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.'

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

Speaking on the red carpet of this year's British Soap Awards, Patsy revealed: "Soap is something that I love and I loved my time at Emmerdale and my 4 years at Holby City, but then I went into EastEnders. EastEnders fans SWITCH OFF slamming 'worst episode' as backlash grows to controversial pregnancy storyline "EastEnders was actually my dream job, I've wanted to be in that show for years. "If I could throw a wish out there it would be that Emma could come back to see Lexi (her granddaughter)." Advertisement Meanwhile, Danny is rumoured to be plotting his own comeback as Mick Carter. Danny claimed to have thrown in the towel three years ago because he couldn't believe his character got paired up with Charlie Brooks' Janine and got her pregnant. Best soap affair love triangles LOVE triangles are a fundamental part of soap-land, but which ones have become the most iconic? EASTENDERS Bradley/Stacey/Max: Stacey Slater began an affair with boyfriend Bradley Branning's dad Max in 2007. Despite their romps, Stacey still married Bradley, but their deceit came out in an iconic Christmas Day episode that year. Grant/Sharon/Phil: Heading even further back in Walford history, EastEnders fans were gripped in the 90s as Sharon Watts had a one-night stand with her brother-in-law Phil Mitchell. Sharon confided in best friend Michelle Fowler - not realising it was caught on tape - and her husband Grant eventually found out and played it in front of everyone at the Queen Vic. Syed/Amira/Christian: Syed Masood was engaged to Amira before realising he had feelings for another man, Christian, which he confessed to him on his wedding day. A devout Muslim, Syed refused to admit his true sexuality and went ahead and married Amira anyway, but when they returned, the two men started an affair before being caught in the act by Amira. CORONATION STREET Shelley/Peter/Lucy: Peter Barlow took the concept of a love triangle and ran with it in Coronation Street - extending it to bigamy. He was in a relationship with Shelley Unwin but started dating Lucy Richards, and quickly married her after she fell pregnant with his son, Simon. But it didn't stop him also marrying Shelley, but he was eventually caught when Lucy turned up in Weatherfield and the two women confronted him. Ken/Deidre/Mike: Back in 1982, Deirdre Barlow started sleeping with her husband's nemesis Mike Baldwin in secret, before confessing all a year later. When Mike turned up at the marital home, Deirdre was being throttled by her husband who then kicked her out, but years later they reconciled. Maria/Aidan/Eva: In 2017, Aidan Connor started sleeping with girlfriend Eva Price's best friend, Maria Connor. Eva eventually found out and she decided to take revenge by faking a pregnancy, spending his money and planned to confront him on their wedding day. But she had a change of heart when a remorseful Aidan confessed, and decided to marry him anyway, only for Maria to arrive and expose her fake pregnancy. EMMERDALE Ross/Debbie/Pete: Debbie Dingle found herself torn between two brothers, Ross and Pete Barton in 2015 in Emmerdale. She eventually decided to marry Pete but yet again, a soap wedding day was ruined when the groom learned of his bride's betrayal via a recording played at the wedding. Chrissie/Robert/Aaron: Robert Sugden was married to Chrissie White and all seemed well - until he began a steamy affair with Aaron Dingle. Robert's ex Katie Sugden almost exposed the affair - but fell to her death before she had the chance. However, a guilty Aaron eventually cracked and told Chrissie about the affair - after which she announced it to the whole pub. Talking on Sky's Smart TV he said: "Mick's got a kid with Janine, how mad's that? That's why I left. "They f*ing put me with Janine, I thought I've gotta fk off! It's the truth!" Advertisement However, he later revealed: 'I was off my nut a lot of that job . . . a lot of Valium and diazepam.' He accused show chiefs of a lack of duty of care for the cast, and also said show bosses tried to stop him from drinking real beer while filming in the Queen Vic pub. But at the NTAs, Danny said: "Bring Mick back, which is the character I played in EastEnders. "So I could be back for it. You never found my body, f*** knows where I am - bring Mick back!" Advertisement Could a double return be on the cards? The new EastEnders boss Ben Wadey has already brought back some iconic characters, such as Zoe Slater and Oscar Branning. And even more returns are in the pipeline - from the likes of Max Branning, Ben Mitchell and Anthony Fox. However, fuming EastEnders fans have recently threatened to switch off their TVs as backlash grows over a controversial pregnancy twist. Advertisement Suki's (Balvinder Sopal) twisted plan to manipulate Avani (Aaliyah James) into having a baby – just so she can raise it herself - has received a huge public backlash. Viewers are slamming the storyline as 'unrealistic' and 'garbage', with some even vowing to ditch the soap for good. To make matters worse, Patrick (Rudolph Walker) suddenly spiralled into a gambling problem, despite two decades of betting without a hitch. Viewers were left scratching their heads and branding the writing "tedious" and "a challenge to watch." Advertisement Can the soap win viewers back?
