I'm A Celebrity 2022 contestant Owen Warner's age, romantic history and Hollyoaks future as he enters the jungle

Hollyoaks' Owen Warner is one of two soap stars entering the jungle this year on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! He joins Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver, who you can read more about here.

For the soap star, the opportunity to take part in the ITV reality show is something of a dream come true. He said before going in: “If someone is out of order, then I will say something. But I don’t want it to cause any tension and hopefully they will stop. I don’t think I will cry either in the jungle but then again I cry at most films and sometimes even new food!"

But how old is Owen, who are his former flames and what's happening to his character in Hollyoaks whilst he appears in the jungle? Read on for all of the answers.

How old is Owen Warner?

Owen, who is best known for his role as Romeo in Channel 4's Hollyoaks, is only 23 years old. He went to Gartree High School in Leicester, England, before going on to study performing arts at SMB College Group's Melton Campus, formerly Brooksby Melton College, completing his studies in July 2017.

He studied acting at the Actors Workshop Nottingham before making his debut in 2015 as Trev in the short film Beverley.

Who has he previously been in a relationship with?

Despite only being 23, Owen has his fair share of ex-girlfriends. Ahead of entering the jungle, he is currently single.

He dated his Hollyoaks co-star Stephanie Davis for nine months before they parted ways back in September 2019. The pair first started dating in December 2018, shortly after Stephanie returned to the long-running Channel 4 soap following a three-year absence.

Owen also had a whirlwind romance with Geordie Shore's Chloe Ferry in May 2021. The romance was short-lived, however, after The Sun reported that Owen was sliding into the Instagram DMs of OnlyFans model Apollonia Llewellyn, just days before he went public with Chloe.

A source told the publication: "They met when she was an extra on Hollyoaks. Owen had his eye on Apollonia as soon as he saw her on the set of Hollyoaks and slid right into her DMs. He has been desperate to get her to go on a date with him and was trying to pin her down in late April and early May. They made plans a few times but the weather and work got in the way.

"Chloe clearly has no idea what he was up to before going official with her and has been telling everyone how into him she is."

After his break-up with long-term girlfriend Stephanie, Owen also found love with celebrity make-up artist Lana Jenkins after being introduced through mutual friends. Lana works on CBBC's So Awkward and is good friends with the Hollyoaks cast. The romance lasted mere months.

Then, weeks after his split from Lana, Owen went on to date The Apprentice's Camilla Ainsworth, going public with their romance at the start of 2021. However, the romance was short-lived and the pair split after getting into rows in May 2021.

Is Owen leaving Hollyoaks?

Much like I'm A Celebrity co-star Sue Cleaver in Coronation Street, Owen will be taking a temporary exit from Hollyoaks whilst he's in the jungle.

"[Romeo] has been written out whilst I take part in the programme," Owen told ITV ahead of the I’m A Celeb series premiere. "He has gone to Spain for a little bit. I am excited for people to get to know me as a person and not a character. People are so used to seeing me recite lines that have been written for me, and most of them are not what I would say myself."

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! airs at 9pm on ITV on Sunday, November 6. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
