A former child star, Jenna was catapulted into the A list when Wednesday – viewed 252 million times and counting – launched in 2022.
And by her own refreshingly candid admission, that rapid rise to the top was overwhelming.
'To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person,' she told Harper's Bazaar in May.
'After the pressure, the attention – as somebody who's quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary.'

I think it's definitely a journey." Helen and Scott split in 2022 after being together for 13 years.

Love Island star says ‘see you on All Stars' to Harry and predicts he'll ‘hit up Helena' on the outside
Harry has already begun discussing Helena after leaving the villa next move? Love Island star says 'see you on All Stars' to Harry and predicts he'll 'hit up Helena' on the outside A LOVE Islander has already predicted one star from this year's cast will be signed up for All Stars and even make the moves on one of his co-stars. Former Islander, Olivia Hawkins, who has taken part in the show twice, has revealed that she does not see Harry and Shakira lasting on the outside - despite coming in second place.

Speaking to The Sun via Mecca Bingo following the show's final, Liv said: "Harry's lucky that he's in a couple with Shakira; she's carried him to the final. "It's annoying, but as a character, I still love him. I still predict we'll see Harry on All Stars in January. 'I don't think they'll last as a couple, but they'll stay good friends." Advertisement In a cheeky comment, Liv then added: "He'll probably hit up Helena again when he's out.' Olivia first appeared on series nine of Love Island in January 2023. She returned two years later for the second All Stars edition of the programme but failed to find love once again. Now, she is hoping to find a connection on E4's Celebs Go Dating. Advertisement In last night's Love Island final, Harry finished in second place alongside Shakira. They came second to Toni and Cach despite only growing close once again over the past week after Harry put a stop to his connection with Helena. Watch as Love Island winner Toni takes final swipe at villa ex Harrison before winning £50k However, within hours of leaving the villa, he was already discussing his former villa partner and expressed a desire to keep close with her. Speaking on The Morning After, the star said: "I think we were great friends and before she left, she said to me we can still be friends, which is a great thing for me." Advertisement Harry then continued: "It wasn't, like, there [with Helena]. "I think you feel it and I really tried to work on it and try to do the right things but this [with Shakira] was just so natural." 6 Liv has appeared on Love Island twice Credit: Rex 6 She thinks Harry could follow in her footsteps Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Advertisement In a very telling moment, Shakira then agreed with show host Amy Hart that Harry was likely influenced by his best mate Dejon to date Helena so that he was going out with someone in Meg's friendship group. The villa girls were famously divided this year and Shakira agreed with Amy's statement that Dejon didn't want Harry to date outside of their little group. Amy also pointed out how Dejon encouraged Harrison to get with Lauren as opposed to Toni, again to keep it in the same circle. In response, Harry said: "Yes, there is some truth to that. Advertisement "D would naturally want that. As a four [Dejon, Harry, Meg, Helena], we all got on really well. "But I would say it was across the villa - everyone kinda saw me and Helena, apart from Toni and Yas. "Everyone was rooting for us." 6 She is due to appear on the next series of Celebs Go Dating Credit: ©Nic Serpell-Rand 2024
