The complaints issued followed mixed feelings from fans who were frustrated at both Jacques O’Neill and his reaction to Paige Thorne after the challenge, and the challenge itself.
It comes after Jacques’ heart rate was raised the most by Gemma Owen, something which upset Paige – and she spoke to Jacques about it.

Paige confronted Jacques about the results of the heart rate challenge prompting him to say that he thinks his heart rate raised the most for Gemma due to their history.
Speaking in the Beach Hut Paige said: “The guys I’m meant to be seeing still fancies his ex. He could’ve fancied any other girl, I’m done.”
When Jacques explained himself he said that Paige’s reaction was “pathetic” and said: “Maybe because we’ve experienced something like that before and it was like a flashback.”
Paige began questioning Jacques, but he apologised to her the next day.

He said to Paige: “When you actually opened up and told me why, I was like ok, I apologise. I should’ve had your feelings first before mine.”
Later in the Beach Hut he added: “Last night with Paige, I was quite selfish at first- I realised that pretty quick when I spoke to her. I should’ve been there for her straight away.”
However, despite Jacques’ apologies, fans were still not keen on his reaction.
One use wrote at the time: “Did Jacques call Paige pathetic over the challenge?? Huh?”

Another said: “Jacques sorry???? What???? Saying to Paige you think she’s pathetic about the challenge and then say your heart was racing because he had flashbacks WHAT can’t be serious?”
A third wrote: “I’m taking back my support for Jacques, the way he dealt with Paige after the challenge was [red flag emoji].”
Fans have also been left unimpressed with Jacques while he’s in Casa Amor, declaring he’s putting his relationship to the test by actively “cracking on” with the latest bombshells.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
