Love Island's Maura Higgins lookalike Megan Clarke reveals what she REALLY thinks about being compared to show legend
LOVE Island's new Maura Higgins lookalike has sympathy for her fellow Irish beauty after she snogged married McFly guitarist Danny Jones. Musical theatre student Megan Forte Clarke, 24, from Dublin, said she is flattered by comparisons to Maura, who is ten years older and appeared as a bombshell on the ITV dating show in 2019. 3 3 But asked how she felt about Maura's now infamous kiss with Danny, 39, at a Brit Awards after-party in London earlier this year, Megan said: 'We've all had a drunken kiss.' Megan, who is set to enter the ITV2 villa tomorrow, has drawn comparisons to Maura thanks to her Irish accent and glamorous brunette looks. She said: 'I love Maura — what a compliment. She's an icon. 'She is like the Queen of Ireland. So if people are comparing me to her, then cheers, love that, thank you.' Meanwhile, Megan, who calls herself the 'modern day Bridget Jones', said she has been single for nearly three years after her university boyfriend cheated on her. She added: 'We were on and off for about a year during my first year at university and I've been single since. 'We met at uni [The Brighton Academy] — musical theatre boys are never a good idea.' Asked if it ended on good terms, she said: 'No. No, God, no! He cheated on me quite a bit. The girls were none the wiser. 'So I would never blame a girl in that sense, but I definitely confronted him. He felt my wrath. I didn't really get any revenge. I think ignorance is bliss, so he was blocked. I haven't spoken to him since.' 'Hell and horror' Of her recent dating life, she said: 'It has been more than two years of hell and horror. ITV are celebrating ten years of Love Island with a huge TV celebration featuring the show's biggest stars 'I've been asked on a walk for a date. I'm like, 'That's brilliant, I love being a dog'. 'It is just never good and then they ghost you. So many frogs.' But the boys of the villa will be pleased after Megan revealed she has stocked up on bikinis and sexy outfits for The Hideaway — the villa's private area where Islanders can spend time together alone. She said: 'Yeah, I have shopped till I dropped. I feel like you can't be too prepared with stuff like that. 'Better to be over prepared than underprepared. 'So I've got a lot of options for bikinis and night time.' But the Dublin -born beauty said she will be keeping things real by wearing her plastic retainer to bed after having braces during her university years. She said: 'That's always humbling when you're comfortable around a boy and you are clicking it out in the morning.' But of wearing braces, she added: 'I think a lot of boys actually quite liked it, which I was surprised by.' 'I've had a little flirt' Megan revealed that she has been given strict instructions by her mum to keep things PG in the villa. She said: 'My mum's been like, 'Meg, please do not have sex in the villa'. I don't think I would anyway — too exposing.' Megan, who currently works in telesales, said she has not had any office romances, but cannot resist charming her colleagues. She revealed: 'I've had a little flirt here and there because, you know, you have to make work life fun, but nothing has come of it.' Last Christmas, the beauty starred as one of the ugly step-sisters in a Christmas pantomime of Cinderella in Tewkesbury, Gloucs. She said: 'To be fair, they were meant to be Kardashian-esque and ugly on the inside. 'So I got to wear fabulous costumes. I had a ball.' Hopefully, in the villa, she will meet her own Prince Charming.

Carer who died in house fire was a 'son, brother, partner, friend and rock'
The funeral service for Kevin Kelly, who died in a house fire in Casla, Co Galway earlier this week has heard that he was born 14 days after his due date and did things his own way from that point on. Mr Kelly (31) died alongside Sunny Jacobs (76) when a fire broke out at her cottage at Gleannicmurrin in Casla on Wednesday morning. Advertisement Mr Kelly was a carer for Ms Jacobs. He also looked after her husband Peter Pringle prior to his death in 2023. Kevin's younger sister Jill told mourners at the Discovery Church on the Tuam Road this afternoon that he was a free spirit who lived to help others. Kevin was born in Dublin but moved to Inishmore with his family at the age of four. The Kelly family subsequently re located to Athenry. Jill said that Kevin loved 'the tranquil life surrounded by the community of Connemara". Mourners were told that Kevin loved dogs even though he was bitten in the face by one at a young age. Jill said that there was a lesson to be learned in how Kevin moved on from this frightening experience and ended up volunteering for the dog welfare charity MADRA. Advertisement Jill said that his time in MADRA was a 'life-changing experience' for her older brother. 'It was where his love of dogs was truly discovered and it was where he met his beautiful (partner) Sheree. Sheree told me this week that the first time she went out to MADRA to volunteer she got out of the car and she said to Kev 'Where do you keep the pit bulls? "And that was it. He was hook, line and sinker (in love). Sheree you and Kevin were made for each other and he loved you so much.' Jill added that they had lost 'a son, a brother, a partner, friend and rock". Kevin is survived by his mother Fiona, his father Ken, Ken's partner Maureen and her son Jonathan, Kevin's partner Sheree, his siblings Jill and Cúán, brothers-in-law Conor and Kal, his nieces and nephew, extended family, friends and neighbours. Following the service a cremation took place this afternoon in Shannon Crematorium at 4pm.

