Megan was dumped from Love Island after being voted the least popular girl.
Since then, she has been spilling the beans on life in the villa, and today was no different.
Speaking in her latest TikTok about an unseen moment in the villa, she revealed how Harry Cooksley had injured himself, and had to see a medic.
Addressing fans, Megan said: "My favourite moment in the villa was one day we were cartwheeling and Harry stood to close to the pond.
"He fully fell back, mic on, into the little ponds out by the gym.
"He had to see the medic, who told him to take two paracetamol and he'd be grand!"
This isn't the only revelation Megan has made about life in the villa.
She has been spilling all on the many things that fans don't see of what goes on behind-the-scenes.
In a new interview with Joe Baggs on his Not My Bagg podcast, she revealed how Islanders are restricted from knowing certain basic information.
Bizarrely, Megan claimed that the contestants are unable to know the temperature during their time on the show and are never informed by producers about how hot it is.
Speaking to Joe about filming in the heat, Megan said: "Well, we weren't allowed to know the actual degrees.
"We knew nothing!"
In shock, Joe reacted: "What a strange bit of information to with hold!"
Megan said back: "But I can tell you that I was dripping in sweat.
"It was really un-sexy when we were trying to flirt with everyone."

Women's Aid calls out Love Island for showing 'unhealthy patterns of behaviour'
Women's Aid has spoken up after Love Island contestant Harrison, and others, were slammed by viewers for their petrifying behaviour. The reality show hosted by Maya Jama has returned for another season of love triangles, shocking betrayals and unexpected sparks, but one contestant, Harrison, has left a bad taste in people's mouths. After arriving in the villa, Harrison formed a connection with Toni but when he went over to Casa Amor he struck up a relationship with another woman, Lauren, who he brought back to the main villa. After being intimate with her not once, but twice, without Toni's knowledge, it seemed as though he was still stringing her along, leading fans to call his behaviour out. In the latest episode, Toni decided to recouple with Harrison, a decision which provoked upset from even her mum who took to social media to express her dismay at the decision.

'I feel like I just watched my daughter walk out onto train tracks, and there is a bullet train coming right for her,' she said nearly in tears in a three-minute TikTok video. Meanwhile, one fan on X, metgirl, wrote: 'Harrison is genuinely one of the most sickening men ever to be on Love Island.. all he has done is make Toni AND Lauren feel crazy, and he fully enjoys watching them mentally struggle.. sick sick man.' Another, clivetheunicorn, added: 'Is Harrison the biggest villain we've seen?' User ao41825 called his behaviour 'so disgusting' and Alisha called him 'evil'. Other men who have been called out for their behaviour include Harry and Ben, whom Maya herself criticised in the show after comments they made about the women's sexual history and looks. In a new statement in response to Harrison and the other men's behaviour on the show, Women's Aid -a national charity working to end domestic abuse against women & children – released a statement to The Tab. 'In recent years, Love Island and other forms of reality TV have been repeatedly called out by viewers for allowing in contestants that had a history of abusive, coercive and manipulative behaviour in previous relationships. 'As a result, production companies have been more careful when it comes to selecting contestants and calling out toxic behaviours when we see them,' the statement started. Communications manager Jess Wyrne added, however, that 'despite these positive steps, we still see unhealthy patterns of behaviour on these shows, showing just how steeped in misogyny and sexism our society still is.' She continued: 'Women are often lied to, slut-shamed and manipulated, as well as laughed at behind their backs.' Warning of the links between misogyny and sexism leading to 'tolerance of abuse and violence' they added this publicly displayed behaviour 'reinforces a culture that excuses and trivialises violence against women and girls'. The charity has urged more to be done to 'educate contestants' on these issues and praised viewers for calling this toxic behaviour out when they see it. It is not the first time Women's Aid has had to step in during a season of Love Island. In 2022, the charity confirmed it was in talks with ITV regarding duty of care regarding relationships after a series of contestants such as Luca Bish and Dami Hope were called out for how they addressed the women in the villa. More Trending Then, in 2023, Women's Aid urged Love Island to take the accusations of 'controlling' behaviour against former contestant George Fensom seriously after his ex-partners spoke out against him. Meanwhile, per Glamour, Ofcom has reported over 1,000 complaints against the show in just a two-day period earlier this month, with the majority concerning 'a combination of alleged bullying and misogynistic behaviour by a number of contestants'. Love Island airs at 9pm on ITV2 every day except Saturday. View More » Metro has reached out to ITV for comment. Got a story?

