Lana Jenkins fought tears as her man Ron Hall was taken from her by bombshell Ellie Spence in a recoupling.
She has been seen sharing kisses with financial advisor Ron and looked heartbroken as Ellie went for Ron when she had the first pick of the boys on Thursday (26.01.23) night’s episode of ‘Love Island’.
Before Ellie made her pick, she appeared to take a dig at Lana by saying Ron had not yet “met his match”.
She told her fellow contestants about Ron: “I don’t think he’s met his match yet and I’m really looking forward to getting to know him better.”
Ellie added before choosing Ron: "I’ve decided to couple up with this boy because from what I’ve seen so far he seems really funny.
"He’s handsome, I don’t think he’s met his match yet and I’m really looking forward to getting to know him better."
Ellie was the only girl who was able to choose a male partner, as a new arrival, with the boys left to do the rest of the picking.
Lana later said: “I was really excited when I got the recoupling text because I thought I’d get to be back in Ron’s bed and we could have nice chats and sail off into the sunset.
“That’s obviously not how it’s gone for me, I can’t catch a break.“
She also looked visibly upset as she was forced to couple up with Australian bombshell Aaron Waters.
He urged her to keep her head up, adding: “(The show is) a marathon not a sprint.”
Lana later admitted she was not feeling “too great” after Ellie’s “savage” comment about Ron not having met his match.
She and Ron had been kissing despite being in different couples, with Lana in a friendly couple with farmer Will Young, while Ron was coupled with Tanyel Revan.
‘Love Island’ continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX and can be seen in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.
