Jacques O’Neill‘s proud mum Janet uploaded the memories to her own Instagram account, with a family friend commenting: “This is how I remember him xx.”
Rugby player Jacques, 23, has found himself well and truly in the doghouse with partner Paige Thorne after his kiss with bombshell Cheyanne Kerr during the dramatic Casa Amor twist.
Paige’s initial excitement at being reunited with Jacques was quickly replaced with heartbreak when Cheyanne, 23, exposed their fling in front of everyone at the recoupling.
Jacques was subsequently slammed by furious Love Island fans as Paige, 24, ended up in tears over his behaviour.

But his family have issued a plea to viewers to “be kind” and revealed Jacques was diagnosed with ADHD as a child.
ADHD is a mental health disorder related to impulsivity and hyperactivity that interferes with day-to-day functioning, according to ADHD UK.
His sister, Karen, who is running his social media while his in the villa asked fans to be more considerate of Jacques.
Alongside a screenshot of an ADHD resource explaining how people with ADHD can seem “rude or disrespectful”.
She wrote: “Jacques was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 9 years old.
“By no means is this a get out clause for his actions but it is to show that he can fundamentally struggle with his emotions at times.
“He is an amazing person who I’m proud to call my friend/little brother.”
Karen added: “All the hate thrown towards Jacques doesn’t go to him directly….It comes to his loved ones who have always supported him and not just whilst he is on Love Island.
“Love Island, although real. Is still a show where the producers do have control and we see 45minutes out of the 1440 in 24hours.
“Please be kind
.”
