'It broke me and I was already broken.' Love Island star speaks out after shock exit - as show says it takes welfare 'extremely seriously'
A spokesperson for Love Island told Sky News the show has"rigorous and extensive checks in place" to asses contestants' physical and mental health in advance of being cleared for the show."This is something we take extremely seriously," they added.
It came after the rugby player spent several days trying to win her back after it was revealed he kissed newcomer Cheyanne Kerr while Paige was away in Casa Amor. Jacques, from Leeds, flew back to the UK on Tuesday and stopped off at his former rugby club, Castleford Tigers, on Wednesday. Speaking about Jacques leaving the hit show to protect his mental health, head coach Lee Radford said:"Like any walk of life there are obstacles in front of you, unfortunately. Making sure people are around you - whether that be your family or club related - to help you deal with that is pretty important."In May 2019 ITV released a comprehensive new set of duty of care processes ahead of the fifth series.
