Meanwhile, Megan hooked up with fellow contestant Wes Brown during her Love Island stint.
Although she and Wes left the villa as a fully-fledged couple, it ultimately wasn't to be.
With tears in her eyes, she told host Brunson: "Wes cheated on me and I was just like, 'Oh my God'.
"It was just a lot. And that six months was just mental. I thought, 'Christ, I only wanted a few more OnlyFans followers."
She recalled having thought: "Why has this gone so bad?"
The Sun told how Megan dumped Wes after their sex life ultimately fizzled out.

A source close to Megan said the couple's relationship had "moved too quickly."
They added: "It all became very intense and what's worse is that their sex life started to suffer. As soon as Wes started to train for Dancing on Ice, he became too tired for anything in the evening.
"There's a four-year age difference between them too - that coupled with the threat of Vanessa and all the time her and Wes were spending together there was no hope."
In another previous relationship, Megan dated Towie star Demi Sims.
