Arguments: Remi admitted he and Jacques clashed multiple times, but the scenes were never broadcast In August last year, Remi accused Jacques and their fellow series co-star Luca Bish of 'bullying' him in a damning post on social media. The Manchester native entered the villa as a bombshell on day nine and was dumped just three days later when he failed to survive the recoupling. His strong words for Luca, 23, and Jacques came after the pair took part in an Instagram Live where they mocked Remi's rapping skills. In the video, Jacques was reading comments coming in from fans and thought he saw one from Remi, but it was actually from a fake account. Jacques said: 'Remi's just commented, 'what are you boys saying about me and my rapping?' I said it's really really good, you should turn pro.' Luca asked: 'Is Remi commenting? I can't see the comments.' Video: His strong words for Luca and Jacques came after the pair took part in an Instagram Live where they mocked Remi's rapping skills Jacques said he was and then repeating the rapping comment in a seemingly sarcastic tone. Luca then said: 'Pro? A pro rapper? He ain't got... What's he gonna do? Work in Harrods next year?' which made Jacques laugh. Remi shared the video on his Instagram and wrote a lengthy post accusing both Luca and Jacques of bullying him while he was in the villa and said they should have been kicked out for their behaviour. He said: '@LoveIsland I never joined their live so I didn't comment actually. A fake account called remilambo did. Don't know why these guys have such a problem with me, clearly got some serious issues they need to sort out. 'Everyone said I lied about the way I was treated in that villa, but this here is an example of what was going on whilst I was in there. Don't know why they wasn't kicked out for their behaviour to be honest. It's not banter, it's clear signs of bullying. 'I wish everyone could see all of the crap I went through. There's 24 hours in a day and yous only seen like about 3-5 10 second clips of me out of the whole day, so you could never tell what was truly happening. 'Jacques said bad things about my appearance and the way I speak, whilst Luca was encouraging it. After about 3 strikes from Jacques I told him I won't be speaking to him anymore in the villa. Statememt: Remi wrote a lengthy post accusing both Luca and Jacques of bullying him while he was in the villa and said they should have been kicked out for their behaviour 'Later on he tried apologising to me but like 10 minutes after he started with the snide comments again. I've tried to avoid this guy multiple times but he always ends up starting again. I don't know when it will stop. 'Worst person to represent mental health and ADHD campaigns. He's still out here mocking not just me but other islanders too. 'You'd think with such a big platform they would use it to promote peace, but they're using it to troll and they're loving the attention. Immature. 'These guys are not role models or good people. They have not once thought about my mental health. If I wasn't so strong minded I could've done something stupid to myself by now, but they don't care at all. I want justice.'
