Speaking about his exit, a source close to the show told The Sun: “Jake had a nice three days in the villa and had a very emotional chat to Maya Jama. Jake couldn’t stay in the villa so he quit the show – it’s not his time and it’s not the right time to find love.”
The insider added that neither of the old couple knew the other one was going to be there, which made the embarrassment feel worse. They added that for producers, “it was clear from the start they wouldn’t get back together”.
