Love Island’s Jacques O'Neill has finally reunited with his fellow Islanders after quitting the villa early in a shock move.
The reality star was coupled up with Paige Thorne prior to his sensational exit and even promised to wait for her on the outside.
The 23-year-old rugby player shared a teary farewell with Paige prior to his exit, as well as Luca Bish, who he developed a close bond with.
The pair have now reunited after contestants were given their phones back, as Luca enjoyed a FaceTime call with his pal.
Luca shared a screenshot of the call to his social media, as did Jacques, who wrote to his followers: “Juca going to be back together soon baby!”
Dami Hope also joined the call and shared a picture of Jacques beaming, captioning the image: “My brother.”
However, the Islander Jacques has yet to make contact with is Welsh paramedic Paige, after she grew closer to Newcastle personal trainer Adam Collard in the final weeks of the show.
During an emotional farewell, he said to Paige: “I want to be with you. I want you to be my girlfriend. It's fine, I want that, so I'm going to wait. I'm counting down the days until I get out. I don't want to tell you, but I do.”
Paige spoke in tears from the Beach Hut, saying: “I appreciate everything he's done. I support his decision 100%.
“Obviously it hurts me to see how unhappy he was and how he wasn't being himself. I just want the absolute best for him.”
However, he has since been photographed with Love Island season seven star Mary Bedford at the Summer Daze VIP Launch at The Trafford Centre in Manchester.
Jacques was all smiles on a number of rides as he sat next to the blonde beauty, who featured in last year’s series of the ITV2 show as a Casa Amor bombshell.
This comes after Jacques has been getting closer to his former co-star Antigoni Buxton, after the pair enjoyed lunch together with their mums.
Love Island fans have noticed that the rugby player has deleted all traces of his Love Island romance from his Instagram account.
One pointed out on Twitter : “Anyone else noticed Jacques deleted all of his insta posts with Paige.”
A second said: “Oh s*** Jacques really just deleted all the pics he had with Paige. guess he ain’t picking her up.”
“Jacques has deleted all of Paige’s photos off insta. He’s done with her,” a third added.
A fourth chimed in: “I do think Jacques deleting all the pictures of him and Paige off his Instagram is because he needs to do what is best for him, but I do believe that he has not completely deleted the pictures he has probably just archived all of the pictures.”
