Harriett reunited with ex Ronnie on the spin-off series and rekindled their romance, giving their relationship a second chance.
But The Sun revealed today that Ronnie and Harriett have called time on their relationship, just four months after getting back together.
Speaking to The Sun and other press, Megan was asked if she was looking for her own Ronnie.
But clearly oblivious that Ronnie and Harriett had split just hours before, Megan went on to praise the footballer for worshipping her pal.
Megan replied: "Yes, he [Ronnie] is obsessed with her [Harriett] and rightly so.
"I would love something like that."
The news of her friend's break-up would not have reached Megan, who is currently in hiding ahead of the new series.
The brunette beauty has over 3,000 followers on social media and she's sure to turn heads when she enters the villa.
Irish Megan, who hails from Dublin, is no stranger to a stunning selfie, and also likes to travel, according to her social media.
She works as an actress, and at the end of December she posted a snap from a press night at Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury, after starring in Cinderella.
The star is set to join a string of other sexy singletons for the 2025 summer series.
These include Rose Selway, who runs 12 aesthetics clinics, boasting a famous clientele including former Love Islanders Lucinda Strafford and Jessy Potts.
The 24-year-old beauty salon owner from Devon has passed the audition to join the cast of Love Island 2025.
Other faces set to appear on screen when the new episode airs include cheeky chappy Tommy Bradley, hunky 6'5' Aaron Buckett, who was the first name linked to this series, stunning Manchester model Shakira Khan and Sophie Lee, both revealed by The Sun.
ITV has revealed that Love Island 2025 will kick off on Monday, June 9.

Amy Hart's heartbreaking fertility struggle as she tries for second baby
Love Island's Amy Hart has revealed that while she and husband Sam Rason are trying for another baby, she has faced a secret fertility struggle - admitting it's 'hard' to talk about. Amy Hart has admitted that while she'd 'love' more children, she's struggling to conceive this time around due to a fertility struggle. The former Love Island star, w ho already shares son Stanley with husband Sam Rason, has shared that doctors have said her BMI is higher than optimum for getting pregnant, meaning she is now trying to lose weight in order to become a mum again. 31-year-old Amy rose to fame on the dating show in 2019 and is hosting the Love Island Podcast again this year. She explained to Mirror: "I'd love more children. We're trying at the moment. It's obviously not been as simple as it was with Stanley, but I'm manifesting and doing all the right things. !I'm doing intermittent fasting to try and lose some weight, because though my BMI is not crazy high, it's higher than what's recommended for the optimum weight for getting pregnant." She continued: "I feel like at the moment it's quite hard to talk about online. Once, hopefully, I have some good news, then I'll be able to share more and help others." During the exclusive interview, below, Amy also discussed how she is balancing life as a mum and the new series of Love Island, which kicks off on Monday. Amy, how are you? Busy, balancing work and mum life? You know, I like to try and be two people – I don't like to blur the lines of work and mum life. I like to keep my days with Stanley work-free and the days I am working, my family or my husband's family help out. My childcare arrangements are a bit crazy but Stanley has a great network of people. The other day I said to him, 'Who's your best friend?' And he was like, 'Auntie Jane!' Do you feel pressure to portray motherhood in a certain way online? No, I'm quite lucky in that Stanley is quite straightforward. People think that I don't show real motherhood, and I'm like, 'Well I'm showing my motherhood.' Because I chose not to show him crying, having a tantrum, not showing him if he ever went to the hospital, and people say that's not real life. I'm like, 'I just have boundaries with my child.' My guiding light is, if my husband put this on his story of me, would I be annoyed? If the answer is yes, I don't put it there. What's the funniest thing Stanley has said or done? Oh, it's probably more that he just has to run everywhere he goes, full pelt! And his speech is so funny. Everything is 'that's so cool' or 'oh goody'. He just keeps us laughing, constantly. And how's married life with Sam? It feels just like it did before, we both feel quite free. We are in such a good place, we have such a good time. We always say that we both knew we would get married at some point, but we never thought that we would meet someone we got on so well with.

