After promising he would wait for her until she left the villa, former Love Island star Jacques O'Neill appears to have deleted all photos of Paige Thorne from his Instagram.
During his shock exit earlier this month, Jacques told the Welsh beauty that he would love to make her his girlfriend, and would hopefully get his chance to do so when she returned to the outside world.
However, since Jacques' departure from the villa, Paige has been getting to know veteran islander Adam Collard, and the pair are getting on like a house on fire.

After just a few weeks, Adam and Paige have become a strong couple in the villa, and have even discussed becoming exclusive.
The couple's romance started to blossom mere days after Jacques' emotional departure, but the pro rugby player had assured viewers that he didn't have a problem with them exploring their connection.
Speaking to Laura Whitmore on Love Island: AfterSun, Jacques reminded the presenter that, before he left the show, he told Paige to 'crack on'. He explained that while he did believe the pair had a connection, he was happy to see her doing what she needed to do.
However, as Adam and Paige get more serious in the lead-up to the Love Island final, it looks like Jaques has had a change of heart.
Until now, Jacques had kept the sweet photos of him and Paige from the series up on his Instagram account for all one million of his followers to see.
But a quick scan of his profile now shows that Paige is nowhere to be seen.
Jacques hasn't erased his Love Island experience altogether, though, as photos he had taken with the other islanders are still up on his account.
So, is this a subtle message? Has Jacques given up hope on rekindling his romance with Paige once and for all?
The remaining islanders will be out of the villa and back in the real world in a matter of days, with the series finale due to hit TV screens on Monday. But Paige could potentially be heading home sooner than that.
In Tuesday night's episode (26 July), Paige and Adam were among the vulnerable couples at risk of being dumped from the island tonight.
After a public vote, Adam and Paige, Danica and Jamie, and Indiyah and Dami were named as the bottom three couples.
But which couple will ultimately be sent packing tonight? That's anyone's guess.
Love Island airs weeknights at 9:00pm on ITV2 and ITVHub.
