I can’t believe I’m saying this already – but tonight’s the night! Happy winter Love Island day to all who celebrate. I’m just going to throw it out there; this year’s winter Islanders entering the villa look set to be the most iconic yet. Among them is 25-year-old Lana Jenkins, a makeup artist with real sweetheart vibes a la Tasha Ghouri and Liberty Poole.

She’s quick to fall in love, she’s bilingual and she’d get Margot Robbie to play her in a film about her life. Here’s absolutely everything you need to know about Lana.

…But that’s not all! A woman of many talents, Lana has also appeared on Benidorm as an extra – having lived in Spain at the age of six and being able to speak fluent Spanish. As a makeup artist, she’s worked with “lots of celebrities,” which she says is her “clame to fame.”

Lana’s been single for a few years, which is why she’s chosen this year to finally find love. “Now’s the right time to be doing something a bit different,” she said. “I’ve not been able to find someone who suits me so it’s good to be doing something totally different and try to meet someone a different way.”

Seriously, do not do these things if you ever want a chance with Lana. “I don’t mind people texting me all the time,” she said. “But if you send me question marks if I’ve not replied to you in a while, you’re gone. That’s a really big red flag for me!

“Also if I see a guy trip over, that’s an instant turn-off.” Same, Lana. Same.

Her most recent date ended in absolute horror

As a self-professed “picky” dater, it takes a lot to impress Lana. Which is why, when her last date went horrendously, she left early and never spoke to him again.

“He was absolutely drop-dead gorgeous,” she said. “Ten-out-of-ten and my perfect type – so I was really excited to meet him. When I arrived he literally took me to a bar next door to his flat and hadn’t made much effort… all he did was talk about himself and his work. Then he took a phone call for 20 minutes and didn’t even apologise!

“I then said, ‘oh I’m going to have to go’ and then he went, ‘see ya later.”
