Love Island’s Antigoni shuts down Jacques dating rumours

Ellen Fitzpatrick

There you have it.

Love Island star Antigoni Buxton has snapped back at claims she is dating fellow islander Jacques O’Neill.

Since leaving the villa, the pair have been spending a lot of time together and now fans are begging for them to end up together.

Setting the record straight on the relationship, Antigoni told The Sun: “Me and Jacques are definitely not a thing. People can’t believe that a boy and girl can just be friends.”

Revealing that Jacques is yet to speak to Paige Thorne since the show ended, she added: “I am really happy for Paige though and I do want the best for her.

“She’s amazing and she was one of my really good friends in there so whatever makes her happy is good for me.”

Jacques has deleted all of the photos of him and Paige from his Instagram feed, which only further sparked rumours about him and Antigoni.

Since leaving the island, the pair have been spending time with one another, and last night the dating speculation was fuelled when they attended an event in Manchester together alongside Liberty Poole, Lucinda Strafford, Tina O’Brien and Lucy Fallon.

However, an Instagram post shared by them both shortly after Jacques left the villa has made it clear that they are just very good friends.

The pair posted a series of photos of them together, as well as a few of them having brunch with their mothers.

The caption reads: “Made a real one for life (…) took our Mama’s [sic] for brunch.”

They added: “Also why do we look like siblings here.”

Antigoni has also referred to Jacques as her “bestie” in the caption of a photo on her Instagram story.
