Megan Barton-Hanson recently opened up about her past relationships, shedding light on her famous former flames.
The Love Island star, aged 30, rose to prominence during season five of the ITV2 dating show. Her journey on the series included dalliances with Eyal Booker and Alex Miller before forming a connection with Wes Nelson, with whom she finished in fourth place. However, their relationship ultimately ended five months later, with Megan later claiming that Wes prioritised money and career over her.
In a twist of fate, during a stint on Love Island Games last year, Megan contemplated a potential reconciliation with Eyal, only to face a brutal rejection during a game of Snog, Marry, Pie.
Discussing her current relationship with her exes, Megan spoke exclusively to the Mail’s comedy podcast, Straight to the Comments!, which delves into the hilarity and uniqueness of the MailOnline comment section with the celebrities involved.
Megan shared, “Yeah, we’re like civil, we’re friends. If I saw him [Wes] out, I’d chat to him, same as Eyal. I got with Eyal before I got with Wes on the show, and even after my comment, I can’t believe it come across so abrupt!”
Reflecting on a memorable moment from their time in the villa, Megan clarified a joke she made to Eyal, saying, “I didn’t mean it like that! I just meant you’re not super funny yourself, bro.”
When asked about who was a better kisser between Wes and Eyal, Megan confessed, “Probably Wes.” Agreeing with the hosts’ observation that Eyal might be “pretty but quite boring,” Megan added, “That was my point! no, I love him though. We’ve just done Love Island games together. He Pied me, so I was trying to put it on him and get a kiss and he was having none of it. Cheeky f***er.”
Furthermore, Megan, who came out as bisexual in 2019, discussed the differences between her romantic relationships with women and men. She emphasised, “I try not to look at gender. I think for me it’s more about the connection I have with someone. If they’re bringing something to my life, they’re making me a better version of myself, and they’re just a nice person.”
Exploring the contrast between early dating phases with men and women, Megan shared her preference for the carefree dating dynamic with men but acknowledged the depth in conversations with women.
Megan’s appearance on the podcast coincided with the hosts, Josh Pieters and Archie Manners, breaking down some of the most bizarre comments left under MailOnline stories.
