Inside Love Island’s Jacques O’Neill’s Midlands home he shares with puppy Zeus

Love Island’s Jacques O’Neill has been at the centre of a bit of drama in recent days in the villa.

The professional rugby league player, 23, found himself in an awkward situation when his heart rate went racing for ex girlfriend Gemma Owen – and hers did the same for him despite him pursuing Paige Thorne.

He dated co-star Gemma Owen previously and during the show he left fans confused about their relationship.

He said: “I didn’t want to tell you that I cared” to which a confused Paige asked: “Why?”

Jacques continued: “Because why would I? I’ve never cared in my life, why do I want to tell pe
