MEGAN McKenna is arguably one of the biggest star to come out of The Only Way is Essex in recent years.
She's also been on the box with her reality show There’s Something About Megan and had a successful single, giving Taylor Swift a run for her money - here's all you need to know about Megan...
Who is Megan McKenna?
Born Megan Elizabeth McKenna on September 26, 1992, Megan is the eldest of two sisters.
She grew up alongside her little sister Milly in Woodbridge, Essex.
Before becoming a reality star, Megan had dreamed of pursuing a career in music and attended ArtsEd Theatre School as a teen.
Although she played the violin, she focused her energies on becoming a singer, first appearing on our screens on Britain's Got Talent in 2009.
She joined Towie in early 2016, but by late 2017 she announced she was taking some "time off".
What is happening between Megan and Pete Wicks?
Megan and Pete started dating around April 2016 and things progressed when she joined Towie.
They even talked of “love” until they were rocked by a sex text scandal in September last year.
The couple reunited a few months later and were officially back together by December that year.
However, their rollercoaster romance hit the skids again in March 2017.
They seem to have split for good after emotional scenes aired on the most recent series of Towie on October 18.
Did Megan cheat on Pete and who is she dating now?
Soon after their break up, Megan was seen connected to her old flame, Harry Eden.
Liam Gatsby later threw himself into the mix and sensationally claimed he has evidence to prove Megan cheated on Pete – something her friends have strenuously denied.
What other shows has Megan been on besides Towie?
Megan appeared on BGT alongside a pal and got through to the semi-finals with their performance as singing duo Harmony in 2009.
Susan Boyle and Diversity also participated that year.
In 2015, she became a cast member on the third series of MTV's Ex on the Beach, which was set in Mexico.
She returned for the fourth series with then-boyfriend Jordan Davies - and they became engaged during the finale but split four months later.
In early 2016, she joined the seventeenth series of Celebrity Big Brother - and became a household name.
