Love Island star Adam Collard fired back at former love rival Jacques O'Neill after he made a dig about his relationship with Paige Thorne. In a question and answer session with his villa pal Luca Bish Jacques appeared to poke fun at former love rival Adam in a live Instagram broadcast.

In the Q&A session with fans Luca picked out the question 'what do you think of Adam and Paige's relationship?'. And former rugby player Jacques replied: "They seem like they get on really really well. They seem very happy together."

Pressing him further on the subject Luca said "glad the mum approves", referring to the awkward Meet the Parents episode when Paige asked her mum what she thought of Adam and after a long pause her mum told her daughter "I'm not buying it."

Jacques said sarcastically: "Yeah well her mum seems really fond of Adam." He and Luca then burst out laughing. And he added: "I'm sure the Sunday dinner will go really well."

Adam shared the clip on his Twitter account and said: "Humble in defeat our kid, chin up x" When he decided to leave the ITVBe dating contest early for his mental health Jacques promised to pick Paige up at the airport on her return.

But Jacques, who missed Sunday night's Love Island reunion show, revealed that he hadn't spoken to his former partner in the TV villa. "No I haven't. That was short and sweet wasn't it. No I haven't simple as that," he said.

Jacques, 23, quit the show shortly after Adam arrived as a bombshell in the villa and made it clear he was interested in Paige. He had just been through a rocky time with paramedic Paige, 24, after he kissed bombshell arrival
