LOVE Island viewers have slammed the show for ‘exploiting’ Jacques by airing Adam and Paige’s snog.
The rugby player quit the show last week and later told The Sun how he was sobbing and desperate to leave – but was pressed to carry on by producers.
On last night’s show Paige – who had been coupled up with Jacques – was seen snogging Adam as they grew closer than ever.
Those watching at home were concerned for Jacques and took to Twitter to discuss it.
One person wrote: “The fact that ITV genuinely thinks it’s ok to make misogynistic digs at Ekin on live TV on after sun and then bring in Jaques for him to watch times where he was most vulnerable when he stated earlier he hadn’t watched any of the eps yet is so disgusting of them #LoveIsland.”
A second added: “Really worried about Jaques after tonights @LoveIsland Aftersun. The lad is clearly working through some stuff just hope @itv2 keep a duty of care to the guys and make sure hes ok. Props to the lad for being open about his emotions! #loveisland.”

While a third commented: “Shame on you #loveisland for playing clips of Jaques crying making him sit there watching that literally holding back his emotions all for a tv show.”
His explosive exit came after a bust-up with Adam Collard over Paige Thorne.
Over the weekend Jacques confessed he “couldn’t cope” in the TV villa, adding: “Doing Love Island was the worst decision of my life.”

Jacques said: “I was ready to break down.
“I was feeling so mentally drained, I just wanted to go home and get myself right.
“It broke me and I was already broken. I was crying my eyes out. I couldn’t cope.
“I was literally feeling awful. It was the worst I’d ever felt in my life.”
