About this episode
“I just want to be a good person, for me, my mum and the people around me”
Has Love Island’s Jacques O’Neill been misjudged?
After leaving the villa in one of the most controversial moments of the 2022 season, Jacques sits down with Scott Thomas to tell his story.
Hear how ADHD has affected Jacques since childhood and that he found an escape in rugby. Scott delves into how easy it is to make snap judgements and what it takes to understand someone’s world view.
He uncovers the many layers of Jacques O’Neill as they discuss the attention Jacques received in the press and on social media after leaving the show, his vision after Love Island, why he wants to help others with ADHD, and why above all else the relationship he has with his mum is the most important thing of all.