I'd love more children. We're trying at the moment. It's obviously not been as simple as it was with Stanley, but I'm manifesting and doing all the right things. I'm doing intermittent fasting to try and lose some weight, because though my BMI is not crazy high, it's higher than what's recommended for the optimum weight for getting pregnant. I feel like at the moment it's quite hard to talk about online. Once, hopefully, I have some good news, then I'll be able to share more and help others. Any behind-the-scenes secrets from working on the Love Island podcast? I've heard it's gonna be the most dramatic series yet. I'm a superfan, so I almost, don't predict what happens, but I'm like, 'Oh I love this part.' But apparently that's all going to change this year, it's going to be completely different. We watch the episode live, so there's no way we can know about the drama ahead of the podcast. When we go on the pod, all our live reactions are fresh. What do you think of this year's islanders, who's your favourite? Well, there's a former British Airways hostess who started at Gatwick just like me, so that's really special. I think we know some of the same people. We love an air hostess. I'm really looking forward to seeing her. Are you still friends with islanders from your season? I love Amber [Gill], and everyone else, it's a bit like work colleagues. I don't live in London. I sort of have my own life down here. I love having a chat and seeing their news on Instagram, and when we see each other it's like no time has passed, but we don't live in each other's pockets. That's just life and part of growing up. How would you describe your confidence now compared to when you were on Love Island? I was about to jokingly say, I'm a lot heavier! But talking about confidence, I was only 57 kilos when I was on Love Island , and I was very self-conscious of my body, still. I wouldn't wear bandage dresses because I didn't think I had the body for it, whereas now, if I like a dress, then I will wear it. I also want pictures with my little boy on holiday, in the sea and on the beach. I don't want there to be a lot of, like, missing pictures and videos of his childhood, because I was a size 14. Making memories is more important.

Rathfriland literary festival celebrates Brontës' County Down link
The first literary festival to take place in Rathfriland will this weekend celebrate the Brontë family's connection to the Literary Festival will feature authors, poets and music in celebration of the area's contributions to the arts, both past and famous sisters' father was a clergyman in nearby Drumballyroney before moving to Ada Elliot told BBC News NI he had been "perhaps been overlooked" in the telling of the Brontë family story. 'Rathfriland is a spectacular area' Patrick Brontë was born Patrick Brunty in County Down in March 1777 - St Patrick's Day - explaining his first name - and changed his surname when he moved to England. Three of his children - Charlotte, Emily and Anne - became authors, with Charlotte writing Jane Eyre and Emily writing Wuthering Heights - both gothic romances set in the north of England, with strong psychological components. Anne Brontë wrote The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, which explores themes of social duty and the place of women in the Victorian world."Although the girls are not part of Rathfriland he (Patrick) has a long history here," festival organiser Ada Elliott told BBC Radio Ulster's Your Place and Mine programme."Rathfriland is a spectacular area. We're very proud of it and that's why we want to celebrate it." Historians through the years have speculated on whether Patrick Brontë's Irish roots might have influenced his daughter's writing, and even whether they might have had Irish Down celebrates those links. A signposted Brontë interpretive trail runs for 10 miles from an interpretive centre around Rathfriland and its surrounds, allowing visitors to drive through the area and imagine how the windswept Mournes might have influenced the father of girls whose writing was mystical, passionate and local historian Uel Wright believes more could be done."If you come here you cannot fail to see Brontë signs everywhere," he told BBC News NI. "Roads, homeland, library, nursery, steakhouse - all Brontë." Despite the wave of enthusiasm that led to those celebrations in the 1990s, the stone cottage where Patrick Brontë was born lies in ruins. Mr Wright hopes public money can be used to restore it and celebrate the link."My theory is that unless there's another generation of interest and enthusiasm to keep the Irish Brontë heritage alive, we're going to lose something very important." Mr Wright's great-great-uncle William Wright wrote a book on the Brontës in Wright believes those stories were based in oral history, in which his ancestor had a great interest, and he will examine them at a talk on Sunday in the schoolhouse where Patrick Brontë taught. "The whole Irish part of the story has gone out of fashion but with the upsurge of interest in oral history let's say - this is what we have in Ireland," he says."Let's celebrate it."Later on Sunday author Martina Devlin, who has written a novel based on Charlotte Brontë's honeymoon in County Offaly, will speak in the original church where he preached before leaving Ireland in 1802. The Rath Literary Festival started on Friday and runs until Sunday. It has been organised by the Rathfriland Women's Institute, Rathfriland Regeneration and Hilltown Community Association and will feature music and a one-woman show imagining the sisters in the modern day, by Pauline will read poems inspired by 19th Century women caught up in the criminal justice and mental health systems, and a walking tour will tell the stories of famous Rathfriland residents down the years. The festival was the brainchild of Margot Groves, who said: "We are delighted to be bringing such a wealth of talent to Rathfriland. There is something for everyone to enjoy no matter which genre they prefer." And did the Brontë sisters have Irish accents?"It wouldn't be surprising," says Uel Wright."Patrick never made great pretensions with his accent."I don't suppose we'll ever really know but it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility."
