But now, in a Q&A with her Instagram followers, the blonde beauty has said she was just after a free holiday.
A fan asked Lana: 'What surprised you the most about your time in the villa?'
To which she replied: 'How hard work it was,' followed by a string of laughing emojis.
She went on: 'I was just after a free holiday and a cheeky flirt.'
Lana's comments come as a very dramatic Casa Amor recoupling hit the villa on Wednesday night.
The makeup artist, 27, has stayed in the spotlight since leaving the villa - and recently showed off the results of her new boob job.
Lana posed in the tiny top and matching bike shorts outside a gym while wearing a cafe coloured headband and tortoiseshell glasses.
She shared the photos to Instagram, including a pic of her posing happily in a polaroid and pouting to the camera while sitting in a car.
"From today," she captioned the post.
Love Island's Lana Jenkins strips off to see-through underwear to show off secret boob job after split with Ron
Lana announced she'd had breast surgery during a Get Ready With Me TikTok video filmed in Sydney, Australia, in February.
"I will address my boobs," she said. "Yes, I have had my boobs done. For myself and myself only. I will talk about it in due course."
In a later video, Lana explained how the process had been a long time coming.
She explained: "Not only did I feel small chested but I also felt one boob was bigger than the other. That is actually due to my spine, believe it or not.
"I have a condition called scoliosis, which is when your spine isn't straight. You probably won't be able to tell because mine is mild, but I can tell, I can see it.
She then explained how it is normal and natural to have one boob bigger than the other, but she felt hers was more noticeable than average.
Lana first booked to have surgery three years ago and revealed she began thinking of having a boob job 10 years ago.
She postponed her first booked surgery after getting a new job and then Love Island pushed it back further.
Lana said: "In life you do have to do things that make you happy and this is something I wanted to do."
The reality TV beauty split from her Love Island partner Ron Hall three months after last year's winter edition of the show.
The couple blamed distance and their busy schedules for the split, but maintain they are still good friends.

Lindsay Lohan comes full circle with 'Freakier Friday'
LONDON, July 31 (Reuters) - Lindsay Lohan says she drew upon her own experiences of motherhood for "Freakier Friday", the highly-anticipated sequel to her hit 2003 movie "Freaky Friday". Lohan, 39, welcomed her first child in 2023, a year before the Disney movie was filmed. "It felt full circle for me, and also the timing was pretty impeccable considering that I'm a new mom and I was able to bring being a mom into the character," Lohan said at the film's London premiere on Thursday. "It's the first time I'm able to do that on screen." "Freaky Friday", with a reported budget of $26 million, was a surprise hit, making over $160 million worldwide and obtaining a cult following. The 2025 follow-up sees Lohan and actress Jamie Lee Curtis reprising the roles of mother and daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman. Twenty years on, Anna is a single parent to tomboy teen daughter Harper, played by Julia Butters. Their relationship comes under stress when Anna falls for Eric (Manny Jacinto), the father of Harper's new British classmate Lily (Sophia Hammons), and they decide to get married. The future stepsisters, with a mutual dislike for one another, decide to intervene. While the 2003 film saw a body swap between Tess and Anna, things get "freakier" this time around with Tess and Anna switching bodies with Lily and Harper. Before signing on to the sequel, Lohan ensured that Anna returned as a multi-faceted and relatable character. "It was important to me that we explained who Anna is today and how she's evolved and the dynamic between her and her daughter as she's a single working mom. There are some basic points that I wanted to get across because I want people to see the movie and find a piece of it that they can grab onto and be like, 'okay, I get that'," she said. Directed by Nisha Ganatra, the movie also sees actor Chad Michael Murray reprising the role of young Anna's love interest, Jake. Shooting the sequel was a "lovefest", said Murray. "It was the same, but better. It felt very much like connective tissue to the first movie. Everyone loved going to work and no one wanted to go home." "Freakier Friday" marks Lohan's big screen return. "It's obviously nerve-wracking because you want it to be great and you want people to love what you do," she said. "As long as people are enjoying what I'm doing and it's making them happy, then I feel like I'm doing my job and that's what I'm here to do." "Freakier Friday" begins its global cinematic rollout on August 6.

