“Last night I was assaulted by one of Jacques’ friends.”
He continued: “Jacques and him followed me on my walk back home from the club and stopped me.
“Then Jacques began to start an argument about the Love Island beef that was a year ago. Clearly can’t move on.
“Out of nowhere his friend punched me.
“I think it was a setup to get me to react but I’m too mature for this bs.”
The Islander also asked his fans to message him if they knew anything about the alleged assault.
