Speaking on the latest episode of Onlyfans’ OFTV docuseries In Real Life, Megan said: “I definitely got pigeonholed into being the man-eater, the ex-stripper, the crazy one… but that’s not me at all!” .

Megan added that she has “never rewatched (her time on the show) in its entirety, simply because I know I was the villain.”

While Megan says she “had an amazing summer” on the show, she didn’t want to look back and see how they made her fit a certain mold.

She added: ‘I feel like I was definitely pigeonholed into being the man-eater, the ex-stripper, the crazy one… But that’s not me at all! I like to get what I want, but I can also be a girl’s girl.

Megan enjoyed a romance with Eyal Booker, but caused a stir when she decided to pair up with Wes Nelson, despite his history with her friend Laura Anderson.

The couple made things official, but split just five months later.

In Real Life we ​​also saw Megan enjoy rafting while being interviewed by host Casey Boonstra.

Having become an advocate for women and sexual empowerment, Megan shared what her experience on Love Island and the expression of sexuality on the show has meant to her.

She said: ‘I feel like when I was growing up, there weren’t many women who talked about pleasure or sex… (and) if your friends (were) pretty prudish, or you didn’t have that (kind of) relationship with your parents, then who would you ask? ?

“I love being that voice for people, and I think because I was so open about it on Love Island, it opened the door for people to come to me and ask me for advice.”

“I’ve always been a sexual person, but when I was growing up, it wasn’t talked about that women actually enjoy sex…

“Women are always portrayed as mothers, girlfriends or wives and I think it’s time for women to start putting themselves first, saying this is me, this is what I want in a partner and unless bring something to the table, go ahead!’

Confident in her decision to come out as bisexual, Megan shares that she initially wanted to “keep that close to my chest before (leaving) Love Island, but then after thinking, people are going to judge me anyway, to hell with that! ‘

The star then shared the importance of maintaining your mental health, saying: ‘Mental health is a big journey.

“(If) it’s the same as sex, it’s the most natural thing – and all these things are so important to our human existence – why don’t we talk about it?”

Megan previously ruled out a return to the Love Island villa for spin-off All Stars.

In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, the former Islander revealed: “There’s no one (person on the show) I would fuck.” That’s why I’m not there.

Speaking about the All Stars 2025 cast, she continued: “The girls line-up is unreal, but I’m sorry, the male side… what happened?”

The line-up in question features Maura Higgins’ ex, a finalist couple from the third series and a former winner of the show.

However, for Megan, the only man who could have tempted her to return would have been season five’s Ovie Soko.

“I messaged him when they asked me to do the last one and he said ‘I’m not doing it,’ so I backed out,” she revealed.

While the male lineup hasn’t piqued her interest, Megan was quick to say that she’s “really happy there are so many hot girls there” this year.

And while Love Island might be firmly off the table, Megan remains as bold as ever when it comes to her goals for next year.

‘Just big damn and a lot of money!’ he declared, when asked what he is manifesting for 2025.
