Love Island star Lana left Ron gobsmacked with a "jaw-dropping" confession about her famous ex who comes from the Midlands. Contestants on the ITV2 reality dating show dropped a bombshell on Monday night (January 23) as they spoke about past relationships before they entered the South African villa.
As the Islanders got to know each other during a game of Never Have I Ever, the subject of famous exes came up. Lana, Olivia and Zara all took a sip of their drinks in response to the question: "Never have I ever dated or got with a celebrity".
Olivia was the first to fess up, explaining she'd dated someone in the 'athletic field', before Lana cryptically admitted her most recent ex-boyfriend was an actor, reported The Mirror. Zara then confessed: "I've gotten with an athlete before, a famous athlete, very famous" before claiming she had kissed superstar sprinter Usain Bolt.

Later on, Ron couldn't help but ask about Lana's celebrity ex as they sat alone together, saying: "The actor, who was that?" Lana revealed that it was Hollyoaks star Owen Warner, who was runner-up in the recent series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! and comes from Leicestershire.
A shocked Ron laughed as he replied: "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."
Speaking in the Beach Hut, Ron admitted to viewers: "That was a shock, I don’t really know what to think about it..." The revelation also stunned Love Island fans, who took to social media to share their reactions.
Twitter user @sarl0ux wrote: "LANA DATED OWEN WARNER?! NO WAYYYYY" with a mind-blown emoji. Another, @libbyfisherr, tweeted: "Owen Warner is Lana’s ex wtffffff my jaw dropped."
Fan @Keeley60008577 commented: "I audibly gasped when Lana said Owen warner." And @cardqns put: "No wonder Ron is intimidated…Owen beats all of the men in the villa by miles in both personality and looks!"
