Love Island's Ron 'stunned' after finding out about Lana's famous ex

Love Island's Ron Hall has been left surprised after discovering that Lana Jenkins has a famous ex-boyfriend, in scenes to air on Monday night's show.

In a game of Never Have I Ever, the makeup artist, 25, accidentally lets slip about her former flame, leaving Ron absolutely floored.

Luton native Lana Jenkins confesses: “My most recent ex-boyfriend is an actor.”

Lana reveals she used to date Channel 4 Hollyoaks hunk Owen Warner, who starred in ITV I'm A Celebrity last year and was runner up.

She spills the beans, and said: “It's my ex-boyfriend... he's called Owen Warner.”

Ron is coupled up with Tanyel Reven, 26, but is still interested in getting to know Lana more.

Ron laughs and responds saying: “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.”

Ron’s reaction doesn’t seem to wither, as in the Beach Hut he adds: “That was a shock, I don’t really know what to think about it…”

Lana previously admitted being heartbroken, and said: “I have had one heartbreak which was my last relationship, but I think coming out of that made me a better, stronger person.

“I’m all about forgiveness. I think, if I forgive, then it makes me feel better. So I don’t necessarily think a bad break-up is a bad thing in the long run.

“We’ve both moved on with our lives. He probably won’t watch, because I wouldn’t watch it if he was on there.”

It was previously reported that make-up artist Lana, 25, had a brief relationship with Owen in 2020 following his split from fellow Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Davies.

The actor reportedly left flirty comments on Lana's Instagram page for a few months after splitting from Stephanie - which was reportedly because he felt things were moving too fast, OK! Reports.

Lana, from Luton, did not tell Owen, 23, that she had signed up for the ITV2 show and says she did not expect the Hollyoaks star to tune in when she enters the South African village with nine other singles.

She said: "I don’t know what you’ll think, but I hope you’ll be supportive. He probably won’t see it because I wouldn’t see it if he was there, but I hope he supports it."

Lana has been a hit on Love Island so far, as fans have seen her growing on Ron during their time in the villa.

Tanyel stole Ron from Lana in the recoupling, the star chose to couple up with farmer Will Young, who she said.

On Sunday’s episode, Ron and Tanyel could be seen laughing together in bed, Lana looked completely devastated when she could see and hear them.

At the end of the episode, Lana quickly pulled the cover over her head to try and get some sleep while appearing to be upset.

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media Two, ITV2 and ITVX.
