© Getty We're all for an unlikely celeb romance here at heat but even we were shocked when Love Island's Charlie Brake was linked to TV presenter Jenny Powell.
The reality star left fans confused earlier this year when he enjoyed a night out with the 52-year-old, who rose to fame on Wheel of Fortune in the 90s. While some of his followers assumed they were romantically involved, others thought Jenny was his mum.
AWKS.
Although neither of them have spoken out about how they know each other, Jenny recently fuelled rumours of a romance between the unlikely pair after sharing some flirty banter with Charlie on Instagram.
When the 2018 Islander uploaded a photo of his steak during a recent meal out with the caption, "You are what you eat," Jenny cheekily replied, "Tender and warm?! ??."

After leaving the villa, Jack landed himself a TV show alongside Dani Dyer, appeared on the Celebrity version of Gogglebox and even hosted the NTA red carpet with Dani.
After the pair split up in April 2019, Jack has gone on to be involved in a number of sponsorship deals, as well as attending various events. He also recently appeared on The All New Full Monty.

Despite already having some fame (due to her famous dad, Danny Dyer) before entering the villa, Love Island certainly catapulted Dani into the limelight when she won the show with Jack Fincham.

After leaving the villa, Dani was in demand, landing her own clothing brand with In The Style, appearing on more or less EVERY TV show, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for Red Nose Day, and releasing her own book.
Following her split from Jack, Dani was accused of 'cheating' with her ex-boyfriend Sammy Kimmence, after snaps of them kissing emerged. However, the Love Island winner totally denied the rumours.
Laura Anderson

Despite her turbulent time in the Love Island villa, Scottish beauty Laura Anderson finished in second place with hunky model Paul Knops.

Despite her relationship with Paul not lasting, Laura has kept herself busy and she recently launched her own fitness and lifestyle website called So-LA.
Oh, and her Instagram is also filled with clothing deals from various brands.

He was VERY popular with the ladies when he was a late arrival into the villa (probably due to fact he'd appeared in Britney Spears video), but it was Laura Anderson who he coupled up with finishing in second place.

After splitting with Laura just weeks after leaving the villa, Paul has continued to work as a model, showing off his good looks on his Instagram page.
We wonder if he features in any more of Britney Spears' music videos?

After coupling up with Josh Denzel on the show, Kaz made it all the way to the final, with many fans wanting the couple to win ahead of Jack and Dani.

It took him a while to settle during his time in the villa, but he eventually seemed smitten when he coupled up with Megan Barton-Hanson, with the pair making it to the final.

Wes was in demand when he left the Love Island villa, landing a spot on Dancing On Ice in January 2019. Despite impressing with his moves (and being linked to his partner Vanessa Bauer following his split from Megan), the star finished in second place.
Wes is now living life to the full as a single man, landing clothing deals, attending events and being flown around the world to promote different brands.

Aww, Dr Alex! He stole the nation's hearts when he tried and continued to be pied in the villa, ending in him leaving the show as 'friends' with Alexandra Cane.

Despite this, Dr Alex certainly had the last laugh! After appearing on shows like Lorraine and This Morning to give medical advice, Dr Alex returned to his job at a hospital, saving lives every day!
Much to our delight, he's also super loved-up with his girlfriend Amelia Bath.

Most recently, Jack has been on holiday to America with his Love Island pals, and he often models for BooHooMAN.

After her sour split from Sam Bird, Georgia signed up to Celebs Go Dating (on the same series as Jack Fowler). Despite taking a very handsome man to the final show in Tenerife, nothing seemed to happen after the show.

Millionaire Charlie Brake swept Geordie girl Elilie Brown off her feet during his time in the villa, with the pair enjoying a number of luxurious holidays in the months following.

Now, Samira is still best friends with a number of her co-stars including Adam Collard and Dani Dyer, and she often posts super sizzling snaps of herself modelling on her Instagram page.

He was the heartbreak kid at the beginning of the series, gaining the 'player' title, but the public's view of Geordie boy Adam Collard soon changed when he turned smitten with Zara McDermott.

Although they lasted nearly a year, Adam and Zara announced they'd split on Valentine's Day (brutal). The PT has been linked to a number of other woman since, including Harley Brash and Delilah Belle Hamlin, but he appears to be single right now.
Adam is keeping himself busy on modelling shoots at stunning destinations across the world, as well as promotional deals and his PT business.
Zara McDermott

She was the one girl who seemed to 'tame' Adam when she arrived in the villa, and despite leaving before her beau, Adam and Zara reunited when he left.

Zara is very active on her Instagram page, landing clothing deals with the likes of Missy Empire, AX Paris and Lasula.

Don't feel too sorry for him though, as well as THAT snog with Kendall Rae-Knight at the Love Island Christmas reunion, Eyal appeared on Celebs Go Dating and he's now dating American model Delilah Belle Hamlin.
Work-wise, Eyal continues to use his handsome face and unreal physique to his advantage, picking up modelling deals left, right and center.
Rosie Williams

Poor old Rosie Williams had her little heart broken by Adam Collard in the villa, resulting in her being dumped from the show far too early.

Rosie recently revealed to fans she'd been editing her photos 'too much' after Love Island left her feeling 'rubbish'.
However, the former Islander later told fans how she's been working with her family and friends to come up with ideas of how to recreate her Instagram, to bring back the 'sassy' Rosie her fans know.
Despite their flirty banter, Jenny is actually engaged to long-term partner Martin Lowe and has previously spoken out about how she and Charlie are just friends.
"Once they are over the age of 30, they tend to disappear from our screens. I think that's why people were so surprised to see me hanging out with Charlie Brake, a Love Islander more than half my age. I thought the reaction to it was hilarious," Jenny wrote in her guest column for Closer last month.
"Everyone just assumed I was either his mum or his girlfriend - no-one even considered that we were just friends. We either had to be related or having sex, because it was just unfathomable to people that someone so young would hang out with a 52-year-old woman!"
Meanwhile Chelsea boy Charlie has maintained a low-key love life since splitting from Ellie Brown just months after they left the Love Island villa, although he was briefly linked to Ferne McCann following a boozy night out.

Charlie, 25, showed off a jaw-dropping body transformation earlier this year after being trained by fellow Islander Frankie Foster.
Sharing the secret to Charlie's impressive new physique, Frankie revealed, "To lose fat we worked hard on what he was eating and drinking.
"Being the international jet setter he is it was never going to be a case of eating the same foods day in day out. We used a combo of My Fitness Pal, sending photos of meals and menus, and education to get his diet on track."
"To build some muscle and compliment his diet we put a programme together for him before he went to Thailand and got stuck into some Muay Thai training."
