She was approached again this year to be in the original line-up and will make her debut on Monday.
"I was in a Whatsapp group that was to keep me updated on the show.
"I'd tell them who I fancied and would my top three be.

"It just got to the point where I felt like I wouldn't really have fitted in or that I would really get on with that person.
"They always kept me in the loop and then it just all happened really quickly and I didn't really think about it, I was still living my normal life.
"So then obviously it came around again this year, and they said, 'Meg, would you go for it again?'

"He needs to have a good fashion sense and a really good, funny personality that I can get on with," she added.
But her biggest ick is men in flip-flops and bad hygiene.
If she does manage to find her type on paper, Megan is prepared for a showdown if someone tries to steal her man.
"I'll probably be in the thick of the drama.
"I don't cause it, it just comes to me, so.
"But at the same time, if you're going to try and steal my man, you're going to get the drama."

I went to the Soap Awards and here's everything you DIDN'T see on TV – from axed speeches to onstage blunders
THE British Soap Awards returned to screens last night after having been mysteriously axed for 2024. The ceremony, screened on ITV, was 3 Jane McDonald was back to host the Soap Awards Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 EastEnders legend Patsy Palmer gave a memorable speech Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 Soap legend Denise Welch had an unaired blunder Credit: Shutterstock Editorial However, The Sun can exclusively reveal a number of moments which were pulled from ITV's final broadcast - including a series of faux pas' from former soap stars as well as heavily edited speeches from Jaime Winstone and One moment that failed to make it to air involved former soap star Jan Pearson, who played Karen Hollins in She made a triumphant comeback to the Soap Awards stage following the programme's cancellation in order to present the gong for Best On-Screen Partnership. Read more on Soap Awards Jan was stood alongside co-star Chris Walker to hand out the gong to EastEnders duo Rudolph Walker and Angela Wynter. However, she was forced to read out the nominations a total of THREE times. And whilst one audience mole suggested on X the re-records took place as a result of the loud cheers for Corrie pair Vicky Myers and Alison King, The Sun can reveal an entirely different reason was behind the triple taping. Actress Jan suffered an on-stage coughing fit which saw her struggle to read out the names of the nominees. Most read in Soaps She gave it three goes but was affected by her tickly throat each time. The second and third attempts were both filmed after the gong was handed out with the audience already aware of exactly who had won. British Soap Awards viewers accuse ITV of 'cutting out' chants for EastEnders actress Elsewhere, whilst hostess Jane was on top form for most of the evening, there were a handful of occasions where she was forced to do a series of re-takes despite the ceremony supposedly filming as live. One audience member told The Sun: 'The warm-up guy made it clear from the start that they were recording the ceremony as live and so everyone had to be on their best behaviour. 'It also put a lot of pressure on Jane as she was expected to rattle through her hosting duties without a hitch but with so many links to record, she was bound to mess up on a few of them.' Just moments after the show kicked off, Jane was forced to re-record one of her links about hunky Coronation Street star Jacob Roberts. The actor, who plays lothario copper PC Kit Green, caught Jane's eye and she was quick to make a joke about his good looks. However, she tripped up over her own words and was left rad-faced as she admitted she had become too flustered thinking about Jacob. The audience erupted into laughter as Jane attempted to brush off her hilarious mishap and instead re-told her joke just seconds into the event. The moment left Jacob looking down at the ground after unexpectedly becoming the centre of attention. Someone else who suffered an embarrassing blunder was awards presenter Denise Welch. She was also forced into re-filming her entire segment after a blunder with her very own CHEE award. As part of a skit, Denise was handed a joke prize by Shirlie Kemp to mark her achievement of having played roles in all four major soaps . The trophy was made out of items connected to each of the four soaps but Denise held her prize back to front meaning the audience and cameras could not see what she was referring too. Just before handing out the award for Best Newcomer, Denise was halted by bosses and instructed to re-do the entire segment again and have the trophy facing the crowd. One onlooker told The Sun: 'Denise was referring to the trophy being connected to all four soaps but no one could see anything. 'It led to a lot of blank and unimpressed expressions on the soap stars faces when the cameras cut to a close-up hoping to get a hilarious reaction from them. 'It fell a bit flat but Denise was able to pick the mood back up when she was told of her error.' During the ITV broadcast, clever camera trickery saw the award facing the correct way as Denise gave her speech.

Fans divided as Tom Felton reprises role as Draco Malfoy for Broadway
Social media have had their say after it was announced that Tom Felton would be reprising his role as Draco Malfoy on Broadway. Tom starred as Harry Potter's school bully in the eight-part film series based on the books, with him regularly speaking about the role that he played for nearly a decade since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 released in 2010. Now, it's been revealed that Tom will be picking up the wand once again, when he reprises his role as Malfoy for Harry Potter: The Cursed Child from November of this year. Pic: Marechal Aurore/ABACA/Shutterstock 'Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honours of my life,' Tom said of becoming Malfoy once again. 'Joining this production will be a full-circle moment for me, because when I begin performances in Cursed Child this fall, I'll also be the exact age Draco is in the play.' Despite some fans being happy to see Tom return as Malfoy, others have said that it's a sign of him not being able to let go of the role. 'Gun to the back of your head name 5 Tom Felton roles that isn't him playing Draco Malfoy,' one person wrote on Twitter (X), while another wrote 'He is the only member of the original Harry Potter cast who hasn't moved on.' Tom Felton is reprising his role as Draco Malfoy for the 'HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD' stage show on Broadway. — DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) June 5, 2025 Another shared a quote from fellow Harry Potter actress Miriam Margoyles, who previously said of her time in the film 'it was 25 years ago and it's for children,' while another added 'kind of sad that he doesn't get any other opportunities to exist outside of this role… even the top 3 kids have been able to shake their HP characters and do other stuff.' However, some people were on board with Tom being on the show — with one writing 'Can't believe Tom Felton is actually reprising his role as Draco Malfoy! Filming for the Harry Potter films ended in 2010. 15 years later, he will play Draco once again. How cool is that?' Tom played Draco in all eight films in the Harry Potter series, and appeared in several other films, including Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Burial. Tom played Draco in all eight films, and will reprise the role for the first time in 15 years.
