ITV Love Island viewers concern as 'broken' Jacques O'Neill reacts to Paige Thorne and Adam Collard's kiss in first TV appearance since exit

Love Island star Jacques O'Neill has made his first TV appearance since his shock exit from the Majorcan villa last week. The 23-year-old rugby player walked from the Love Island villa after he said the hit ITV2 dating show left him 'broken', but claimed show bosses urged him to carry on.
