Love Island’s Lana Jenkins looks unrecognisable in unseen throwback pictures
LOVE Island fans might struggle to recognise Lana Jenkins in these sweet throwback snaps.
Lana’s mum, Hollyoaks script supervisor Rachel Jenkins, shared the shots on social media to mark her brother’s birthday.
In one photograph, Lana is wearing a pretty white top and has her hair pulled back into a low bun.
She is grinning at the camera and sitting alongside her uncle and another young girl, believed to be her sister.
The make-up artist, who is coupled up with Ron Hall in the villa, is captured in another while pulling a funny face after trying a red drink.
In a third and more formal image, Lana is posing in a beige dress while her long blonde hair flows around her shoulders.
Lara was among the original lineup when the winter series of Love Island got underway in January.
She coupled up with financial advisor Ron on the first day and, despite a few bumps in the road, they are hanging on in there as an item.
But the past couple of days have been tough on them both.
In Monday night’s episode, Lana was shown in tears on more than one occasion.
It came after her boyfriend Ron fell out with his friend Casey O’Gorman, and Rosie Seabrook and Samie Elishi.
Ron soon felt like the entire villa had turned on him as they accused him of game playing with Lana to win the show.
The bad atmosphere left Lana feeling gutted as she struggled to work out why everyone was hating on her man.
After crying several times, the girls – including Rosie and Samie – surprised her with a ‘girlie breakfast’.
But the scenes only left Love Island fans fuming, as they accused the female cohort in the villa of “gaslighting” Lana.
Love Island continues at 9pm, ITV1/ ITVX, Tuesday March 7
