Paige Thorne and Jacques O’Neill are reportedly growing closer, after she split from Adam Collard.
Paige, 24, and Jacques, 23, were, of course, coupled up in Love Island, until he quit the show to prioritise his mental health.
Jacques promised to wait for Paige before she swiftly moved on with Adam, 26, who made a bombshell return to Love Island for a second time promising to be a changed man.
But now, after Paige and Adam called things off, she and Jacques are rumoured to be hanging out more.
A source revealed: ‘Paige and Jacques clearly got on really well with each other on the show.
‘They have hung out whenever they see each other and one thing has led to another.’

The insider added to The Sun: ‘It’s all just a bit of fun at the moment, but they have both said “never say never”.’
The paramedic recently confirmed she’d been in contact with Jacques for the first time since leaving villa, before stressing that they’re still ‘just friends’.
‘It’s spreading that me and Jacques are back in contact, and we’re going to be “reunited” and all this kind of thing,’ she recently told Cosmopolitan.

‘It’s not quite like that. We’re just friends.’
