Love Island's Lana Jenkins tipped to win ITV2 show - and here's why

Maya Jama made sure to ask all of the questions fans have been asking at the Love Island Reunion on Sunday, with the TV presenter even grilling Jessie Wynter about her lack of tears when crying. Maya, 28, was joined by every Islander from the 2023 winter edition of ITV2 show to reflect on the series, which saw Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan crowned winners.

Love Island fans were left making the same complaint as they watched Maya Jama return to screens as she was joined by this year's string of islanders and bombshell contestants to get all the gossip just days after the final of the second-ever winter series.

Love Island stars Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins have publicly addressed claims they were embroiled in a row on their plane home from the villa, just days after the show drew to it’s dramatic conclusion. Last week, the couple, both 25, finished the ITV series in second place behind show winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan - however, the pair were soon hit with feud rumours, as it was claimed that the couple exchanged tense words on the flight home.

Love Island stars Tom Clare and Samie Elishi have been getting to know each other outside of villa life - with one of their first stops being Tom’s football club.The star, 23, got special permission to temporarily leave his club Macclesfield FC, where he plays as a forward, mid-season in order to enter the South African villa.Two months later, Tom is now back on his home pitch, this time with his new love Samie, 23, by his side, as the couple test their relationship outside the confines of the ITV reality show.The pair took to Instagram to share photos and videos of their day as they sat in the stands and watched a training session. Tom took Samie on a tour of the grounds and they later posed for a sweet photo together, with Samie saying how much she’d loved seeing her beau at his day job.

It's barely been 24 hours since the winners of Winter Love Island 2023 were announced by the final voting figures are in - and it appears Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan were always going to be crowned the winners of the ninth series, but only the second-ever winter run.

Love Island's Olivia Hawkins has been seen for the first time since her ex from the show, Kai Fagan, won with his new partner, Sanam Harrinanan. Olivia, who was left fuming when Kai decided to recouple with Sanam in Casa Amor, looked unfazed by their win as she beamed following a late night of partying for the Love Island final in the UK, although the actual final was filmed in South Africa.The 27 year old beamed as she looked fresh-faced despite the late night in a full face of makeup with bronzed cheeks and a slick of gloss, whilst her hair was slicked back into her trademark high ponytail.

Love Island fans were left confused during Monday's final as Ron Hall discussed his future with Lana Jenkins. The couple, whose romance started off rocky in the ITV2 villa, finished in second place during the last instalment of the winter 2023 series - with Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan crowned the winners.

Before it was revealed they'd won Love Island, Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan sat down for a live interview with presenter Maya Jama to look back at their best bits. Sanam, 24, and Kai, also 24, discussed their initial attraction to one another during the Casa Amor twist and revealed their plans for after the show, and Sanam accidentally revealed she loves Kai, leaving the pair in fits of giggles.

Love Island presenter Maya Jama was the talk of Twitter on Monday as fans clasped eyes on her liquid-look burgundy dress. Back in South Africa for the dating phenomenon's grand finale, the 28 year old was joined by this year's four remaining hopefuls live on TV: Tom Clare and Sami Elishi, Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga, Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins, and Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan. Despite the evening wind doing a bit of a number on her hair, Maya was showered with compliments over on the social media platform, as two fans wrote: "Obsessed with @MayaJama's look this final!!" and "Maya Jama is about to look the best anyone has ever looked tonight".

Another season of Love Island is set to draw to a close on 13 January, with the 2023 winter series coming to an end after a long eight weeks. Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins, Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, Tom Clare and Samie Elishi and Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad all made it to the final, with the winning couple set to be announced live in South Africa by host Maya Jama.

Love Island fans have cheekily suggested a new pair on the show have 'more chemistry than one of the winter series' final couples and have also spotted a potential future islander in the penultimate episode. The current run of the ITV2 dating show will come to an end on Monday night (March 13).

Love Island star Lana Jenkins' mum has issued a stern warning to Lana's beau Ron Hall, ahead of meeting him face-to-face in the Love Island villa.The meet-the-parents episode is one of Love Islands most iconic parts, as the Islanders near the final, and their parents, families and friends enter the villa to meet their partners. The Islanders' loved-ones have flown out all the way to South Africa, which is where the winter season is filmed, rather than Majorca, where the show is filmed in summer. Lana's mum Rachel, 50, a script advisor on Hollyoaks, will be seeing her daughter in the flesh for the first time in eight weeks, whilst she will also get the opportunity to meet Ron, 25.

Love Island star Casey O'Gorman has sparked rumours of a feud between him and a handful of his co-stars after failing to follow them on Instagram. Days after Casey, 26, who was recently dumped from the South African villa alongside bombshell Rosie Seabrook, 24, was given his phone back, the star followed his love interest Rosie as well as contestants Tom Clare, Will Young, Olivia Hawkins and former flame Claudia Fogarty.The star also followed Casa Amor bombshells Spencer Wilks, Ellie Spence, Keanan Brand, Maxwell Samuda and Jordan Odofin.

The Love Island boys won’t speak to each other outside of the villa in the real world, a body language expert has claimed.

Tom Clare and Samie Elishi have been dubbed as this year’s favourites to win Love Island.The loved-up pair both came in as bombshells on the current series of the popular reality TV show and struck up a romance with one another. It’s been a turbulent time for the duo, with Samie almost calling it quits with Tom following the villa’s infamous Movie Night.They went on to patch things up however, and are now being eyed up as this year’s favourites to be crowned winners.

Love Island fans were left in stitches after tuning in to watch Unseen Bits on Saturday night, with many seeing a different side to the Islanders. The latest episode of Unseen Bits, which features clips from inside the villa that didn't make it into the main show, aired on 4 March and one Islander stood out to TV viewers.
