His exit from the villa was a shock to many after he had seemingly made up with Paige after their Casa Amor drama.

Following his departure, dozens of viewers took to Twitter in their droves to give their opinions on what they think actually happened.

Alongside an array of confused-faced emojis, one person penned: "They have definitely kept something that happened with Jacques unaired."

Echoing their comments, someone else said: "I think the producers have had a quiet word in the ear of Jacques after seeing his mental health deteriorate."

While a third remarked: "Why didn't Paige look confused or even ask why Jacques was leaving the villa? All seems a bit fishy to me..."

The rugby player announced his shock exit during Tuesday’s episode.

He explained that he felt the best thing for his relationship with Paige was for him to return home so he could be at his “best” for her.

It comes after Jacques spent the past few days attempting to win back the 23-year-old after it was revealed he kissed Cheyanne Kerr while she was away in Casa Amor.

Tuesday’s episode saw them continue to work through issues after the return of former contestant Adam Collard caused a stir between the pair.

Holding back tears, he said: “I just wish I could finish my journey off with you in here, but I’m going to go home today.”

His revelation prompted Paige to cry and, as they embraced, he added: “You’ve got to still enjoy your time here. Just do what you need to do and I’ll be waiting for you.”

Through tears, Paige replied: “I don’t want you to go, but also I want you to be happy and it hurts me seeing you in this way.”

Jacques concluded: “I just know for us to work I need us to get back to myself and the only way I’m going to get back to myself is going home.”
