[@Lucy-yf6of]

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!

Love Jacques He’s such a genuine guy HIS MUM MUST BE SO PROUD

[@terrywilliams621]

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❤

[@gemmarebecca6515]

I always loved Jacques regardless of other peoples views. I could always tell he had a good heart. It's great to see he has lots of exciting things in the pipeline, he deserves all the success in the world. 💗

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

[@samanthatew6513]

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 🙌

[@ericabates5361]

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

Loved how honest jacques is, a lot of guys can’t be honest and think that they have to act macho & aloof 👏🏻👏🏻

[@jenniferjones471]

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 !

[@jenniferjones471]

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.

[@oliviaoneill7592]

How is he breaking down toxic masculinity when he sits on lives and rips people?!

[@ClintLeander]

He's a great dude. He's a real good friend and he's down to earth 😎

[@JEANMAMMA]

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 ❤️❤️❤️

[@philbearmorley6148]

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.

[@bethjudd2534]

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

[@traceykemp78]

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

[@Mike-vd4yl]

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.

[@Mama-of5db]

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.

[@nathanatwood7590]

Having adhd myself he speaks facts. What an inspiration ❤️

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.

[@oxfordcreators]

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

[@anawalia5950]

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! 💗

[@175muffin]

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 ❤😢

[@elliechristie8165]

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

[@Hartinmouston5158]

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.

REMEMBER YOU ARE GREAT !

Jacs fair play Every man on this planet have 1 major problem ... there ego stops them from opening up and expressing there feelings and problems.... Good to see him with a bit of life back in his body as he looked drained.... Keep marching forward....

[@boxingstraighttalk6599]

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 👍

[@amyaustin9069]

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 🤩

[@olivertermeulen2116]

Wow what an eye opener episode

[@marybrogan6670]

That was exceptional. From you both. ❤️

[@EMxo__]

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.

[@boxingstraighttalk6599]

You need to grow up you obviously don't understand the many different types of mental health, he's not excusing anything he's trying to explain his issues. How did you watch this and go too that moment in love Island. Get a grip

[@EMxo__]

@@boxingstraighttalk6599 did you totally just miss the point of my comment? I’ve just said it’s great he’s speaking up about his mental health/spreading awareness and that he’s working on himself. I just said nobody forced him to do anything in that situation everyone has a choice in there. Which he has acknowledged which is why he’s making changes & going to therapy. Evidently you’re illiterate as you seem to have missed all of that. 😅 as for mental health, you have no idea about my life or the things I’ve pushed through to still even be here today… so don’t say I have no idea about it. If you could drop the personal attack that would be great because trust me you have no idea 👍

[@itsnothinglong1]

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.

[@tygrant2009]

22:06 literally my life story that’s crazy

[@itsnothinglong1]

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

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

He has a business interest as a PR manager to shed a good light on the people he manages. It’s called Public Relations for a reason. How does his client he manages being cast in a bad light good for him? He’s controlling the narrative, if you look Scott leads all the conversation on how Jacques has behaved cause without it he’s clearly just a massively insecure bully.

@@oliviaoneill7592 I’m just confused by the conflict of interest comment. It’s not a legal matter. There is no interest being conflicted. Yes his manager has a podcast and Jax is on it, there’s no problem with that! Lots of people do podcasts for eg of their best friends. There’s no rule you can only do podcasts of independent people!! Running a podcast, you always control the narrative, that’s the premise of EVERY podcast. You don’t let the guest on your podcast run the narrative!!! If you’re not happy with listening to the podcast, don’t but I don’t understand the need to comment nasty comments under it!

[@oliviaoneill7592]

What of what have said is nasty? If anyone has been nasty and caused hurt it’s the person being interviewed. I just commented on it. And whilst it isn’t a legal matter, it’s motivated by profit and therefore just seems a bit off to me.
