Love Island girls’ famous exes revealed – from Owen Warner to rapper and former villa star
LOVE Island’s cast might be on the fast-track to fame – but for many it’s not their first brush with celebrity.
Several of the girls have already has relationships with big names, as we learnt on Monday night’s show.
Stars were asked to drink if they’d ever dated a celeb – and the answers were very interesting indeed…
Lana Jenkins
As Lana revealed on Love Island last night, she had a lockdown romance with I’m A Celeb’s Owen Warner.
The news emerged during a round of the game Never Have I Ever where the Islanders were asked to spill their celebrity romances (but not their drinks).
Speaking about the Hollyoaks hunk, Lana, 25, 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 about our relationship and the time we spent together.”
Money advisor Ron Hall, also 25, who Lana is coupled up with, seemed less impressed.
He complained: “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.”
Tanya Manhenga
Tanya said she’d dated a famous footballer – who she didn’t name – and a rapper – who she instantly did.
After drinking during the game, the 22-year-old science student elaborated just a little.
She said: “Mine was a footballer and then the other one was a rapper. It was Not3s.”
The 24-year-old Londoner’s real name is Lukman Olanrewaju Odunaike but is best known as Not3s – pronounced ‘Notes’.
His song Addison Lee (Peng Ting Called Maddison) was released in 2016 and became a viral hit.
Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown
With the best will in the world you are not likely to call this ‘dating a celeb’ – but Zara, 25, still drank.
She told the assembled stars: “I’ve got in with an athlete before… a famous athlete. I’ve kissed Usain Bolt.”
Bolt, of course, is a legendary Jamaican sprinter who was so fast he once ran at a speed just shy of 28mph.
Ron was first out of the blocks with the obvious joke, asking: “Did it finish quick?”
Olivia Hawkins
Former Bond girl Olivia has appeared opposite Daniel Craig and acted alongside Jason Statham.
However, she once went on a date with someone much closer to the show – Jack Fowler.
She was seen on a speed-date with the lad, who appeared in the 2018 series of the show, which was won by Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham.
During the speed dates, Olivia, 27, revealed she was a keen dancer, laid back and enjoyed partying in Brighton.
She also chatted to Chunkz, Yung Filly and Harry Pinero on Footasylum’s Does The Shoe Fit?

Warner Bros. Discovery says it’s done killing shows and movies just for tax write-offs
Just last month, Warner Bros. Discovery followed up on its decision to cancel Westworld by full-on yanking the show from HBO Max — a drastic, money-saving decision that was yet another part of CEO David Zaslav’s grand plan to get the company back in the black. Now, though, Warner Bros. Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels says the entertainment conglomerate is getting ready to shift gears and put more of its energies into creating new things rather than tearing apart what already exists.
Speaking at Citibank’s annual Communications, Media & Entertainment Conference today, Wiedenfels was adamant about 2023 being a year of “relaunching and building,” Variety reports. Wiedenfels said that Warner Bros. Discovery felt the need to take “a little…
