The last week has been hugely dramatic for the Love Islanders, with Casa Amor coming back to haunt many contestants including Jacques O\u2019Neill<\/a> \u2013 who recently left the villa<\/a> after his romance with bombshell Cheyanne Kerr was exposed and new arrival Adam Collard<\/a> set his sights on Paige Thorne<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While viewers were surprised by Jacques\u2019s decision to crack on with Cheyanne during Casa Amor, the rugby player has revealed that he actually knew her prior to going on Love Island and even had a crush on her.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Sun<\/a> after quitting the show, Jacques said: \u201cCheyanne is a lovely girl, I already knew her from when I was 19. It was weird because I wanted to date her at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI found out while I was chatting to her that nothing was going to come close to what I had with Paige. But from the moment I kissed her in bed I felt the worst I\u2019ve ever felt in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whilst on Love Island, Jacques grew close to paramedic Paige, coupling up with her on Day 12. However, whilst in Casa Amor, he kissed Cheyanne and although he chose to couple back up with Paige when she returned to the villa, Cheyanne revealed that they had shared a romantic connection.<\/p>

Reflecting on his time at Casa Amor, Jacques said that he was \u201cdisgusted in [himself]\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand the hate. I\u2019m feeling quite numb, I will wait for Paige on the outside, but I\u2018m not watching the show again, I can\u2019t do it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

There are 14 islanders remaining in the villa after the recent elimination of Coco Lodge and Josh Le Grove<\/a>, including Jacques\u2019s ex-girlfriend Gemma Owen<\/a>, who is currently coupled up with Luca Bish<\/a>.<\/p>\n
