Megan Barton Hanson has finally addressed her abrupt exit from Love Island Games.
Fans were baffled when she suddenly disappeared from the international spin-off, with narrator Iain Stirling simply announcing she left for ‘medical reasons’.
Before she left the villa, Megan was confronted by her Love Island ex Eyal Booker during a game of Snog, Marry or Pie, and despite teasing a potential reconciliation when they started flirting in the villa, Eyal chose to ‘pie’ her in the game.
Reflecting on her time on the show, the 29-year-old model mused: ‘I’m too honest, I went for what I wanted. I tried to put it on Eyal, but he’d already got with somebody.
‘After dropping that bomb, I had to leave for the hospital and everyone said, “She went because Eyal pied her!”‘

Addressing her health woes, Megan explained: ‘I got these terrible cramps. It lasted a few days, I remember beads of sweat dripping down my face. I was not OK – at one point I couldn’t stand.
‘I knew it wasn’t going to translate on-screen and people would just think I was being bitter. It couldn’t have been timed worse.’
Around the time of filming, Megan told her Instagram followers she had been suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease.
The NHS states that Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the female reproductive system which includes the womb, fallopian tubes and ovaries.
PID is a common condition, although it’s not clear how many people in the UK are affected.
If diagnosed at an early stage, PID can be treated with a course of antibiotics, which usually lasts for 14 days.
Reaching out to her followers in September, Megan asked: ‘Which one of my queens have ever suffered from pelvic inflammatory disease?
‘I’ve never heard of it but think i may have had my first experience, I’ve not had pain or fever quite like it. The last 5 days have been hell.
‘If you have any good Essex/London based Gynaecologists, please let me know or any tips or remedies for the pain and to stop it reoccurring.’
Megan and Eyal, 28, both appeared on series four of UK Love Island and had sex on screen soon after coupling up but swiftly ending their romance when he criticised her sexual appetite
Megan and Eyal, 28, both appeared on series four of UK Love Island and made a connection in the villa.
They had sex on screen soon after coupling up but swiftly ending their romance when he criticised her sexual appetite.
Megan went on to couple up with Wes Nelson and they reached the final, but their romance was short-lived and they split five months after leaving the villa.
Eyal and Megan’s dalliance later sparked a bizarre row with The Kardashians star Scott Disick.
Megan revealed Scott, 40, had slid into her direct messages to demand she apologise to Eyal for treating him badly on Love Island.
Scott told Megan that he was ‘disgusted’ by her behaviour and ‘extremely disturbed’ after watching the ITV2 series.
Scott’s defensive remarks came days after he confirmed his then-romance with Amelia Hamlin, who is the younger sister of Eyal’s then-girlfriend Delilah Belle Hamlin.
Megan shared the random correspondence on her Instagram Story, telling her fans she was left ‘speechless’ and ‘genuinely concerned’ by Scott’s messages.

Scott said: ‘Hey, I recently saw your program Love Island. I had a few questions for you about it. Let me know when you’re around to speak about it,’ to which Megan replied: ‘Hey you… What do you wanna know? x’
He continued: ‘I was recently introduced to a beautiful man, named Eyal, when I went to see what he’s done on TV, I was astonished by your behaviour.
‘To find you mugging him off and taking full advantage of his unbelievably beautiful sense of humour and vulnerability – I’m extremely disturbed that anyone could be so disrespectful to somebody for no good reason.’
Sharing a screenshot of the messages, Megan wrote: ‘It’s not often I’m left speechless but… sorry!? What have I just read? Genuinely a little concerned about Scott tho’.
