Megan Barton-Hanson on why she will only settle for The One and who she’d crack on with in the Love Island villa

Megan Barton-Hanson certainly brought the drama to Love Island2018, swiftly earning a reputation as a bit of a sex kitten – then spiced things up again on Love Island Gameslast November in Fiji.
Here, Megan catches up exclusively with new to give her take on this year’s Love Island: All Stars, as she explains why she feels contestants are “holding back”.
The 29-year-old – who came out as bisexual in 2019 and counts TOWIE’s James Lock and Demi Sims among her exes – also opens up about the success she’s had on OnlyFans, why she feels the clock is ticking and drops a big hint about what it would take to get her back in the villa.
Hi, Megan! Since leaving Love Island, you’ve done really well on OnlyFans…
It was something I’d done before Love Island, but before the show, ITV suggested I get rid of it as it was a “family show”. Although most of what I’d posted was bikini shots, just like what we see in the villa anyway.
So, you then resurrected it…
Yeah, it’s the best thing I ever did. It’s allowed me to travel the world. I won’t say what I earn on it, but I have a comfortable life and I set my own boundaries. Nobody’s forcing me to do topless shots. I have control.
What do you say to people who slam it as ‘seedy’?
In a world where I could walk down the street in a big baggy top and tracky bottoms and men still sexualise me, why not take control and capitalise on that? And it boosts my ego. Doing shoots is a full day out, my make-up artist is my best mate and it’s like playing adult dress up – except I get paid!
We loved your Only Fans photoshoot with Love Island: All Stars star Hannah Elizabeth. Are you good mates?
We are. I love Hannah, she’s like a real-life Barbie. Her boobs, I can’t stop staring at them! They’ve grown since I last saw her. Seeing her on the show, I’m thinking, “Hmm, should I go on?” It would be good to do it with people I’m close to. She’s so funny and says it how it is. It’s hard to meet people like that in our industry.
Hannah’s faced some backlash over her new look, though...
I think it’s crazy. It’s her body, she’s a grown woman. If she wants surgery, tweakments or a whole body transformation, who are we to judge her? She’s not hurting anyone. That’s the toxic side of Love Islandand social media.
