LOVE Island’s Antigoni Buxton and Jacques O’Neill grow closer as they head out on a day trip to Manchester.
The pair met on this year’s season of the ITV2 dating show – but are just pals.

Jacques, 23, entered the villa on day seven as a bombshell, while Antigoni, 26, arrived ten days later.
Unfortunately the singer didn’t have much luck finding the one, and her stint only lasted eight days, before the boys decided to dump her from the island.
Meanwhile, Jacques – who was in a couple with Paige Thorne, 24 – walked from the show earlier this month, and unfortunately the paramedic has since then cracked on with Adam Collard, 26.
Since arriving back in the UK the Antigoni and Jacques have met up a few times.

During a recent interview with Digital Spy, Antigoni was asked which islanders she thinks have been portrayed in a bad light.
She explained that Jacques’ personality hasn’t been shown in full.
Speaking to the publication, she revealed: “In terms of a fair light, I feel like Jacques has been put in quite a bad light and he’s actually really lovely.”
“He’s definitely got this laddish/boyish side that can tow the line of being a little bit too cheeky sometimes, but that’s only one side of his personality.

“And there’s another side of his personality that’s really sweet and sensitive and caring.”
She continued: “I don’t think viewers are really going to see that, which is a shame, but hopefully they will do over the coming weeks.”
