The reality TV star is best known for appearing on the fourth series of Love Island. She left the show with Wes Nelson – however, the pair eventually split.

She then signed up for Celebs Go Dating where she met The Only Way is Essex star Demi Sims. The pair hit it off and enjoyed a romance together, but things didn't last.

Following their split, Megan said: "We really did get along, but I think it was more as friends. She’s beautiful, a lovely person and she’s funny, but there was no sexual chemistry there."

She added: "We only ever kissed and I couldn’t get past the point. I was doubting myself and I thought, 'Maybe I don’t like girls,' but it wasn't that – I just saw her more as a friend."
