Love Island’s Charlie Brake, 25, parties with TV star Jenny Powell, 52, as confused fans mistake her for his mum
LOVE Island star Charlie Brake shocked fans by hanging out with TV presenter Jenny Powell.
Charlie, 25, enjoyed some afternoon drinks with the Wheel of Fortune star, 52, as fans struggled to get their head around their relationship.
The Love Island alum posted the cute pic of the pair snuggled close together and holding big cocktail glasses at London’s Gray’s & Feather bar in Covent Garden.
Jenny beamed in the photo and looked stunning, wearing her dark hair straight down to her shoulders and rocked a chic pink and red floral dress.
Charlie kept his look more simple in a blue short and his dark blonde hair styled back.
He captioned the fun Instagram photo: “Afternoon G&Tea #experiencematters.”
The former Loose Women also shared the pic to her Instagram stories, not once but twice.
“Afternoon tea? Or is that G&T?!!” Jenny captioned one of the stories.
Then she captioned the second with the added text: “Afternoon G&T with… what’s his name again?”
But Charlie’s fans struggled to understand if Jenny was his mum or girlfriend, but were happy for him either way.
One Instagram user wrote: “Thought it was his mam ”
Another added: “He looks happy so I’m happy for him.”
While a third: “The romance we never thought we needed until now ”
But a romance between the pair, because Jenny is engaged to a man called Martin.
Jenny has two daughters Constance, 19, and Pollyanna, 11, with ex-husband Toby Baxendale.
She opened up about meeting Martin in 2016 to Kate Thornton on her White Wine Question Time podcast.
Jenny explained: “I was in Pret a Manger at Euston waiting to get the train back up to Manchester and this Adonis walks in, I thought, “Bloody hell, he’s alright”.
“And I just put my head down because I was ogling him, and this shadow loomed over me and it was him asking if he could sit down.”
Charlie found brief romance with co-star Ellie Brown but they split after a very tumultuous relationship.
He has remained pretty low-key since his split with Ellie in 2018, and consequent fling with Ferne McCann.
However, the reality star did show off his impressive weight loss earlier this year.

He revealed he started focusing on his fitness late and showed off his impressive weight loss on Instagram in May.
The snaps shows a before and after look at his topless figure, alongside the caption: “Now > back then,” alongside a strongman Emoji icon and middle finger icon.
The left-hand image showed the Brakes catering heir flexing his bicep as he posed for a topless mirror selfie, with his abs on full show.
It contrasted to the picture on the right, which saw his belly a little bigger and his abdominal muscles much less defined.
