’ romance with Cheyanne was brought to light.
Love Island’s Paige Thorne stands up for herself after Jacques O’Neill’s cheating scandal
The rugby player, 23, is coupled up with Paige, 24, on the hit dating show, but she was shocked to learn he’d snogged Cheyanne while she was away in the other villa.
After she was left in tears, Paige was comforted by the girls including Gemma, who said he just “thinks with his d***.”
But Paige’s family also stood up for the brunette beauty as they run her social media while she’s in the villa.
They shared an image of Paige confronting Jacques after the truth came out, declaring they were ‘proud’ of her.
“So PROUD of how she handled that!” on the Instagram story.
Her family also shared statements supporting Paige from Love Island fans and former contestants.
“Paige has handled herself so well and has always been so genuine,” read one shared Twitter post.
Last year’s finalist Faye Winters added: “Oh Paige, I want to come in and rescue you. Please, please, please… Get rid of your man!
“Always backed this girl. Wanna back her so hard. I can’t say enough good things about this girl.”
In a first look teaser for tonight’s episode both Paige and Jacques are in tears after arguing about his antics with Cheyanne Kerr.
The pro rugby player spent the past few days cracking on with new girl Cheyanne in the main villa, whilst the paramedic remained faithful in Casa Amor.
But then last night, viewers watched on as Jacques shockingly decided to reunite with Paige – despite his brief fling with Cheyenne.
Then Cheyenne soon revealed what really went on between the two in front of the fire pit.
ITV spoilers ahead of tonight’s show reveal the paramedic is keen to find out what exactly happened with the bombshell as she pulls Jacques aside for a chat.
Meanwhile, it comes after Jacques seemingly threatened to quit the show in an explosive teaser clip for Friday’s episode.
She tries to storm off in tears as Jacques chases her and Paige tells him I’m “done with all these f*****g games.”
An incredulous Jacques presses her about “what games” as Paige continues that his behaviour “just makes no sense” and all he is “giving back is immature behaviour.”
Paige says: “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 responds: “Look I know you’re hurt mate, I know you are. You deserve better…”
Paige asks: “Well, why couldn’t you just have been better then?”
Then as Paige remains upset, Jacques contemplates leaving the villa.
In the teaser, Jacques tells Luca Bish: “No point me being here.”
The fishmonger replied: “Mate, she’s going to forgive you.”
He replied tearfully: “I won’t let her forgive me.”
Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
