Lauren Wood in lockdown at Mexican resort amid violence

Love Island star Lauren Wood has revealed that she's in lockdown in with no power, afterfollowing the killing of the country's most notorious drug kingpin. 

The reality star, 26, is currently on holiday in Tulum, but her lavish getaway has been thrown into chaos, after the death of Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes on Sunday sparked a wave of violent outbreaks.

Tourists have been warned to shelter in place, avoid crowds and minimise their movements after gunmen unleashed bloody chaos across several Mexican cities.

Taking to her Instagram on Monday, Lauren reassured followers that she was 'safe', but that she was on lockdown at the resort she was staying, Casa Malca.

Sharing a photo of the idyllic beach view, she wrote: 'Thank you for all the messages regarding our safety here. We have no power currently and have been on lockdown since last night but we are safe as can be'.

Her trip had come while she was still reeling from her recent heartache, after Harrison Solomon secretly entered the All Stars villa earlier this month.

Despite the exes publicly announcing they had split in November 2025, Lauren revealed they were 'still very much in a relationship' and had planned to 'work on themselves' and then reunite and have a 'future together'.

Speaking to Joe Baggs on the Not My Bagg podcast, she said she 'genuinely trusted' Harrison, 23, and was blindsided by his shock All Stars appearance after they both promised to never sign up to the spin-off series.

She said: 'I feel like I'm having to go through a break up all over again because really nothing changed between me and him apart from we weren't spending loads of time together in person, that's the only difference. 

'We were still very much together and I would act how a relationship would act in communication. I actually thought we were stronger than we had ever been. Now I feel I'm having to deal with a sudden break up again but getting no closure.'

While speaking about the possibility of going on All Stars, she said: 'We both agreed it wouldn't be the right thing to do and it would break either of our hearts if one of us go on there and that was just the agreement we had.

'Obviously if in a year's time we wasn't back together, then yeah fair enough go and do it. But we promised each other we would not do that and that was the case right up until he went.'

She added: 'The hard part is, I actually believed him. I had his back through it all and said he would never do that to me. Up until two weeks ago I was saying "he wouldn't do that, no way". 

'I said to him I'm so happy you proved everyone wrong and he let me sit there and say that knowing he was going on.'

Harrison was called out for his behaviour with Lauren during Sunday night's episode, as previous Islander re-entered the villa to air their thoughts on the remaining couples, ahead of Monday's final.

It was claimed he was 'talking about baby names' with Lauren only a week before his flight to  and that his mother reportedly had to reach out to her to clarify what was happening.

However, the footballer - who quit the show last series to be with Lauren - insisted that they were over and that she had no reason to be upset. 

Just weeks before heading into the villa, Harrison said that he still had 'a lot of love' for her, but it had become too hard to find time for each other.

Speaking to The Daily Mail, he revealed: 'Life's obviously been really full-on since leaving the villa. Obviously between work, travel, and everything going on, it just became really hard to find time to really focus on each other.

' I didn't want it to get to that point. I don't think either of us did, but we just had to have a conversation. We sat down, had an open and honest conversation and have decided to part ways but there's no bad blood at all.

'We just drifted a bit after the show, which is it's unfortunate, but we're still on really good terms. I've still got a lot of love for her and I wish her all the best as well.'

Meanwhile, the UK Foreign Office has issued an updated travel warning to tourists stranded in the Mexico, as the carnage spread up the west coast of the country through Sunday, with reports of attacks getting closer to Baja ,

The statement from the GOV.UK website said: 'Serious security incidents have been reported on 22 February across the state of Jalisco, including in Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta, following a federal law-enforcement operation against organised in the municipality of Tapalpa.

'Authorities in Puerto Vallarta have issued a public advisory to stay indoors. Routes to airports may be blocked. There are reports of blockades on intercity roads across affected states.' 

It added: 'You should exercise extreme caution, follow local authorities' advice, including orders to stay indoors and avoid non‑essential travel in affected areas.

'Please monitor local media and follow advice from authorities and local transport companies before making a decision to travel. 

'If you do decide to travel, we recommend intercity road travel during daylight hours. Security incidents have also been reported in other parts of Mexico. 

'As the situation develops, wherever you are in Mexico, you should stay alert and follow local security advice.'

Many flights have been cancelled and one airport closed across the country, leaving tourists stranded.

Puerto Vallarta International Airport announced it had cancelled 'all international operations and most of the domestic flights' on Sunday. 

While public transportation in the city has also been suspended, and hotels across the city are advising guests to remain indoors. Some businesses have temporarily closed.

Videos circulating on social media from Sunday show vehicles ablaze as residents of Puerto Vallarta have also reported armed thugs on motorcycles and the sounds of their gunfire. 

Authorities have said they are actively working on containing the cartel's reactions and reinforcing security following Cervantes's killing.

The kingpin, 59, also known as El Mencho, was eliminated in a joint Mexican military and US-backed operation in Tapalpa, a town of 20,000 people in the Sierra Madre mountains. 

He was the head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), one of Mexico's most powerful drug cartels that plays a key role in trafficking methamphetamine and fentanyl to the US.

Cervantes's brutal control of the drug-trafficking routes from Latin America to the US, using speedboats and submersibles to ship cocaine and methamphetamine from Colombia and Ecuador via the Pacific, is thought to have made him billions.

He was linked to several beheadings, and last year an 'extermination ranch' was discovered in Jalisco that featured underground cremation ovens and 200 pairs of shoes.
