Before Bethannie, 23, quit Hollyoaks last year, her character Cher McQueen was known for having a romance with Owen’s Romeo.
So when the actress posted a picture on Instagram with her new man, Owen couldn’t help making a cheeky dig.
It came when Bethannie posted a series of black and white shots of her and her fella, captioning it with a simple yellow heart emoji.
But not wanting to miss out on a joke, Owen commented by saying: “@bethanniehare you’re punching x”
Meanwhile, Bethannie recently revealed she is very good friends with Love Island star Lana Jenkins, who is currently in the villa.
However, she admitted she didn’t like watching her pal being messed around by finance worker Ron.
Speaking exclusively to HOAR, Bethannie said: “I’m very protective about my best friend, every time Ron mentions another girl, I’m thinking you better be loyal to Lana.
“Lana is so pure, whatever she think she’ll say, she’ll never say anything that’s not true and you can really tell that she does really like him and it would be nice if he hopefully feels the same way back.
“It’s so weird seeing your best friend in the villa, but you’re hearing what the boys are saying and you’re like ‘oh you better not’.”
The soap star praised the celebrity make-up artist for being herself in the villa and said she deserves to find happiness.
“She’s my best friend and I love her to pieces, when she told me she was going on the show I was just so excited for her because she has the biggest heart of anyone I know.”
Bethannie went on: “I honestly think she’s going to win it as everyone’s fallen in love with her.
“She’s so down to earth, she doesn’t know how beautiful she is and I think that’s really coming across and I she really is just a normal girl and I think everyone can relate and I’m just so excited.”
She continued: “Lana is like the blonde version of me, we’re both very clumsy and ditsy, we have the most fun, whenever we’re together there is always something eventful and funny that will happen.
“I am so excited just to see what else is going to happen because I know there is going to be many funny events happening in the villa.
“I think she’d be the best girlfriend and whoever she’s with in the villa would be very very lucky to have her.”
