Ron possibly dislikes Lana, claims fans
Ron and Lana are the most searched Winter Love Island contestants and have a fair chance of winning the show. Meanwhile, a significant section on the internet believes that Ron dislikes Lana after his ‘sly’ remarks to her in the new baby challenge, reported The Sun.
Ron told Lana that she’s done nothing good for their baby and implied that her behaviour was ‘unattractive.’ Love Island fans were quick to analyse the subtext behind it and said:
Ron doesn't like Lana and I can't be convinced otherwise.

Another one added:
