Love Island 's Paige Thorne has moved on from Jacque's O'Neill, as she's coupled up with Adam Collard, just days after Jacques' shock departure from the villa.
On Thursday 14 July night's episode of the hit ITV2 show, the boys had to choose which girl they would like to couple up with, with new bombshell Adam, 26, – who originally starred in Love Island in 2018 – the first to choose.
To no one's surprise, he chose to couple up with Paige, 24, admitting that she was "beautiful", "funny" and "made him feel welcome" in the villa after his arrival a few days ago.
He also said that he found himself "gravitating towards her", and Paige grinned as he spoke before kissing him on the cheek as she joined him at the firepit to start her new coupling.
After the recoupling, Paige complimented Adam on his speech, whilst he admitted that he felt "nervous" as he was speaking.
They both said that they were "excited" to see where it would go (including sharing a bed) and agreed that they both get along well.
Speaking to the girls on the terrace the morning after sleeping in a bed with Adam, Paige admitted that she was happy, but that it wasn't to mean that what she had with 23 year old Jacques meant nothing.
The new couple comes just days after Jacques sensationally announced that he was quitting the show after struggling with his mental health and admitted that he wanted "to feel like himself again".
Paige and Jacques were mostly going strong until Casa Amor, when Jacques got more than friendly with a couple of the new arrivals including Mollie Salmon, 23, and Cheyanne Kerr, 23, with whom he shared a few steamy smooches.
He chose to remain with Paige in the dramatic recoupling, and she also chose to remain with him before.
Despite trying to win back Paige's affections with a love note hidden in her bed and a longer love note written at night on his Love Island phone, the pair were still on rocky ground.
Adam's entrance to the villa did nothing to dispel Jacques' fretting, with him even confronting the Geordie lad after hearing he had called him 'immature' in front of Paige.
Jacques eventually decided to leave the Love Island villa on Monday 11 July, and his dramatic exit was aired on Tuesday night's episode of the show.
Confirming that Jacques was leaving the show on Tuesday, a Love Island spokesperson said: "Jacques has made the decision to leave the Villa. He will explain his reasons to the Islanders during tonight’s episode. We fully support his decision and look forward to seeing what’s next for Jacques."
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