Connie Francis dead at 87 as singer's hit Pretty Little Baby goes viral on TikTok
Legendary singer Connie Francis has died at the age of 87, her friend Ron Roberts has confirmed. The iconic singer Connie Francis has passed away at the age of 87. The country and pop sensation, known for her chart-topping hit 'Pretty Little Baby', was mourned by her friend Ron Roberts who confirmed her death. "It is with a heavy heart and extreme sadness that I inform you of the passing of my dear friend Connie Francis last night," he said on Thursday, July 17, adding: "I know that Connie would approve that her fans are among the first to learn of this sad news." Connie had been hospitalised earlier in the month and was admitted to the intensive care unit, leading her to cancel her scheduled July 4 Independence Day performance. Cousin Brucie, a radio personality, disclosed that Connie had been suffering from " extreme pain" in her pelvic area and had resorted to using a wheelchair. Just a few weeks prior to her passing, Connie updated her fans on her health, expressing gratitude for their prayers and good wishes. She shared her improved condition saying, "Today I am feeling much better after a good night, and wanted to take this opportunity of wishing you all a happy Fourth of July," reports the Mirror. Her classic song 'Pretty Little Baby' has recently found a new audience on TikTok, becoming a viral sensation as influencers lip-sync to its lyrics. Released originally in 1962, the song's resurgence over six decades later caught Connie's attention, who said she was "thrilled and overwhelmed" by the renewed affection for her music. Pretty Little Baby has been streamed over 74.8 million times on Spotify, and Connie admitted to having forgotten the track before its resurgence. "I didn't even remember the song," she revealed to People. "I had to listen to it to remember. To think that a song I recorded 63 years ago is touching the hearts of millions of people is truly awesome. It is an amazing feeling." Following Connie's passing, tributes have flooded in. One admirer expressed: "RIP Connie, thank you for all your beautiful songs and movies." Another shared their sorrow: "Very sad news. An amazingly talented and lovely lady." Another person shared their condolences: "I'm so sorry to hear this." A fourth tribute read: "May she rest in peace. She will always be in our hearts because of her music." Connie's fame peaked in the 1950s and 1960s with chart-toppers like Stupid Cupid, Lipstick on Your Collar, Who's Sorry Now, and Where the Boys Are. Who's Sorry Now soared to number one in the UK in 1958 and remained there for six weeks. Offstage, Connie disclosed her misdiagnosis with bipolar, ADHD, and attention-deficit disorder. Connie was married four times, though many of these unions were short-lived. She tied the knot with press agent Dick Kanellis in 1964 and later with hair-salon owner Izzy Marion in 1971, but they parted ways after 10 months. In 1973, she tied the knot with restaurateur Joseph Garzili and they adopted a baby boy named Joey. However, Connie and Joseph parted ways in 1977, and she later married TV producer Bob Parkinson in 1985, but their marriage ended that same year. She then embarked on a long-term relationship with Tony Ferretti from 2003 until his passing in 2022. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

MasterChef's future revealed following John Torode and Gregg Wallace's double axe
The future of BBC's MasterChef has been revealed after both hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode have been axed from the popular show The future of BBC's MasterChef has been 'revealed' as - John Torode and Gregg Wallace 's final series will reportedly still air - despite their double axing. Last December, it was reported that Grace Dent would be joining John Torode in the kitchen for the next series of Celebrtity MasterChef after Gregg Wallace stepped back from the show following allegations against him. John and Gregg had also filmed an amateur series - as BBC and Banijay UK intend to still broadcast both. Gregg Wallace's position on MasterChef became "untenable" after 45 out of 83 allegations of inappropriate behaviour were upheld following a seven-month investigation. John was also axed from the show earlier this week after he confirmed he was the person alleged to have used racist language. However, he said he had no memory of making the comment and denies it ever happened. The series, which has already been filmed and features celebrities including Love Island 's Uma Jammeh and TV personality Ashley Cain, will reportedly still be shown on the broadcaster 'once the dust has settled'. The report comes after BBC Director-General Tim Davie announced that the impact on the show's participants - would be a factor in whether the shows come to air or not. 'These past eight months have been truly hellish for all concerned," a source told The Sun. 'The BBC and Banijay have faced a moral and professional dilemma like never before. Obviously Gregg's case was more clear cut, but John being dragged through the mud wasn't what anyone wanted or expected to happen. 'But at the same time, and as a publicly funded body, the BBC has a duty to both provide entertainment as well as fulfil its obligations to cast, crew, contestants and viewers alike." The source then went on to say that hundreds of people who were involved in or worked on the shows would be "so bitterly disappointed" if they cancelled the show. They then claimed that the show will air "once the dust has settled and all the fuss died down." The BBC has been contacted by The Mirror for comment. In a lengthy statement following John's axe, the BBC said: 'John Torode has identified himself as having an upheld allegation of using racist language against him. This allegation, which involves an extremely offensive racist term being used in the workplace, was investigated and substantiated by the independent investigation led by the law firm, Lewis Silkin. John Torode denies the allegation. "He has stated he has no recollection of the alleged incident and does not believe that it happened. He also says that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. "The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously. We will not tolerate racist language of any kind and, as we have already said, we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode's contract on MasterChef will not be renewed.'
