She’s distancing herself.

Love Island star Paige Thorne has finally broken her silence on the drama surrounding her former flame Jacques O’Neill since the series ended.

This we learned that Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri both unfollowed after a video circled social media of him supposedly making fun of Tasha, as well as Remi Lambert accusing him of bullying him during the show and on a recent Instagram live.

While Jacques issued an apology for his actions last night and revealed he had started therapy due to it, Paige has now made it clear how she feels about the whole thing.

As the two were an item right up until Jacques left the show, Paige has now deleted all of the photos of him from her Instagram grid.

After leaving the show in fifth place with Adam Collard, she recently made things official with him and is going about her life with him outside the villa.

Jacques reportedly said he wouldn’t attend the reunion as he couldn’t bare to see the two of them together and also deleted Paige from his Instagram grid.

In a statement on Thursday afternoon, Jacques acknowledged his behaviour had not been acceptable and issued an apology on his social media.

He penned: “I want to acknowledge the situation that’s happening right now and apologise if my behaviour has caused offence or been misinterpreted the last few weeks.

“I genuinely have no bad feelings towards anyone and I’ve not meant for anything to come across that way at all. It was not my intention and I’m genuinely sorry if it has.

“Life has been very overwhelming recently and admittedly I’ve probably not handled myself in the best possible way. I take full responsibility for my actions.

“I’m aware I’m far from perfect and that there is work that needs to be done on myself.”
