Love Island's Lana Jenkins makes a thinly-veiled dig at ex Ron Hall as he quits All Stars after struggling to find a connection on the show

Love Island star Lana Jenkins appeared to take a subtle dig at ex Ron Hall after his unexpected exit from All Stars.

The pair, who met during the second season of the winter series, finished as runners-up but split just three months after leaving the villa.

Ron returned to the franchise for another shot at love as a bombshell but struggled to find any connection.

During Monday night's episode, he shocked the villa by deciding to leave, admitting he didn't see himself finding love while in the villa.

Lana appeared to note his departure by sharing a picture of herself enjoying a drink in the bar.

In the caption, she simply wrote: 'The Bar' alongside an emoji chart rising off the page, and a winky face.

Fans took to the comments and said that it appeared to be a swipe at Ron, with them sharing their thoughts: 'Personally, I don’t see this as Lana digging at Ron. I see this as she’s saying - she’s the bar, she’s the high standard, she raised his bar and she’s still up there with those same standards. Clever,'

'The obsession with him,'

'I Don't think there's any need for digs Ron's a good fella,'

'Ron was waiting for you to be a bombshell for him,'

'Another Ron dig,'

'The bar was set too high.' 

It comes after fans were left cringing after claiming the villa residents were not fazed to see Ron quit the show.

The 27-year-old said his goodbyes after failing to find a connection but his farewell was miles apart from Scott Thomas' emotional exit just 24-hours earlier.

After Ron told Luca Bish, 25, his decision he informed the villa and was told he'd be missed and swiftly waved off, while Scott was tearfully begged to stay.

Taking to X fans said: 'The Islanders were way too happy to hear that Ron was leaving; 'Watching the men pretend to care about Ron leaving'; 'Ron wanted the same commotion everyone gave Scott for leaving and instead all her got was "goodbye" and "you'll be missed";

'It's so funny how nobody cares Ron is leaving'; 'Thought Ron left weeks ago'; 'Wait why did Ron pull Luca to tell him he was leaving... that man did not give a f*** plus they are not even close like that'.

Ron paired up with Danielle Sellers during the latest recouping, but the pair struggled to find a spark.

A source previously told The Sun: 'Ron was the centre of attention on his series, with multiple girls vying for his attention and with Lana always there for him to return to.

'It was a bit of a rude awakening for him this time round as he just couldn’t find a single spark.

'He realised he wasn’t likely to find that connection now and had grown tired of watching the front door for bombshells that might be for him.'

The insider went on to add that the villa is a 'tough place' to be while single, noting that with all the 'loved up' couples around, Ron decided now was the time to 'check out'.

Ron was initially paired up with Kaz Crossley, who soon had her head turned by newcomer Montel McKenzie.

He was then 'stolen' by bombshell Harriett Blackmore, before later admitting that he didn't fancy her.

The most recently recoupling saw Ron pick new girl Danielle Sellers, who had previously picked Curtis Pritchard after they formed a connection.

However, in a big twist amid their break-up, Curtis chose to stick by Ekin-Su, leaving Ron with no choice but to pick Danielle.

It comes after Scott ,36, announced he was leaving the villa and going home during Sunday night's episode, following an explosive row with Elma Pazar and Tina Stinnes.

In a dramatic move that has left the villa in shock, Scott packed his bags and left the ITV show after deciding it 'wasn't for him' and struggling to find a genuine connection with Tina and axed islander India Reynolds.

Pulling Luca Bish over to the fire pit first he said: 'I just wanted to let you know first. I can't force connections and I feel like I've come here and done everything I wanted to do. I just have to be true to myself.'

Telling the rest of the islanders, he said: 'I don't want this to be sad guys because I've had the best time ever but I've made the decision to leave.

'I've had the best time ever. Every single one of you is amazing.

The hunk, who first appeared on series two, was in a couple with Tina, 29, but after recently having doubts, Scott called time on the relationship.

Elma locked horns with Scott after he called things off with Tina, admitting he should 'leave the villa' and 'go' because 'nothing was here for him'.

Earlier in the week, Elma and Luca Bish were given the tough decision to save Tina for Scott meaning Kaz Crossley, Naz Majeed and Montel Mckenzie were sent packing.

In recent episodes, fans have watched Scott become confused about his relationship with Tina, as he struggled to grasp whether she was 'the one' or not.

A recent outburst saw him lock horns with Luca after the fishmonger explosively told the whole villa that he was questioning his coupling with the blonde beauty.

Love Island: All Stars continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
