This was an amazing interview. It is so clear that Jacques truly wants to be a good person and cares about making a positive difference to others and young people around him: what a great purpose! He has a good heart and it shines through.God bless to him!

Jacques man you are loved and supported by so many people and I can't thank you enough for how much you've inspired me and so many others. I just turned 24. I have adhd and my dad left at a young age which has made life so difficult to navigate.The sleepless nights, overthinking, depression, closing myself off, etc. As a man its frowned upon to talk about your emotions and your feelings and you're just tearing down those barriers. Again, I can't thank you enough Jacques and hope nothing but the best for you and your family❤

I haven’t even finished the full interview but I have so much respect for this man. He is breaking down toxic masculinity by being so open and actually addressing such important topics like mental health. This interview so far has been great, 2 true men showing what being a man really is and speaking about the real things. I really relate to Jacques on a lot of the topics as well. Both Scott and Jacques did a great great job with this !

Women have toxic masculinity and perpetuate it just as much as men. The label “toxic masculinity” refers to the concept that men need to be tough and closed off with their feeling to be a man which of course women play a big role in too! I never said toxic masculinity was an all male issue but he is helping the issue by being open with his feelings.

What are you serious? You can tell he is a arrogant mean jerk. You're on of them females if a guy looks good he can do no wrong. You need some serious metal help.

Very moved by this interview. Well done Jacques for being so open and honest. Huge amount of respect for you. 🙏

Wow.. what a true, honest Inspiration to others with ADHD. My son is 10, and diagnosed a year ago, he openly speaks to a therapist, people are too quick to judge, instead people need to take the time out to listen and understand.. Hands down the most open honest guy to speak 🙌

Wow just finished, absolutely amazing you both did such an incredible job! Jacques you have already helped so many people even just through this podcast for me and I’m sure for so many men! Really inspirational for showing men that it is ok to talk openly! Xx

Jacques is an inspiration to me so keep your head up, you followed what you wanted at the moment. Proud of your journey and the way you behaved.

Jaques, I relate to you so much. Also struggle with adhd and relationships and overthinking. Thank you

Fanatic podcast,what a lovely lad Jacques is,loved hearing about his upbringing and background it was really brave and honest and so glad he’s doing better now.Also he couldn’t have picked a more fitting management in you scott your so caring and genuine and actually give a shit about the person not the pound signs and that is worth more than any deal!!thanks for sharing and teaching us about judgment it’s eye opening xx

An honest and emotional account of someone who has just opened there heart. Jacques believe in yourself and the rest will come. Sending lots of love. ❤️

Very inspiring 👏 amazing chat lads and so nice to see such a vulnerable chat between males and addressing topics that are so present in this day and age. Keep your head up lad 🤩

Jacques so Glad you are getting Therapy & the Help & Support you need 😁 Believe in yourself you are a lovely young lad & many wonderful & happy years ahead of yourself 😁 Your Love for your Mum shines through 💕 I was also a single Mum with a now 25 year old Son the Love & Sunshine of my Life 💕 This year he’s got engaged 😁 brought his first house with his Fiancé & is now expecting a Baby Girl 💕 Erica x

I respect you both so much proves that you should never always believe what you see on social media and judge someone for it especially on love island you will never know a person until you have a conversation with them can see how he really is and I seen it from the second he left the villa he was trapped in a place he couldn’t escape not only the villa but his own mental health. I can relate to him a lot with not having a father figure but having an amazing bond with my mum and making her, me and my siblings proud is all I want. It’s ok to make mistakes but learning from them and owning up to them and dealing with them correctly is the only way to fix them he’s done really well with doing that can’t wait to see what he will be doing in the future

crying 😭 love him so much. honestly he deserves the best ❤

So glad & happy that Jacques has the support he needs. Refreshing too that he is really excepting things for his own health & not just jumping on the Money making machine etc that so many of ex islanders have done. You are allowed to be happy & laugh & smile when you want to be Jacques, try to ignore any negative comments, Brilliant Podcast, well done to you both, Scott thank you for being there for Jacques, hope Janet is OK too, God be with you All ❤️❤️❤️

Nice to see Jacques be able to share his story and experience but also hold himself accountable where needed 🤍

Thank you both for raising awareness of ADHD. I'm 46, impulsive, over thinking, say inappropriate things, struggle in relationships, anxiety. I can relate to things being said. Thank you I hope this helps so many people.

