Love Island star Megan Barton-Hanson has admitted she was worried about getting trolled for having sex with two boys in the villa.
The model was a late arrival to the villa back in 2018, and caused chaos when she waltzed into the Spanish hideaway on day eight for a romp with .Eyal Booker
After initially being coupled up with Eyal Booker, Megan her sights on Wes Nelson, who was already dating islander Laura Anderson.
However, their attraction was too strong, and Wes eventually told a furious Laura that he wanted to couple up with Megan instead, leaving her brokenhearted.
The loved-up couple then hit the headlines when their raunchy bedroom sessions were caught on camera, but Megan has no regrets about her sex life being watched by millions of viewers.
However, she admits she did think twice about jumping into bed with Wes as she was worried about the public's reaction.
"People had strong opinions about me because I went for what I wanted. I didn't hold back. I kissed probably half the boys in the villa before I decided it was Wes I wanted to be with,” she told The Sun.
"It's not nice to read the comments afterwards. But if you're getting with someone you can see yourself falling in love with, it's irrelevant.
"I did think, 'I've had sex with one person in the villa, maybe I shouldn't have sex with someone else'. But my feelings for Wes were so genuine, I couldn't spend every waking moment with him and not do it."
She did reveal her frustration at the types of questions she faced after leaving the Love Island villa, and said that Wes faced a much better reaction to their bedroom antics than she did.
"When Wes and I were interviewed afterwards, I would always be asked if I regretted having sex on TV and if my parents were embarrassed. They didn't ask Wes,” Megan fired.
"It's as if people wanted me to be ashamed, but I'm not going to be."
She continued: “Men have it so easy. There is still so much stigma around women even saying they enjoy sex, let alone doing it on national TV.”
Megan hopes that the women on this year’s hotly-anticipated series turn up the heat in the villa.
She urged this year's stars not to "hold back" and told them it's important to let go and have fun.
Megan and Wes had a good run in the villa after coupling up, eventually finishing in fourth place in the 2015 series.
The show was won by Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer, who stayed together for several months before splitting.
Love Island returns on ITV2 tonight at 9pm.
