Love Island's Paige Thorne reveals where she REALLY stands with Jacques O'Neill trends now
Love Island's Paige Thorne has revealed where she really stands with her ex Jacques O'Neill, after their turbulent time in the villa last year.
The Welsh paramedic, 24, was coupled up with rugby player Jacques, 23, on the ITV2 show before he left for his mental health. She then continued on the show in a couple with Adam Collard, 27.
But back in November 2022, Paige was seen putting on a very cosy display with Jacques at an event in Manchester following her split with Adam.
She's now claimed the pair have remained friendly, telling Goss.ie: 'We're on good terms,' when asked about their status at the #GossCountdown Show.
Paige went on to tell the publication she even contemplated leaving the programme when Jacques decided to pack his bags.
