Michelle Keegan has confirmed that makeup artist Lana Jenkins will be appearing on this winter’s Love Island.
Lana isn’t the only friend of the Brassic star who will be in South Africa in the coming weeks; one of Michelle’s body doubles, Olivia Hawkins, is also on the bill this year.
Michelle, 35, praised Laura ahead of the start of Love Island next week, stating, ‘So our lady is heading into Love Island. One of the sweetest girls you’ll ever meet.’
Along with Lana’s official Love Island candidate portrait, she wrote on Instagram, ‘Go and smash it darlin’.
Lana, 25, is from Luton and has previously admitted to ‘falling in love rapidly,’ telling people she loves them within a week.
She said: ‘I tend to know quite soon if I could fall in love with that person and then, as long as everything is going well, I’ll probably tell them I love them in about a week.’

However, Lana warned that the men in the villa had better watch their step, saying: ‘If I see a guy trip over, that’s an instant turn off.’
Lana may be recognisable to those who remember her as an extra in Benidorm when she was six years old.
Meanwhile, Michelle’s former body double, 27-year-old Olivia, will compete for the title of show champion this year.
Olivia has previously worked as a body double for both Michelle and Emma Watson, as well as as a ring girl for KSI and as a waiter in a James Bond film.
Olivia, who lives in Brighton, said she plans to bring ‘ ‘Fun vibes and maybe a little bit of drama. I’m a very confident, bubbly person.’
She also stated that she is’ready to settle down’ despite never been in a relationship, and that she is now looking for the love of her life.
