Love Island star Danica Taylor has spoken out against fellow contestant Jacques O’Neill bashing his bid to become a mental health advocate.
The gorgeous dancer didn’t hold back as she opened up to Johnny Seifert on Secure The Insecure podcast, the 21-year-old said she is unsure he is the right fit to help others after he was accused of bullying Remi Lambert on the show.
She said: “Yes, be an advocate for mental health. But have you been the correct advocate?”

“I wasn’t even in the villa at this point when things kicked off. And it’s not really my place to comment. I don’t know sort of what did go on, but all I know is you can’t deny somebody’s feelings.
She went on to say that he might be doing this seek “justice” for the way he was treated after he was burned by Paige despite professing his feelings for her.
Danica continued: “And if Remi feels that he’s been bullied, and he feels like he wants justice for the way he was treated in there, then I don’t think he’s wrong for saying that because again, it’s a human emotion if that’s how he felt then it should be looked into.”
“I think what it is, is not that Jacques can't be an advocate for mental health, but maybe like, I think he is taking time to reflect on maybe how we have made somebody feel, even if he doesn’t agree or understand maybe why Remi is feeling the way he is.”
After leaving the villa, bombshell Remi accused Jacques of making his time in the villa “s**t” and starting arguments.
Remi, who was ditched from the island in the first few weeks of the 2022 series, said that many of these rows did not make it to air.
In June, he told YouTube series Reality With Will Njobvu: “There was a lot of stuff that wasn’t aired – a lot of stuff going on.
“So basically – me and Jacques got into quite a lot of arguments and it just made my experience s***t. It ruined it for me.
“People were saying, “It’s because he’s got a rugby persona’ – but you can’t treat people like that,” Remi hit back.
He claimed that the sports star would “constantly” mimic other islanders to get under their skin.
Addressing the controversy, Danica contined: “So then it is hard because it’s like if you’ve made somebody feel that way to the point where they strongly want the justice and the recognition that they were made to feel that kind of way in the villa, then being a mental health advocate is hard.
“I don’t even I don’t even know how you navigate around a situation like that.”
