LOVE Island fans were left baffled this evening as Paige fought back tears over Jacques – but remained in the villa.
The paramedic from Wales was apparently left heartbroken over Jacques sudden exit as he promised to wait for her on the outside.
She was seen wiping away tears as she cuddled Tasha, but just moments later was flirting away with Adam.
Adam wasted no time in telling her how much he wanted to get to know her and Paige seemed rather taken with the attention.
Those watching at home were baffled by the switch in her feelings thought and questioned why she didn’t walk with him.
Taking to Twitter to discuss it, one person wrote: “I don’t understand why Paige didn’t just leave with Jacques?? #Loveisland.”

A second added: “I’m sorry i actually don’t know if i’m being dense here but if paige is so upset about jacques leaving then leave too?? #LoveIsland.”
While a third commented: “If Paige is this sad she can leave and be with Jacques. #LoveIsland.”
The rugby player, 23, announced his shock exit during Tuesday’s episode, explaining that he felt the best thing for his relationship with Paige Thorne, 24, was for him to return home so he could be at his “best” for her.
This comes after he has spent the last number of days attempting to win back Paige 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 amongst the pair.
At the end of the show, Jacques and Paige went for a chat on the terrace alone where he got emotional as he explained that over the past two weeks things had been getting to him.
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 added: “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.”
“I’ve been giving him strong lessons. Getting him to stretch his legs, stretch his arms, look up so he doesn’t look down on the ice. Bring out his really lovely confidence that he has – I mean he’s a very brave little boy to have gone through what he has, and we just want to support him in any way I can.”
