It follows the arrival of bombshell Adam Collard from series four who has appeared to turn Paige's head.

A spokesman today announced: "Jacques has made the decision to leave the villa.

"He will explain his reasons to the Islanders during tonight’s episode.

"We fully support his decision and look forward to seeing what’s next for Jacques."

Last night Jacques was seen in a heated row after being told Adam had been bad-mouthing him to Paige.

In a teaser for tonight's show, Jacques fumed: "Who the f***'s he?

"Just another geezer who's been on the show? He's f***ing nothing mate."

It came as Gemma Owen told her ex: "Oh he was proper slagging you off" - causing Jacques to jump to his feet.

Jacques broke down in tears earlier this week after admitting he regretted 'cheating' on Paige with Cheyanne Kerr, 23, during Casa Amor.

He snogged the blonde beauty in bed and made her believe they would recouple after finding a "connection" while his other half was away.

In the end he decided to stick with Paige, who also returned home to the villa alone.

But their happy ending didn't last long as Cheyanne shocked the girls by confessing about their brief fling.

Furious Paige has been giving Jacques the cold shoulder ever since.

Then last night they shared their first kiss and slept in bed together once again after they were saved by the public.

The next day however, while the boys were having R&R outside the villa, bombshell Adam walked in.

He made a beeline for beaming Paige - and even the other Islanders could see she was interested.

And with Paige still reeling from Jacques O’Neill's infidelity during Casa Amor week, her female co-stars think she is about to "delete" him and move on with Adam.

While Paige chats to Adam on the edge of the pool, 27-year-old Ekin-Su Culculoglu watches and remarks: "Look how happy she is. She's loving it."

Ekin then quipped: "Jacques is out the window...and delete."

Jacques has been desperate to win Paige back and even composed a lengthy text message to pull at her heartstrings.

But the arrival of bombshell Adam is believed to have scuppered his efforts.

Sitting with their feet dangling in the pool, Paige told Adam: "I'm not ready to train somebody else up to a boyfriend."

Tonight viewers will find out the fallout from Adam's arrival and how it impacted Jacques' decision to leave.
