LOVE Island hunk Jacques O’Neill confirmed his relationship with Stephen Bear’s ex as the pair enjoyed a cute date night.
The Welsh rugby lad, 25, held influencer Ellie O’Donnell‘s hand as they headed to Manchester‘s trendy Sexy Fish eatery.
We told how Ellie, 27, had first seen sparks fly with Love Island‘s controversial star back in July.
It came after she dated convict Stephen back in 2019, but the pair split up shortly after he confessed to cheating on her.
Yet it appears the “smitten” new couple are on a much happier chapter.
Ellie oozed sophisticated glam in a nude-coloured sleeveless zip waistcoat.
She paired it with a matching cargo-style mini skirt with two huge pockets on the sides.
Gold strappy heels and a wavy blow dry finished off her look as she prepared for a spot of fine dining in the northern city.
Jacques gave a nod to the colour scheme for the night in a tan jacket with a string gold swirl design on the front.
He paired it with a crisp white T-Shirt and blue jeans, finishing off his look with a pair of bright white trainers.
He took Ellie’s hand and guided her through the streets before taking a step forward and walking ahead.
An insider previously told us how their romance has blossomed.
They said: “Jacques and Ellie are really good match and love spending time together.
“They recently went on a romantic trip together, which made them even more smitten than before and they are now thinking about moving in together.
“Jacques gets on really well with her sister Daisey as well and they often all hang out together.”
Love Island All Stars will be back for its second series in 2025 - and rumours are already rife as to who will be making a comeback this time around.
After the second All Stars series was announced in May, show boss Mike Spender said: “Lots of people have been in contact about it, lots of fun people, from series one onwards.
“We cast it because we knew what was going on behind the scenes of who was getting with who and now even more stories have come out.
“I think we will now save ex-islanders for All Stars.”
One rumoured name for the next series is data engineer Harry Baker.
Harry, 25, arrived in the villa as a bombshell in Series 11. He soon ‘stole’ Grace Jackson after making his debut.
Arriving late in the run, he only lasted for a few days before being dumped alongside Lola Deloca.
Despite the hunk’s brief stint, viewers have called for Harry’s return.
One upset fan wrote: “Get you in All Stars next”, to which Harry cryptically replied by posting ‘shrugging’ emojis.
Ellie has huge following on social media alongside her sister and the pair are known as the O Dolls.
The Huddersfield-born stars both battled it out for the Miss England title in 2016 before rocketing to social media fame.
Meanwhile, Jacques rose to fame when he appeared on Love Island in 2022 and struggled with the breakdown of his relationship with Paige on the show.
He made the decision to quit and later admitted he struggled to “be myself” while struggling with his mental health and ADHD.
During his time he was accused of ‘gaslighting’ Paige and islander Remi Lambert later claimed he felt bullied by Jacques.
At the time, Jacques said: “Life has been very overwhelming recently and admittedly I’ve probably not handled myself in the best possible way.
“I take full responsibility for my actions. I’m aware I’m far from perfect and that there is work that needs to be done on myself.”