Amazing inspiration, such a beautiful lad inside and out.❤Lots of love to you and your mum ❤xxx

I’ve followed you since your love island appearance Scott, I then was riding with you at leisure lakes when you had your accident. Having watched your journey from the start, you have done amazing, your growth and determination is brilliant to see. How pure and honest you are in these podcasts is a true representation of the good human you are.

Well done Jacques you did great and well done Scott for the amazing job you are doing supporting him. To be honest I was worried nothing was happening for Jacques but I now understand there is a lot going on in the background. It is great to see the progress he has made and I look forward to seeing good things for him in the future. He certainly deserves them.

Nice too men are starting too be open with mental Heath. Thank u jac for being so open u will help so many. Out there too x

Loved this soo much. Jacques is an incredible young man ♥️

Watched the whole interview and loved it!!❤

Jacques what an inspiring young man you are. We would love for you to be involved in Oxford Creators in some way - we are a not-for-profit that helps many children with ADHD and SEN who do not attend school because of exclusion. Thank you Scott for sharing his story

Really enjoyed this Scott. Well done for bringing to light Jacques’ side of the story. It seems you guys have a lot to offer the world - keep going 🙏

We're here for you Jacques we got your back!!

I’m about halfway through this podcast and it’s so sad hearing about jacques’ life struggles, I hope he’s okay now❤️

Awesome story, so much respect for Jacques - your best moments are still ahead of you, you're still only 23 mate.

It takes alot to open up.and share experiences well done jacques for coming on here and talking about it people need to understand that not all disabilities are visible your not on your own and sharing stories helps And getting the help.you need It's also good that Jacques recognised what was happening and the fact he wasn't being himself in the villa and he decided to act on that Which is also a good thing not brushing it to one side or living in denial You are a true inspiration ❤️😍😍😍😍

That was exceptional. From you both. ❤️

Huge respect to you both!👏👏

Scott, I never watched Love Island when you was on…. But you reaching out to Jacques & helping him get the support he needs & continuing your friendship is such a wonderful thing. 😁 I wish you all the success with your podcast. 😁 Erica x

Massive respect for Jacques for being open and honest about his emotions because I think we all understand how hard it is to talk about it. I don't know but I felt like he still struggled during the interview but he felt safe enough to share what was going on. People judged him way too soon just by seeing a reality show but maybe this will help them understand how he is. He loves his mum with everything he has got and it is so warming to hear it. Sending love! 💗

Wow, just wow...... what an inspirational story and so honest. Really struck alot of chords and made me feel that I'm not alone in my own battles at the moment. Not really a love island fan especially the more recent ones but great job to you Scott for helping where you see that it is very much needed. Thank you for this podcast it's a lifeline.

I wasn’t keen on him before I watched this but I cried with him through this. Great podcast.

What a powerful podcast! Both great men wanting to better themselves and help so many people. Amazing respect to you both! X

I've listened to plenty of people's stories on mental health , but this man the way he explains his troubles I can totally relate. The self hate the over thinking of the smallest things I can 100% relate , being impulsive with toxic aggressive behaviour and hating yourself in the aftermath not being able to forgive yourself and even when people say they forgive you not believing them as you don't see a way how they can. Being socially awkward at a young age even though your still just one of the lads. I was into football and boxing but at the young age mainly football and I remember many times thinking if I don't make it in football I don't want to be here. Its helpful to me to hear someone talking this way and it's the way I've felt as when people usually talk about depression I can't completely relate to what there saying maybe in small ways but with jax really struck a cord with me. Stay strong jax 💪 keep fighting people like us our biggest fight is definitely with ourselves mate 👍

Jacques I am so proud of you the way you have protected your mum too ❤ you are such a good person and you speaking out then you would help other people, I loved you in love Island its herendose what you have been through darling 😢 people are so cruel I don't understand why they do things like that xxx ❤😢

Love this❤️

Jacques you have such a good soul. God bless you.

