Love Island’s Adam Collard has hit out at Jacques O’Neill, after he made a sly dig about his relationship with Paige Thorne.
During a recent Instagram Live with Luca Bish, a fan asked the rugby player: “What do you think of Paige and Adam?”
Jacques sarcastically replied, “Well, her mum seems to love him doesn’t she?” before joking, “He’s in there with the fam!”
The 23-year-old was referring to the ‘Meet the Parents’ episode last month, which saw Paige’s mum express her doubts about Adam.
Jacques later added, “Nah, Paige and Adam seem really happy together. Best of luck to them,” before Luca quipped, “Sound well sincere there, mate!”
Adam has since hit back at Jacques’ comment in a scathing Twitter post.
Retweeting a clip of Jacques and Luca’s Instagram Live, he wrote: “Humble in defeat our kid, chin up x.”

Jacques was coupled up with Welsh paramedic Paige when he sensationally decided to quit this year’s series of Love Island.
The 23-year-old promised to wait for Paige outside the villa, but she then grew close to bombshell Adam, and the pair made it through to the semi-finals.
Jacques has not spoken to Paige since he left the show, and he skipped out on the highly anticipated reunion last week.
The rugby player has come under fire since the show came to an end, as he’s been accused of “bullying” Tasha Ghouri and Remi Lambert.
Earlier this week, Remi called out Jacques’ behaviour in a post shared on Instagram, after he appeared to mock his rapping skills during the same IG Live with Luca.
