After weeks of speculation that he could be returning to the show, Love Island viewers finally saw winter Love Island 2023 finalist Ron Hall slo-mo strut into the All Stars 2025 villa alongside fellow bombshell Grace Jackson at the end of last night’s show.
While we’ll have to wait to see how his second stint in the villa will play out, if it’s anything like his original series then we’re in for some seriously entertaining viewing.
During his winter of love in Cape Town two years ago, Ron coupled up with Lana Jenkins, formed a firm friendship with eventual winner Kai Fagan and was involved in a fair few clashes with the likes of Casey O’Gorman and Will Young.
As he returns to the villa, here’s everything you need to know about Ron…
Who is Ron Hall?
Ron rose to fame on the winter 2023 series of Love Island. He entered the villa on day one and made it all the way to the final, where he finished in second place alongside Lana Jenkins. He's now back in the villa for a second shot at love on the second series of All Stars.
How old is Ron Hall?
Born on 27 August 1997, Ron is currently 27 years old. Oh, and that makes him a Virgo in case you were wondering.
Where is Ron Hall from?
Ron is from Essex.
Why did Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins split?
Although they finished as runners-up on winter Love Island, Ron and Lana only lasted three months in the outside world before they split. Some reports claimed that distance was the reason for the breakup as Ron is based in Essex while Lana lives in Manchester, while others said the pair went through "huge rows" before deciding to split.
When asked why he split from Lana, Ron previously told The Sun, 'That's a good question, I think it was for multiple reasons. The world is a bit nuts, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and if it was in another world it might have worked.'
What happened between Ron Hall and Lydia Karakyriakou?
Lana isn't the only winter 2023 Islander that Ron has dated as he seemingly revealed he was dating Casa Amor bombshell Lydia Karakyriakou last November. He shared a series of snaps from a Virgin Voyages cruise, one of which featured him and Lydia look very cosy, which led to close pal Kai commenting, 'Omg finally a soft launch, so happy you and @lydiakarax have gone official 🙌👏🔥.'
Their romance didn't last long, however, as they reportedly split just before this year's All Stars line-up was announced, which is... very convenient timing.
Are Ron Hall and Will Young still friends?
They both entered the winter 2023 villa as OG boys and spent a lot of time together, but Ron and Will fell out shortly after they returned to the outside world. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Will had unfollowed Ron, Casey and Tom Clare after they all went on a night out without him, but he later revealed it all started when Ron removed him from their group chat.
'They had their dinner and from what I saw on their Stories had a couple of drinks, had a good time and then later that night Ron [Hall] removed me from the group chat,' Will exclusively told heatworld back in August 2023.
'I was really confused but I sat back and thought, you've got four people sat at a table, a conversation about me would have happened, I don't know what is it, so although Ron removed me I think it was a whole group situation.'
He added, 'Not one of them have messaged me or added me back into the group chat. So I thought, do you know what? I don't want the stress in my life, so I unfollowed them. That's basically what happened.'
How tall is Ron Hall?
The winter Love Island 2023 boys were some of the tallest Islanders we've ever seen walk into the villa, with the likes of Shaq Muhammad, Tom Clare and Kai Fagan all coming in at well over 6ft. So much so, that we were convinced that Ron Hall was on the shorter side.
However, Ron later clarified that he's actually 6ft1. 'This a great question because I've seen rumours of people thinking I'm small and 5ft11. I'm 6ft1, it's just that I'm stood next to people who are like 6ft4 and 6ft5 – but I'm tall,' he explained when a fan asked him about his height during an Instagram Q&A back in 2023.
Does Ron Hall have different coloured eyes?
Yes, he he has one green eye and one blue eye.
Ron opened up about his eyes before his first stint in the villa, saying, 'On meeting me, you’d never know I am blind in one eye. It was the result of a football injury when I was 8; I went in for a header and got kicked in the face.
'I’ve got two different coloured eyes, one blue and one green. It’s added to my character, there are so many people that are worse off than me. And if anything, losing something like that makes you realise that. It’s not hindered me in any shape or form. It’s a good conversation starter I must admit.'
What is Ron Hall's job?
Before entering the villa, Ron worked as a financial advisor. These days, he's somewhat of an influencer type and also hosts a podcast called I'm Right He's Wrong! with villa pal Tanyel Revan.
Does Ron Hall have Instagram?
Yes, Ron does have Instagram, it is @ronhall__.
