I'm A Celebrity star Owen Warner has broken his silence after his lockdown fling with Love Island ’s Lana Jenkins was revealed.
The Hollyoaks star, famed for playing heartthrob Romeo Nightingale, was discovered to have dated Islander Lana in last night’s episode.
Owen has now surfaced for the first time since the revelation, heading out for a run instead of acknowledging his ex’s name drop on national telly.
The soap actor took to his Instagram, ignoring fans’ questions about Lana, and instead showed a clip of himself after a sweaty run.
He filmed himself dodging the romance rumours, saying “I feel absolutely mashed. Look how sweaty I am, jeez!
“Looks like I’ve been out in the rain and it’s not even raining out there – I look like a shadow of myself,” he told fans before asking: “Why do I do this? What am I doing to myself?”
His emergence comes after Lana unveiled him as her very famous ex in last night’s episode on ITV2.
Sat around the fire pit, the sexy singletons played a game of Never Have I Ever in last night's episode with several girls, including make-up artist Lana, 25, drinking to the question: “Never have I ever dated or got with a celebrity?”
Keeping mum, all Lana said was that her ex-boyfriend was an actor, but later Ron later quizzed the make-up artist when they were alone on the sunbeds.
Lana then revealed that soap star Owen, 23, was her ex, which left Ron shocked, and then asking: "Did you love him?"
Lana smiled shyly at Ron but didn't reply, with the hunk then saying: "You did, didn't ya? How long was you with him for?"
The blonde beauty replied: "We had a lockdown relationship."
Laughing, Ron said: “So basically I’m competing with someone who's just come runner-up on a massive show and who’s an actor and I work in finance, yeah, erm, sick. This is great.”
After soap star Owen split from actress Stephanie Davies, he and Lana had a brief romance in 2020.
The make-up expert previously shared a loved-up snap of the two together on Instagram .
In the snap, the two smiled for the camera as they cuddled up to one another while sitting outdoors.
The photo has since been deleted.
He even left a comment on one of her posts, writing: "Proper glowing [heart emojis]."
It is understood that Lana and Owen got to know each other after being introduced through mutual friends when she worked on CBBC's So Awkward.
Their romance seemingly only lasted a few months as they decided to go their separate ways.
