Love Island's Jacques O'Neill apologises to Paige Thorne in Wednesday night's (29.06.22) episode after branding her "pathetic".
Jacques O'Neill apologises to Paige Thorne
The 23-year-old rugby league player inadvertently upset the 24-year-old paramedic on last night's (28.06.22) episode during the striptease challenge when his heart rate increased the most as fellow Islander and his ex-girlfriend Gemma Owen performed her saucy dance.
After overreacting to Paige's disappointment, Jacques pulls her for a chat tonight to say sorry.
He says: "When you actually opened up and told me why, I was like, 'OK, I apologise.' I should've had your feelings first before mine.
"I'd love to prove to you how much you mean to me."
Jacques also says in the Beach Hut: "Last night with Paige, I was quite selfish at first- I realised that pretty quick when I spoke to her.
"I should've been there for her straight away."
It comes after Paige had told Jacques she was concerned that his heart rate increased the most for the 19-year-old international dressage rider - who he dated for eight months, until the relationship ended in 2021 - out of all of the girls, because they have romantic history.
But it's not just Jacques who is feeling he needs to do something to make up for the striptease challenge.
On Wednesday night's episode, Dami Hope, 26, and Andrew Le Page, 27, both make homemade breakfasts for their respective partners, Indiyah Polack, 23, and Tasha Ghouri, 23.
Indiyah says: "My heart is racing for this pancake, you deffo made up, you deffo made up for yourselves."
'Love Island' continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
The dating reality show can be seen in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.
