Love Island star Ron Hall gets candid about 'strange' life after the villa

Ron found love on the show with Lana Jenkins

Author: Charlotte RoszkoPublished 24th Apr 2023

Love Island star Ron Hall has opened up about life after the Love Island villa. The 25-year-old found love with Lana Jenkins on season 9 of the hit ITV2 show, with the couple finishing in second place behind winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan.

Now, Ron has spoken openly about his life after the show in a YouTube video, where he talked about the 'whole new world' of opportunities and experiences that post-villa life has offered him.

In a video titled 'Life after the villa and what now?!' Ron said: "I think if people had told me last year 'You would be making a YouTube channel', I would have told them they were nutters, but here I am.

"What is this whole new world? And frankly, I don't know what to call it, because I don't have a lot of care for it. I'm still a normal bloke, but people just kind of recognise me, which is a weird feeling."

He continued: "I walk to a shop or go fill up my car, I go on a night out and you guys show so much love. It is so weird, I find it so strange, but I do kind of love it."

Ron also went on to say he has 'taken control' of his life more after leaving the villa, explaining that he can now choose when to eat, sleep and 'put a top on.' He continued: "A bit of honesty about this whole new life, I almost feel unemployed. But 24/7 working, your brain doesn't switch off.

"Anyone who has tried to for me, I guess this is my new job or life now, your brain has to constantly think of ideas. And I am not that creative, my brain does not work that way, so it's hard, and that is why I feel I need to reach you lot to tell me what to do or what you want to see."

He then told fans what they can expect to see on his YouTube channel and across his social media platforms - including content on his love of sports such as golf and boxing as well as speaking out and being an advocate for disabled people.

Ron explained that, as someone who has lost sight in one eye, he hopes to speak about living with a disability as well as mental health. As a financial advisor, he also aims to share money tips and advice, as well as content with his girlfriend, Lana.
