New Love Islander Lana Jenkins has a very famous ex-boyfriend.
The 25-year-old celebrity make-up artist from Luton is one of 10 islanders preparing to enter the villa in South Africa for the new winter series of the ITV2 reality show.
However, this isn't Lana's first brush with fame as she previously dated I'm A Celebrity star, Owen Warner.

Speaking about her relationship with the Hollyoaks actor, Lana said: "We had a lovely relationship. We had a bit of a lockdown relationship, so we spent a lot of time together.
"And then when we ended, we ended amicably, so I have nothing bad to say in terms of our relationship and the time that we spent together. I watched the (I'm A Celebrity) final and that was it because, obviously he got to the final, so that was amazing, and I thought I'd watch it out of support.
"But I just thought it's a bit weird to watch your ex for an hour on telly every evening, so I didn't bother. But I did send him a message when he got out and was like, 'Well done. That's amazing that you came runner up'. So it was nice."
Lana, who was an extra in sitcom Benidorm when she was six, also revealed that her work as a make-up artist to the stars means she has crossed paths with a number of famous faces including actress Michelle Keegan. She added that the former Coronation Street star "is an absolute dream to work with".
She said: "She is gorgeous. She's like a real-life Disney princess. She's such a amazing person inside and out."
The new islanders are set to enter the Love Island villa in South Africa tonight as new host Maya Jama takes over from Laura Whitmore, who announced she was stepping down in August. The new series is the show's first winter series since before the coronavirus pandemic.
Love Island returns on Monday January 16 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
