Inside Love Island's Lana's lockdown romance with Owen Warner who 'broke her heart'

Love Island got even more juicy last night as contestants revealed their romantic links with celebrities - including Lana's lockdown fling with I'm A Celebrity star Owen Warner.

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 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.

Introducing herself in a clip for Love Island, Lana revealed she has been single for two-and-a-half years, hinting her last romance could have been with Owen.

Speaking before she entered the villa, Lana 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.

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

When asked how her exes would react to her being on the show while speaking to a group of journalists she spilled: "I think everyone will be shocked that I've not told – all [my] exes.

"If any of my exes went on I'd be shocked so I think it would work the other way around."

She added: "It's not a normal thing for your ex to be going on Love Island and it's such a strange concept but hopefully they will all be happy for me."