Just watched the whole interview and wow! People are to quick to judge, jacques has done so well speaking out about his childhood & what he wants to do for the future. Jacques is like an onion with loads of layers! I wish him the best x

What an incredible session! Scott you lead subtly and Jacques shown raw honesty. I hope J will use his experiences to help so many ADHD young boys that are being let down by the system. #Breaking down male mental health tabu

Having ADHD myself, i recognize so much things jacques is saying. Hope your doing well jacques!

jacques you are a true inspiration

I’ve been watching last year’s season on streaming. Jacques’ situation was genuinely heartbreaking and too familiar to me. His childhood story shows how damaging it can be to guilt children for things they can’t control. The seeds were planted and germinated into the bad decisions in his adult life. I have the utmost respect for his character and willingness to take responsibility for his problems before they consumed him. Moral support is the most precious thing we need in order to heal.

Wow firstly jacques I liked you on love island and could see the troubles towards the end. My message to you is don’t think love island was a negative it’s a positive because it will firstly help and guide you to mentally improve just you only first then do what you feel is right to help others and develop. REMEMBER YOU ARE GREAT !

Janet, you are a QUEEN!!! I know this is about Jacques but the respect I have for Janet! WOW! This interview has me so emotional. The number of stuff they went though and still currently experiencing. I just want the best for them. Haven’t finished the interview yet but I had to pause to leave a comment. Bravo to Scott for giving him this opportunity to speak. Not excusing the wrong you did Jacques. Please continue working on yourself!

I learnt Jacques side now!

Jacques nobody put a gun to your head and forced you to be disloyal to Paige. I’m all for him being open and honest about his ADHD and hats off to him for that, but in this situation he did still have a choice and he was willing to put up with the consequences. We’re the death threats and trolling acceptable? Absolutely not in any way. But also Jacques wasn’t very nice to Remi inside & outside the villa. Not forgetting how he treated Cheyenne. So maybe lesson here is - treat people how you would want to be treated. He’s got a lot of work to do on himself but he is fully aware of that and best of luck to him on his journey of self discovery.

Wait what? Why the hate? He was literally beautiful inside and out! I can’t understand people

22:06 literally my life story that’s crazy

He’s so sweet Scott can’t get a word in at times lol

18:40 that’s so sad bro 🤦🏾‍♂️ how can u hate this kid he’s so down to earth just misunderstood

Anyone know where Jacques polo is from?

Think it’s bang out for the producers to say he was looking stupid for following Luca out

bless him so unfair what the producers did

8:08 I can relate to him a lot aswell

It’s all good wanting to take time out and talk about your struggles. I am not aware of the struggles of ADHD.. however reading the comments saying how he is so brave. Sure brave to discuss and talk about it. In my opinion though which I’m entitled to have. Jaques behaviour towards Paige, Remi, Tasha and Cheyenne was not ok. The situation that happened when Gemma said to Jaques about what Adam said. Jaques behaviour was so out of order so what if Adam said some things it wasn’t anything extremely bad for Jaques to act that way and how he spoke to Billy. Struggling with ADHD is probably so difficult but it also doesn’t excuse being horrible and nasty and mocking people esp after you left the villa to work on your behaviour. Why did he leave the villa to work on himself then mock tasha and remi? Accountability needs to be taken here.

Would like to see Scott interview remi and see how someone feels on the receiving end of this type of behaviour

no one deserves hate

11:04 can’t imagine having cameras following u everyday on tv that shit would be tough

He’s a big softie ❤❤

Don't hate yourself. Nourish your child self.

Jaques just needs to be understood my little girl is exactly the same she’s only 7 she’s got lots of layers and has adhd she’s the most loving little girl but she’s so misunderstood it hurts 🧡

I am team Jacques no matter what.. Good luck Jaques in everything...

So we're just giving him a pass for all the bullying in & out of the villa? Scott is the owner of the PR company Jacques is signed too......

Жыл бұрын

All the bullying? He literally said one thing about Tasha which was uncalled for but for him it was like rugby lad banter. We didn’t see what went on with him and remi so we can’t fully judge that

I think he is actually a good guy but he needs to adjust his attitude and ego and the good side will show for him to receive kindness he needs to show it. Feels like this is to take away the negativ vibe away to improve management opportunities but hope not

ADHD sucks. 100 know how he feels i have felt all of these things .

I feel for Jacques when he left the villa but he had his reasons

He left because he knew Paige was going to couple up with Adam and he couldn’t bare to watch it, that’s what it came down too

I overthink all the time too! Lol

He has severe arrogance and entitlement which causes him to crash when he’s not being told how amazing he is or if he is given any criticism
