Ex Love IslanderJaques O'Neill , 23, has made a bombshell claims about the show’s producers instructions to him during Casa Amor.
According to Jacque safter the girls went to Casa Amor he wanted to sleep outside and remain loyal toPaige Thorne, with whom he was coupled up with at the time. However, he says, producers told him this was “silly.”
He dropped this bombshell in an appearance on fellow ex-Islander Scott Thomas' Learning As I Go podcast.
The ex-rugby player says: “Luca slept outside the first night and I was prepared to do that as well. Because I didn’t want Luca being by himself and I was like 'it's respectful' anyway.
“And what really got into my head, because the first day the girls got in, people have said this, I was like a live switch, I literally changed.
"And I’m so glad I’m being able to speak about it because I want people to know.
"I followed Luca out the first night, we went out together. They (producers) come on the tannoy, and they go ‘Jacques you look silly’.”
Jacques continues: “I’m like 'pardon, what do you mean I look silly?' I started speaking into my mic 'what do you mean? Come on tell me?' And they say 'no you’re fine, we don’t mean that go to bed'.
"So I go straight to the beach hut and say 'tell me why I look silly, what’s happening?'
"They say, 'no we don’t mean it like that, it just looks like you’re following Luca,' and I’m like 'no no no it’s deeper than that, if I'm looking silly I'm not being a mug.' I have got a lot of pride and I don’t want to be mugged off.
"So I thought 'if I’m looking silly I’m going to wake up tomorrow and crack on.'
"And that’s where I changed. I literally woke up the next morning and I was saying to Dami, 'okay let's test it'.
"Because they (producers) were then saying in the beach hut 'do you not think you need to test your connection?' And I’m like, well, after last night if I’m looking silly then yeah I do, I do need to test my connection, let’s go."
Following this, Jacques went on tokiss Cheyanne Kerr .
During his podcast appearance he clarified that despite this, he was always going to go back to Paige.
He said: “No disrespect to Cheyanne, she’s a lovely girl and a very good looking girl but I was always going to stay with Paige.
“So it was so strange to go out, and they [edited it and] made it look like I was going to get with Cheyanne. I didn't speak to Cheyanne. I had that one night where I kissed her."