Love Island star who replaced axed Kyle Ashman admits breaking show rules AFTER signing up
LOVE Island star Conor Phillips has admitted to breaking show rules AFTER signing up to the programme. The Irish rugby player, 25, is entering the villa in the ITV dating show's latest series. 4 4 4 He replaced the originally announced Kyle Ashman, who was sent packing from Majorca just days ahead of the series launch after it emerged he'd been quizzed by cops over a violent attack that took place in February. Speaking to press, Conor revealed he'd sought advice from past winner Greg O'Shea. Islanders are forbidden from revealing their involvement in the series before entering the villa. Fellow Irish rugby player Greg, 30, won series five alongside Amber Gill. Conor shared: "I know Greg through rugby circles so I spoke to him about going on Love Island. "He just said 'be yourself, it's a really really really cool experience that not many people get. "So enjoy it and yeah take it day by day and if you can be yourself you can't really go too far wrong'. "So that's my plan. He was like 'my advice might be a bit different from others because I won'." He added: "I'm 25 and I've only had one relationship and it wasn't very long. "So I feel like I'm maybe doing something wrong or maybe I'm not in the right places. Love Island Stars Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint Split After Ibiza Getaway "So, hopefully that this is the right place and it should be you know because you're in a lovely villa surrounded by beautiful people, so I'm hoping that this is the one." Kyle has since spoken out about being axed s aying: 'I fully co-operated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. 'I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.' Masked thugs stormed a wake in Stafford and hacked at a dad with a blade in February. Ashman, 23, was one of two quizzed but released with no further action. Sources said the channel was unaware of the incident and he was not flagged as part of contestant checks. The victim, 38, nearly lost his arm. He was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment and kept in for around two weeks. Another mourner was glassed, one struck with a metal pole, and two people run over by a car during the 15 minutes of terror at a social club in Stafford. Ashman, who lives in the town, was one of two men to be nicked on suspicion of affray then bailed. Love Island 2025 full lineup Harry Cooksley: A 29-year-old footballer with charm to spare. Sophie Lee: A model and motivational speaker who has overcome adversity after suffering life-changing burns in an accident. Shakira Khan: A 22-year-old Manchester-based model, ready to turn heads. Blu Chegini: A boxer with striking model looks, seeking love in the villa. Meghan Moore: A payroll specialist from Southampton, looking for someone tall and stylish. Alima Gagigo: International business graduate with brains and ambition. Tommy Bradley: A gym enthusiast with a big heart. Helena Ford: A Londoner with celebrity connections, aiming to find someone funny or Northern. Ben Hullbra: A model ready to make waves. Megan Clarke: An Irish actress already drawing comparisons to Maura Higgins. Dejon Noel-Williams: A personal trainer and semi-pro footballer, following in his footballer father's footsteps. Aaron Buckett: A towering 6'5' personal trainer. Conor Phillips: A 25-year-old Irish rugby pro Departures: Kyle Ashman: Axed after an arrest over a machete attack emerged. He was released with no further action taken and denies any wrongdoing. Police confirmed that after the matter had been investigated the pair were released with no further action only last month. A source said: 'This was a horrific attack which could have been even worse. 'Ashman may have signed up to one of the biggest shows on TV with this hanging over his head.' It is not suggested that Ashman, whose job involves laying and repairing water pipes, was involved in the attack. 4
