It’s been a chaotic first week in the villa but Love Islandbosses are keeping the drama coming on All Stars 2025 by sending two more bombshells into the villa. Last night, it was revealed that Love Island 2024’s Grace Jackson and winter Love Island 2023’s Ron Hall would be slo-mo strutting into the villa after weeks of rumours.
Viewers took to social media to share their thoughts on the new arrivals and we couldn’t help but notice that Ron’s show ex, Lana Jenkins, had something to say too.
Now, it’s awkward seeing one of your exes at the best of times, let alone having to watch them on TV every night, so we kinda get where Lana is coming from – plus we get the vibe that Lana didn’t know Ron would be turning up in Cape Town, despite all those rumours.
Immediately after it was revealed that Ron was one of the latest bombshells, Lana took to her Instagram story to share a picture of herself with her head in her hands.
The snap was captioned with the words, ‘Stop it right now.’
Brutal.
Ron and Lana first met when they were OGs on the winter series of Love Island at the start of 2023. They coupled up on day one but faced a few bumps in the road, including Casey O’Gorman bombshelling his way into the villa and making a play for Lana.
In the end though, Ron and Lana managed to get back on track and finished the series as runners-up behind Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan.
But their relationship only lasted three months in the outside world and Ron later admitted that their breakup had ‘destroyed’ him.
‘It was my first proper relationship, it was hard, it completely destroyed me,’ he told The Sun.
‘It's a shock to anyone, I needed to learn to focus on me and love myself a bit more. At some point I will be back on the market, but right now I'm just doing me and just living my single life, trying to float.’
Ron on went on to date fellow winter 2023 Islander Lydia Karakyriakou, but they reportedly split at the end of last year.
