LOVE Island winner Amber Gill has come under intense scrutiny for making “incredibly harsh” comments about Jacques O’Neill.
Jacques, who was paired up with the Swansea-born beauty, made the surprising announcement after an eventful few days.
His exit from the villa was a shock to many after he had seemingly made up with Paige Thorne after their Casa Amor drama.
Ahead of his departure, Amber – winner of the series in 2019 – took to Twitter to slam Jacques for his “mad” behaviour.
In full view of her 402k followers, she penned: “Jacques is getting this mad as if he wasn’t chatting to two women just days ago smiling over his boner. Unbelievable.”
Her comments, however, haven’t gone down well with some, with many taking to the thread to air their thoughts.

Alongside an array of angry-faced emojis, one person penned: “These are young people in the height of emotions. You have been through it. Be kind.”
Echoing their comments, someone else said: “The bullying that kid has received online is unacceptable and it’s all from the #BeKind crowd as well. Don’t these people learn?”
While a third remarked: “I remember Amber Gill being a big part of the #BeKind movement. The blokes clearly breaking down. Incredibly harsh comments. “
Jacques announced his shock exit during Tuesday’s episode.
He explained that he felt the best thing for his relationship with Paige was for him to return home so he could be at his “best” for her.
It comes after Jacques spent the past few days attempting to win back the 23-year-old after it was revealed he kissed Cheyanne Kerr while she was away in Casa Amor.
Tuesday’s episode saw them continue to work through issues after the return of former contestant Adam Collard caused a stir between the pair.
Holding back tears, he said: “I just wish I could finish my journey off with you in here, but I’m going to go home today.”
His revelation prompted Paige to cry and, as they embraced, he added: “You’ve got to still enjoy your time here. Just do what you need to do and I’ll be waiting for you.”
Through tears, Paige replied: “I don’t want you to go, but also I want you to be happy and it hurts me seeing you in this way.”
Jacques concluded: “I just know for us to work I need us to get back to myself and the only way I’m going to get back to myself is going home.”
