Proud dad? Luis' ex has a different tale to tell on our All Stars podcast
Earlier this week, we reported how Jake was seen fighting back tears as he explained the reason for his exit.
He then jetted back to the UK - keeping fans up to date with a smiling selfie as he touched down at London's Heathrow.
Now Jake has uploaded a lengthier video, showing him sat in a snug dressing gown holding a brew.
Looking very relaxed, he told fans: "I hope you're all well.

"I'm just catching up on Love Island from last night -- s*** is about to get real.
"I tell you what, I have been waiting for a coffee, a proper English coffee like tarmac, for two weeks and here it is.
"I tell you what, the coffee in South Africa ain't very good and this tastes b***** lovely so cheers to that."
In a separate slide, he got down to business and dished the tea on the latest Love Island All Stars episode - and in particular Chris and Molly's kiss.

He said: "I've just watched last night's episode, it was a juicy one, it really was.
"I feel for a certain someone but we move."
On TikTok, he continued: "I want to know should Chris and Molly have kissed so early on? Obviously with Callum still being there.
"Or is it all good because you're in there for one reason, that is to find love, and you've got to move fast.
"Me personally I think it's a bit quick still and Callum and Molly haven't aired out what's been going on with their relationship.
"So I wouldn't have done it but I just want to give Callum a hug.
"Callum just looks a bit upset bless him, I just want to go and give him a hug."
Earlier in the week, it was Jake himself who appeared in need of comfort.
Looking clearly emotional by the fire pit as he announced his impending departure, he said: “Everyone can we go to the fire pit for a minute.
"I was here to find love and there is no one here I have that connection with. I just want to let you all know I am going tonight."
Following his departure, he said in a statement: "After a few amazing days in the villa, I've made the decision to leave Love Island: All Stars as I've realised that now isn't the right time for me to find love as I would never want to force a connection.
"I have no regrets whatsoever as I'm so glad I got to enjoy my time in the villa reuniting with some familiar faces as well as finally getting an opportunity to clear the air with Liberty.
"I wish her and all of the other islanders the very best and will be cheering them all on from home."

Previously, Love Island viewers were convinced Jake had quit because Liberty exposed his foot fetish.
Yet he called over his ex for a chat prior to his departure to make the peace.