Guy Pearce: ‘I don't think I'll look as good in a frock as I did when I was 25'
You once said you need to be so in control of things that if you had brain surgery, you'd only feel comfortable doing it yourself. Do you still feel this way? FioreSebekI don't remember saying that, but I can see how someone might joke about it. There's usually room for improvisation in life, but I have never been a very good improviser when it comes to acting. When I do things in my own accent, like Jack Irish, he was quite laissez-faire and flippant, so I could be looser and pull stuff out of the air. But when I'm working with high-powered actors and speaking with a tricky accent, I'm learning my lines, doing what's required and staying in control. If you were attending a dinner party where all the other guests were characters you have played, who would you sit next to, and who would you avoid? FrocksAwayI'd avoid Eric from The Rover and the Reverend from Brimstone, because they might kill me. Ed Exley from LA Confidential is quite arrogant and boring. I'd like to sit next to Andy Warhol, who I've played [in Factory Girl]. Houdini would be interesting, although I don't reckon you'd get a word in. And Leonard from Memento would start with dessert and finish with the starter because he's all backwards. I love my partner dearly, but she says if she was ever going to leave me, it would be for 'Mike from Neighbours'. What can I do to make her stop? Perhaps you can tell her for me? TooMuchSpareTimeNo, I'm not going to make her stop. I'm with her all the way if she thinks: if you're going to have an affair, make sure you have one with Annette Bening, or whoever. Maybe she needs to watch a couple of the horrible characters I've played, like Charley Rakes in Lawless. That's another character I don't want to sit next to. She should watch Brimstone and Lawless, and I can guarantee you she will have lost interest in Mike from Neighbours. When they first sent you the script for Memento, was it backwards? lagodeluna It was exactly as you see it in the film. Speaking of people who are in control of what they're doing, Christopher Nolan is king of that, because he so brilliantly constructed something where there was no room for things to move around. When my agent sent me the script, he said: 'By the way, this all goes backwards.' I'm glad he did, otherwise I would have read it three times before I got what was going on. Any news about the Priscilla, Queen of the Desert sequel? Have you boarded the lavender bus again, or are you still stuck in the pre-production desert? badrobot2 and feirefitzWe're stuck in the pre-production desert, going back and forth on the script, locations and budget. I feel there's enough love in the room to make it happen. I don't know if I am looking forward to putting on a dress again. I don't think I'm going to look as good in a frock as I did in 1993 when I was 25. Funnily enough, I was contacted by Madame Tussauds, who were setting up in Australia and wanted to have iconic Australian actors, like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Russell Crowe from Gladiator, Eric Bana from Chopper and me from Priscilla. I was filming Prometheus in London, so they said: 'Could you come in to Madame Tussauds and stand in your underwear, pulling this pose' – they had a photo – 'and we're going to take six million photos from every angle?' I said: 'This is 2011. I'm not in the same shape that I was in 1993.' They went: 'Yes, yes, yes. Everyone wants bigger muscles and bigger boobs. We'll make the clay model first, you can come in, and if there's anything you don't like, you can let us know.' So I had to go in and say: 'If you look at this photo, my waist used to be a little bit thinner,' and they said: 'Oh yeah, good point.' Did you have an inkling that LA Confidential would be such a masterpiece while you were filming it? GasparGarcao No, is the answer. I don't really have an inkling for anything. I'd done four or five films in Australia, but it was a totally different environment: in the US, with Americans, on an American film. The whole thing was so big, it was hard for me to gauge anything. I was too focused on trying to do a good job to think: 'Wow, this is going to be good.' I was the second person cast after Russell Crowe. Russ and I were rehearsing while they were working with the script, and casting other people. So then David Strathairn, Kim Basinger and Danny DeVito turned up. James Cromwell says to my character in the film: 'Would you be willing to shoot a hardened criminal in the back to save face?' I say: 'No no no,' being all