Love Island fans call for Antigoni and Jacques to get together as they reveal close relationship
They've met up since leaving the villa
Last updated 20th Jul 2022
Inside the villa, the drama is certainly building as the Love Island contestants face another dumping tonight (20th July). Summer Botwe, Danica Taylor, Dami Hope and Billy Brown are all at risk of being dumped from the Island, and the choice of who to send home rests with the other Islanders. But it seems as though there's still plenty of things going on outside the villa, as Antigoni Buxton and Jacques O'Neill have revealed their close relationship.
Antigoni was dumped from the Island on 1st July, with Jacques choosing to leave the ITV2 show on 12th July, and appears the pair have kept in touch since their time on the show came to an end. Jacques appeared on an Aftersun episode on Sunday 17th and reunited with Antigoni the following morning for breakfast.
The two former Islanders weren't alone, as their families were also with them, including Antogoni's celebrity chef mum. While her fitness fanatic dad Paul has previously caused a stir with fans, he didn't join the group at breakfast.
Antigoni shared snaps of herself, Jacques and their mums on Instagram, writing: 'Made a real one for life 💙 took our Mama’s for brunch 🥰
'Also why do we look like siblings here 😂'. (sic)
Jacques then replied to the post saying: 'My bestie 💙'
While we didn't see much of their friendship on screen, it's clear the pair must be close and some fans are even suggesting they get together, despite Antigoni's joke that they look like siblings.
One fan wrote: 'U 2 look perfect together u would make a lovely couple', with another adding: 'Please get together 😍🔥🙌', and a third saying: 'You guys actually look quite cute together 😍🔥❤️🔥'. (sic)
Several Twitter users shared the photos, with one saying: 'Would Jacques and Antigoni not make the best looking couple?! 😍 #LoveIsland #Jacquesoneil #Antigoni', and another captioned the picture with: 'Hear me out Antigoni and Jacques would make a nice couple, she calls him out on his behaviour and he actually listens to her. #LoveIsland'. (sic)
One fan commented on how happy they looked, writing: 'Glad to see Jacques smiling 🥺😊. I love Antigoni 🖤🤩.'
Although Jacques has said he will wait for Paige Thorne on the outside, she has been getting to know Adam Collard and the pair look pretty cosy together, so it makes sense why fans are now shipping Jacques with Antogoni.
As Love Island is set to finish on Monday 1st August so we'll soon see who ends up together.
