Former Love Island contestant, Megan Barton Hanson has opened up about her leaked video on a porn site during her time at the show. 

Megan talked about the explicit video and told Grazia magazine: "I'm going to try and get it taken down. But I think once people have seen it, they've seen it and we've all got a vibrator… (Laughs) Let a girl live!"

Megan talked about all the sexist comments she faced during her time in the villa. She was constantly criticized and called a 'player' for dating different men before choosing the one, her current boyfriend Wes Nelson. Adam Collard, another contestant at the villa, had multiple love interests as well but no one pointed fingers at him.

"People definitely do give girls a harder time than men - look at Adam, how many girls did he go through? It's sexist. They're painting me out to be the biggest player, but it's a dating show and I tested the water," she shared.

"It's 2018, and women are still getting stick for acting like men, I don't see why we're not equal. Even with the fact that I had sex in the villa, I'm open about that. Women enjoy sex just as much as men. Like, why can't we say it? We should empower each other."

The 24-year-old previously worked as a stripper and was also a fashion model for a year before she entered the reality show. She faced harsh criticism by other contestants at the villa for her career choices. They had even accused her of being an escort but Megan denied those accusations.  

As for being a stripper, Megan said, "I did it for a year – I got in, I got out, I earned my money, I didn't hurt anyone, I don't see why it's so negative," she said. "Men enjoyed it, I enjoyed it, couples came in… everyone is happy."
