It comes after fans were left unimpressed with Gemma when she appeared to laugh when Jacques flew into a rage after learning Adam Collard had been talking about him.
Jacques slammed Adam as ‘f*****g nothing’ after Gemma told him around the firepit that the new bombshell had been ‘slagging him off’ on Tuesday’s episode.
The rugby player quicky went to Paige to ask her what Adam had said about him and even told Billy Brown to ‘f**k off’ so they could speak privately.
Billy left Jacques and Paige alone and returned to the firepit where he filled Gemma and Luca Bish in on what was happening.
Gemma, who dated Jacques before Love Island, was seen laughing and said: ‘He’s such a hot head!’
Viewers quickly took to social media to react to the moment, with one writing: ‘Gemma laughing at Jacques being upset knowing she’s triggering him. Showing her age here.’
Another said: ‘Gemma just pulled a grenade. She knew exactly what she was doing saying that to Jacques then laughing.’

Tash kicked things off by telling Jacques that Adam ‘had a conversation with me and he was like, obviously I was talking about Andrew and he was like, ‘We I think actions speak louder than words”.
Jacques said: ‘Oi, I hope he said stuff like that about me, because we’ll have a bit of biff then,’ only for his ex Gemma to jump in, revealing ‘Oh he was proper slagging you off.’
‘What do you mean? What’s he saying?’ said Jacques, getting riled up.
‘Immature, I think it was. Something like that,’ the girls told him, causing the furious star to stand up, getting ready to confront Adam.

Jacques then pulled Paige for a talk, telling her of Adam: ‘Who the f**ks he? Just another geezer who’s been on the show. He’s f**king nothing mate. Do you know what I mean?’
‘Alright and then keep that in mind,’ Paige said in a bid to calm him down. ‘You don’t need to rise to it and be like bitey with it, do you know what I mean? What does it actually change? Nothing.’
‘You know what I get like, if a boy’s gonna chat s**t behind my back, I don’t f**king have it.’ Jacques insisted. ‘If he tries to speak to me, I’ll say ‘f**k off, don’t speak to me.”

Jacques made the decision to quit the villa during Tuesday’s episode as he told Paige that he hadn’t been himself the last few weeks and wanted to go home.

Paige began to shed tears as the pair hugged, with Jacques telling her: ‘Still enjoy your time in here. Do what you need to do. Don’t even think about me when I leave.’
