Love Island’s Ron Hall has insisted the ‘book is closed’ with his former love interest Lana Jenkins, after she picked Casey O’Gorman in the latest recoupling.
Now back in a friendship couple with Tanyel Revan, the financial adviser, 25, headed off into the garden to discuss how he’s feeling during Monday’s episode.
Ron said: ‘That book’s closed, I’m going to let them be happy. When you speak to her just say it’s fine, I don’t need to talk to her.
‘I don’t want to talk to her tonight, I will deal with it in my own way.’
Elsewhere, Lana caught up with Ellie Spence, Jessie Wynter and Olivia Hawkins. She asked: ‘Did I shock you?’

Olivia replied: ‘I’m shocked, you left me on edge. I just want to say I’m so proud of you and whatever makes you happy, makes me over the moon.’
Lana continued: ‘I just think why shouldn’t I give Casey a chance, he’s not done anything wrong. I’m not closing any doors right now, all I’m doing is giving Casey more time. People’s actions after things like this say a lot.’
Ron then pulled Casey for a chat. But it remains to be seen what he will have to say about the latest fire pit.
At another point, Ron pulled Lana for a chat after sleeping on his thoughts.
While Lana confessed: ‘I don’t like upsetting you,’ Ron replied: ‘I know you don’t.’
Lana said: ‘I was thinking can I forgive because after I’ve had so many days upset about something.’
Ron said: ‘I feel like him being here for four days has superseded how we felt.’
Lana asked: ‘Did you deserve for me to couple up with you?’

Elsewhere, couple Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga headed to the snug to cosy up.
Speaking about her re-coupling speech, Shaq told Tanya: ‘You said a lot of stuff that really touched my heart. Honestly, you touched my heart.
‘Do you know what touched my heart the most out of the whole thing? You saying that you couldn’t do outside life without me.’

If Tanya says she feels the same, it will be the next step for the pair.
