I couldn’t cope. I was literally feeling awful. It was the worst I’d ever felt in my life.” He added: "Producers tried coming to me, they were like, ‘Jacques, are you OK? I was saying, ‘I don’t want to speak to you or anyone. I want to be left to myself.’ It was too much."
He explained: “In the end I couldn’t deal with it, I wanted to get out of the place. I was crying, saying to them ‘I’m ready to go home’." After leaving the main villa, Jacques says he stayed in a separate apartment with a security guard and two producers. And he says it was two days before he got his phone back and could speak to his mum Janet Wright.
