Owen Warner identified as Love Island star Lana Jenkins' ex as fans find 'proof' online

Owen Warner has been 'unmasked' as Love Island star Lana Jenkins famous ex boyfriend, leaving her on screen flame Ron Hall in a state of shock and worrying how he'll 'compete' with the I'm A Celebrity star.

And, just minutes after Lana had let the cat out of the ag during Monday's episode, a photo of her together with Owen, the actor famous for playing Romeo in Hollyoaks, started doing the rounds on social media.

The mystery over who was Lana's famous ex started during a game of Never Have I Ever as the Love Island contestants got to know Aussie bombshells a bit better. One of the questions was had any of them 'got with' a celebrity, with Zara being very forthcoming about once kissing 100m icon Usain Bolt, and Tanya revealing she'd dated a footballer and rapper Not3s.

Lana wouldn't divulge name when she owned up to it, only saying her ex was 'an actor,' however, that wasn't enough for Ron and, as the two had a chat away from the group, he put Lana on the spot.

And, when she finally confirmed it was Owen she was referring to, Ron reacted: "So basically I’m competing with someone who's just come runner-up on a massive show and who’s an actor and I work in finance, yeah, erm, sick. This is great.”

In the immediate aftermath of Lana talking about Owen, who finished second to Jill Scott on I'm A Celebrity last year, someone shared a photo of them together on Twitter, which quickly got a big reaction from fans as others were quick to voice their opinions on social media.

One Love Island fan joked: "Is “Owen Warner is my ex boyfriend” the new “Danny Dyer/Michael Owen is my dad” ?" with another tweeting: "OWEN WARNER AND LANA ???? iconic"
