Paige Thorne and Jacques O'Neill are "enjoying hanging out" together.
Paige Thorne and Jacques O'Neill 'enjoying hanging out'
The pair got together on 'Love Island' this summer but went their separate ways after it was revealed the rugby player had been up to no good during the ITV2 show's Casa Amor stage, and Paige later got together with bombshell Adam Collard.
But the paramedic and Adam recently split, and she has grown close to Jacques - who quit the show early after admitting he wasn't feeling himself in the villa - and the pair have now been having "a bit of fun".
An insider told The Sun Online: "Paige and Jacques clearly got on really well with each other on the show.
"They have hung out whenever they see each other and one thing has led to another.
"It’s all just a bit of fun at the moment, but they have both said ‘never say never’."
Just last week, Jacques admitted he still has feelings for ex Paige.
He said: "I have no bad blood about her at all and she has nothing against me. Whatever happened happened, it was on a show and it's been done.
"Whenever I see Paige I am going to speak to the girl. I've got nothing against her. She's a lovely girl and I'm always gonna care for her. It's as simple as that.
"Once you have feelings for someone it doesn't just go, you're always going to care for them no matter what, so that's how I see Paige right now."
The rugby league player also touched on Paige’s breakup with Adam, which came amid cheating allegations, which Adam has denied.
He said: "She's getting a lot of hate and bad press, but if we've got each other to look out for each other why would we not, because we're actually good people. So it's just normal to be nice to each other.
"She's been done over badly by you know someone, so I'm going to have her back when she's been treated badly by a bloke like that."
In October, Paige admitted she's had a "really s*** time" since splitting from Adam.
In November, Adam spoke out about his split from Paige for the first time, and denied cheating on her.
The pair broke up shortly after a video of him putting his arm around a woman in McDonald's went viral, and he called out the "misinformation" that has been spread following the incident.
