The hardships of finding love

According to the series 4 star of the matchmaking show, she has been banned from several dating apps—including Hinge and Raya (the latter known for being popular with celebrities). Speaking to Metro newspaper on the challenges of finding love, MBH said:

It’s hard, I got blocked off Raya for saying Channing Tatum was on there so that’s that avenue gone. Hinge—I got blocked off there because they thought I was a catfish.

The reality TV regular, who can currently be seen on MTV's Celebrity Ex On The Beach, together with ex-flame The Only Way Is Essex star James Lock admits to having had many of her relationships be heavily publicised. Perhaps explaining why things have not worked out for her. She said:

I’ve only ever had three serious relationships in the public eye so the main ones are from Love Island and my first female relationship. I met Demi Sims on another dating show and we’re still friends.

What is Megan up to these days?

Since appearing on the show, the 27-year-old has come out as bisexual and believes that Love Island should diversify their cast to allow room for all types of sexualities. In an interview she said:

There isn’t much representation for bisexual men. I get so many DMs from men who want to experiment with their sexuality or they have come out as bisexual.

In recent times, Megan has become a sex correspondent for Vice magazine and has expressed her desire to write a feature exploring the world of sex workers.
