Megan Barton-Hanson lifted the lid on her past romances as she reflected on her famous former flames.
The Love Island star, 30, soared to fame on season five of the ITV2 dating show, enjoying dalliances with Eyal Booker and Alex Miller before setting her sights on Wes Nelson, with whom she finished in fourth place.
They ultimately split five months later, with Megan later claiming Wes prioritised money and career over her.
During a stint on Love Island Games last year, the blonde bombshell was considering a potential reconciliation with Eyal – but he ended up brutally rejecting her during a game of of Snog, Marry, Pie.
Revealing where things lie with her exes now, Megan spoke exclusively to the Mail’s comedy podcast Straight to the Comments!, which embraces the hilarity and uniqueness of the MailOnline comment section with the celebs in question.
Megan Barton-Hanson lifted the lid on her past romances as she reflected on her famous former flames during an appearance on the Mail’s new podcast Straight to the Comments!
Megan revealed: ‘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!’
During their time in the villa, Megan had ended things with Eyal by joking ‘You’re not exactly Jim Carrey’, when the spiritual Islander claimed they could work through their differences by ‘having more fun’.
Megan recalled: ‘I didn’t mean it like that! I just meant you’re not super funny yourself, bro.’
Asked by podcast hosts Josh Pieters and Archie Manners who was a better kisser out of Wes and Eyal, she confessed: ‘Probably Wes.’
As Archie probed: ‘I always think Eyal’s very pretty but quite boring…’ Megan agreed: ‘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.’
Elsewhere in the chat, Megan – who came out as bisexual in 2019 – detailed the difference between her romantic relationships with women and men.
She explained: ‘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.’
Reflecting on her past flings she added: ‘I’ve dated so many a**holes, I’m just open; if they’re a girl, a guy, it doesn’t matter to me.’

On the differences between the early dating phase between men and women, she mused: ‘Yeah, girls are so deep straight away.
‘On the first date I know their star sign, how many cats they’ve had. their whole life story, every ex they’ve ever had, how they’ve been heartbroken.
‘With men, it’s just fun… I kind of like the carefree dating of men; I would say I prefer dating men.
‘But, when I’m actually in a relationship, not all girls, that’s so stereotypical but I mean some girls are really chill. I don’t want to hear about 20 of your exes, you’re dating me today!’