moral, but in the end, I shoot him in the back. When I shot him, the wadding from the shotgun flew out and hit him in the back of the head. He was 30ft away, so everyone had said: 'Don't worry, it's safe.' But, for a moment, I thought: 'Jeez. I've killed him. I'll never work in Hollywood again.' Was there a particular role that earned you Radiohead's nod of approval to appear in their music video for Follow Me Around? McScootikins I don't think so. They contacted my agent in the US saying: 'Do you have any actors who might want to do it?' And Chris, my agent, who knows I'm a big Radiohead fan, said straight away: 'Guy Pearce is in London right now.' I was filming A Spy Among Friends with Damian Lewis and said: 'I have to take a call with Thom Yorke about this Radiohead music video I'm in. So, excuse me.' Are you grateful that your late 80s pop career didn't take off? Megapode777That's the best question I've ever been asked in my life. After I finished Neighbours, there was a period where people would say: 'Didn't you used to be Mike from Neighbours?' Then one day, this 10- or 12-year-old kid came up to me in a shopping centre and said: 'Didn't you used to be Guy Pearce?' I thought: 'Wow, that's the most profound thing anyone's ever said,' because, in a way, it was true. I always knew I wasn't just a soap opera actor. I was just stuck in that cycle. Prior to Neighbours, I'd done 10 years of theatre, which made playing the same character for four years frustrating. I wanted to delve into a wider variety of personalities and behaviours. But when I finished Neighbours in 1989, I was in the wilderness because no one wanted to employ the guy who was in Neighbours, and I struggled to find work. I went back and did some theatre, a little bit of Home and Away and then, in 1993, I got to do Priscilla. So, yes, I'm really grateful that my 80s pop career didn't take off!

Why Sydney foodies are flocking to buy $45 baguettes right now: 'Best. Ever.'
A little bakery just 45 minutes from the Sydney CBD has made a serious name for itself in food circles - much to the disappointment of locals. Kearns Village Bakery, near Campbelltown, has wowed foodies with its tasty treats since it opened - but it's the $45 bánh mì that has the spotlight right now. It's important to note that while some ravenous customers have been able to finish the 80cm creations on their own, they are designed to be shared between three to five people. Annie, of Annie's Bucket List, visited the bakery to try one of the 80cm Vietnamese rolls for herself and she was not disappointed. 'This is an 80cm bánh mì thịt,' she said while showing off the baguette in a TikTok review. 'They sell these at Kearns Village Bakery - it's a humble little family-run bakery in Campbelltown and people usually come here for the regular-sized ones. '[They have] crispy pork at the front and traditional bánh mì thịt at the bottom. [The traditional side] has the pickled carrots and daikon and it has the cold cut meats and my favourite, which is the Vietnamese pâté and bơ. Bơ, she explained, is a 'special Viet mayo'. It's important to note that while some ravenous customers have been able to finish the 80cm creations on their own, they are designed to be shared between three to five people 'The pâté and bơ is really good, it's a very solid bánh mì - love it,' she gushed, before tasting the other side. 'This is the side with the crispy skin pork. Aunty says when people order this they also ask if they can buy the sauce that comes with it so she gave me some extra to put in there,' she said. 'Usually I like the traditional bánh mì thịt with the cold cuts better but their crispy pork here is really, really good. It's so crispy and there is so much pâté... the pâté is amazing.' And she wasn't alone, with many fans sharing her enthusiasm. 'Girl that looks AMAZING,' one wrote. 'It's the size of five regular bánh mì so they're essentially $9 each,' another added. 'They make the best bánh mì EVER,' one more agreed. Others argued the $45 price was too steep to justify, even when split between multiple people. '$45 for THAT! That's a steal because they are stealing your money,' one wrote. 'Too expensive,' another wrote. Annie disagreed, saying the price was 'fair' given the 'crazy amount you get'. 'I even told them to keep the change because I felt bad,' she said. Annie said the custard tarts, pies and meatball rolls the bakery sells are great, too, with many enthusiastic locals agreeing. Unfortunately, judging by the virality of this little bakery, these regulars will have some serious queues to contend with very soon.
