There's just days to go until we find out who wins the Winter 2023 series of Love Island - and Lana Jenkins appears to be the frontrunner, if the bookies are to be right. Research has looked at all ten series of the main editions of the show to work out the recipe for success for this year’s series.
According to the analysis, hair colour, occupation and the week entering the villa can all have a huge impact on the outcome. It also looked at several variables, such as average age and profession of previous winners, as well as the number of partners and Casa Amor betrayals.
With all the variables having been studied, 25-year-old Lana has been tipped as the most likely to win. That's thanks to her age, entering the villa during the first week, and her job as a makeup artist.
According to the stats from Paddy Power Games, this makes her the perfect winner on paper. And it seems to be proving right, with Lana still sitting safe during the last tumultuous week of the show.
However, with only four out of twenty previous winners being blonde, brunettes stand the best chance of winning the competition. Therefore, Lana should make sure she stays coupled up with Ron until the very end, as he’s not only brunette, but fits the predicted winner profile of having an office job and staying loyal to his partner during Casa Amor.
A Paddy Power Games spokesman said: “Looking back at previous seasons, Lana Jenkins matches the winners almost perfectly, and whilst her blonde hair does put her at a slight disadvantage, historically speaking, that’s nothing a bit of hair dye can’t fix. With Ron at her side, the two are almost the perfect winners, which is why we’re putting all our eggs in their basket”.
Tonight on Love Island, the infamous baby challenge returns as five brand new arrivals are making their way into the villa to wreak havoc for the Islanders. The contestants wake up to the sound of five babies crying in the Villa as they head down to meet their bundles of joy.
Love Island returns to ITV2 and ITX tonight at 9pm.
