LOVE Island fans are all sharing the same concern for Jacques O’Neill after he appeared on tonight’s Aftersun.
The professional rugby player dramatically quit the show last weekend.
Tonight he appeared on the Laura Whitmore fronted show – but didn’t seem himself.
He told the presenter that he quit because it all became too much for him.
“I need to see the boys, my mum,” he explained.

“It got way too much for me in there. I knew that and I removed myself from the situation.”
And speaking about Paige, he opened up about his feelings.
“I just wanted a girl to like me for who I am,” he said.
“I wanted a best friend and I found that with Paige. But what she’s doing now? I f***ed up in Casa. I hold my hands up and I regret that.
“In there it was more than a TV show. It was genuine feelings.”
And he spoke about watching himself back on the show after returning home.
“The first thing I did was watch the episodes,” he said.
“I had no more tears left. I put it on, and was like ‘Oh f***’. I’ve got work to do on myself and I know that.
“And if that’s what I’ve got out of the show and the experiences, great.”
Host Laura then insisted that Jacques had a great time in the villa and “loads of fun” and asked him to name his highlight.
However he struggled for an uncomfortably long time before naming the striptease.
And the whole interview left fans all concerned for him.
One wrote: “jacques looks genuinely upset i hope he’s getting the hope he needs #loveisland #aftersun”
