Love Island’s Paige Throne and Jacques O’Neill spark rumours they are back together

Love Island’s Paige Thorne has sparked rumors that she’s back together with ex Jacques O’Neill after a “flirty” exchange on Instagram.

The beauty, 24, dated Jacques, 23, on the ITV2 reality show before leaving the villa for his mental health, and she then moved on to couple up with Adam Collard – before splitting back in the UK amid allegations of cheating.

Now things could heat up again after Jacques commented on a gorgeous photo of the stunner complimenting her beauty.

Paige was very leggy in a Ralph Lauren pinstripe shirt that she chose to wear as a mini dress.

She completed the look with a leather belt from the designer and sported a radiant makeup palette.

While dining alfresco, Paige captioned the photo, “Name a more iconic duo other than shopping and brunch, I’ll wait.”

While Jacques replied, “I told you you’d look pretty in Ralph Lauren, you should listen to me more often.”

Paige responded with two white heart emojis, sparking speculation whether the two were indeed back together.

It comes after Jacques admitted that he still cares about his former flame, following their reunion at the GraceJacob Selfridges & Co event at Mnky Hse restaurant.

Speak against OK!he said, “I have no bad blood at all about her and she has nothing against me, whatever happened, it happened, it was on a show and it’s done.”

“If I see Paige, I’m going to talk to the girl. I have nothing against her. She is a sweet girl and I will always take care of her. It’s that simple.’

He continued, “Once you have feelings for someone, it doesn’t just happen, you’ll always take care of them no matter what, so that’s how I see Paige now.”

It comes after Paige was seen speaking into Jacques’ ear as they socialized at the event in Manchester.

Photos obtained by MailOnline showed Paige and Jacques looking very close as they chatted in the bustling crowd at the fun event.

Paige was seen talking into Jacques’ ear in the noisy environment, while the rugby player appeared to be leaning towards her.

The pair seemed engaged in eager conversation as Paige appeared to put her arm around Jacques as partygoers danced around them.

Prior to leaving Love Island, Jacques had flirted and kissed other girls during the infamous episodes of Casa Amor, tarnishing his relationship with Paige.

Of her decision to walk away from him, Paige previously said, “I was like, if I don’t call it quits now, I know I’m really going to fall too hard and can’t get myself out of it.”

She revealed that the pair have been in touch since the show, adding, “We’re on good terms.”

Paige split from boyfriend Adam after it emerged that he had cheated on her.

Jacques added that he would always support Paige, and hinted at the breakup by saying she was “done badly” by someone.

He said, “She gets a lot of hate and bad press, but if we have each other to take care of each other, why shouldn’t we, because we’re actually good people.” So it’s just normal to be nice to each other.

“She’s been mistreated by someone you know, so I’ll get her back if she’s been mistreated by a guy like that.”

However, he also maintained that the pair were just friends at the moment and that he was focusing on himself rather than romance.

In October, Paige claimed she’d seen even more videos of ex-boyfriend “cheating.”

In September, a video of Adam putting his arm around a woman in McDonald’s went viral.

He was then pictured partying in Ibiza while cozying up with another girl at a pool party.

After the photos and videos came out, Paige deleted all traces of Adam from her social media and unfollowed him on Instagram.

Adam later confirmed that he and Paige are no longer together, tellingly The sun: ‘We are not together. Things happen. But I mean she’s a great girl.’

Paige has since broken her silence on the shock split, in an appearance on the Saving Grave podcast.

She confirmed, “I’m single and living my best life. No, I’m kidding, it’s been a really bad time.’

Paige opened up about the cheating allegations, saying that Adam was “not friends” with the woman and that there was further video evidence.

She said, ‘It’s not just that video. There are other videos that people don’t know about from different people, on the same night, in different locations.

“At first I was like, you know what? It’s just an arm. I get that people get flirty. There’s nothing to it. If I’m in the club and a man puts his arm around me, is that cheating? No.

“And then these other videos came out and I was like, ooh. Ooh, I can’t justify this.’

Paige said the videos show Adam and women in the VIP restrooms and rule out any chance of the couple reconciling.

She continued, “I mean, would you? Would you like to come back with someone like that? The videos speak for themselves. Which everyone has seen and which only I have seen.’
