‘Love Island’ star Lana Jenkins says it would have been “weird” to watch her ex Owen Warner every night on 'I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'.
Lana Jenkins didn't watch her ex Owen Warner on I'm A Celebrity
The 25-year-old makeup artist has confessed she didn't tune into the ITV1 reality show on a regular basis last year to see the ‘Hollyoaks’ star, 23, and she feels he might do the same as she gears up to enter the ITV2 dating show’s iconic villa.
Lana said: "I watched the last one and that was it. He got to the final and that was amazing but I thought it was a bit weird to watch your ex for an hour every night on telly. It's just a bit weird."
The star did keep it “nice” by dropping him a congratulatory text after he finished second on the show, behind retired footballer Jill Scott.
Lana said: “I did send him a message when he got out and said, 'Well done, that's amazing that you came runner-up.' It was nice."
The upcoming 'Love Island' contestant - who will appear on the show when it returns on Monday (16.01.23), when Maya Jama will also make her debut as the programme's new presenter - hopes Owen will be “supportive” of her time on the series.
Lana is quoted by the Daily Mail newspaper as saying: “I don't know what he'll think but I hope he'll be supportive. He probably won't watch it because I wouldn't watch it if he was on there, but hopefully he'll be supportive of it.
“We have quite a lot of mutual friends so I don't know if he'd have heard from anyone but I definitely just left it. He'll find out when he sees it."
Lana - who dated Owen after his split from his 'Oaks' co-star Stephanie Davis - revealed their break up was “amicable”.
She 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.”
