They may not have found love in the villa, but fans are desperate for ex-islanders Antigoni Buxton and Jacques O’Neill to couple up now that they’re both out of Love Island.
Antigoni hit the villa before Casa Amor, but was dumped after the boys chose to save Danica Taylor over her.
Jacques, meanwhile, quit the villa after Casa Amor, in heartbreaking scenes where he admitted to Paige Thorne that he wasn’t feeling himself.
Since then, Paige has continued cracking on with returning bombshell Adam Collard, however, Jacques has vowed to still remain faithful to the 23-year-old Welsh paramedic.
But fans are now hoping that Jacques will crack on with Antigoni… after spotting the pair hanging out since leaving the villa.
Sharing a joint post on Instagram, Jacques and Antigoni revealed they took their mums out for brunch.

Antigoni captioned the post: ‘Made a real one for life, took our Mama’s out for brunch,’ before jokingly adding: ‘Also why do we look like siblings here.’
Jacques commented: ‘My bestie,’ with a blue heart.
Keen-eyed viewers spotted that Antigoni actually replied to Jacques comment: ‘Ily!!!’ with another blue heart.
Although the couples weren’t together in the villa, fans are now begging them to give it a go.
‘Please get together,’ one wrote, while another added: ‘You guys actually look quite cute together.’
A third penned: ‘Think you should get together. Paige has shown she doesn’t care and has moved on quick enough. Do you and be happy.’
Antigoni has previously revealed that another islander sent her flirty messages before he returned to the villa.
Spilling the tea that Adam had tried to catch her attention on social media, she said: ‘There was a photo of me on my friend’s Instagram the other day, and he replied to it calling me fit and then followed me!’
Adam is now coupled up with Paige, and things seem to be going strong, despite Jacques vowing to wait for her outside the villa and giving her his blessing to move on.
After seeing Adam and Paige cracking on and even sharing their first kiss, Jacques seemed pretty chill about the prospect of Paige and Adam progressing things.

When chatting to Laura Whitmore on Aftersun, he explained of himself and Paige: ‘We had a good connection and were really getting on.
‘I did see things on the outside working between us but as I say, she’s doing what she needs to do.’
He also reminded viewers he’d told the Welsh paramedic to ‘crack on’ after breaking the news he would be leaving just like he did ‘in Casa Amor’.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
