The 25-year-old passed up the opportunity after watching the series - saying "no one was my type".
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?'

"I said 'well, nothing's changed, I've been on no dates, I'm still single, so what have I got to lose?'"
Megan's looking for someone tall, with a nice tan, nice eyes and a nice smile.

"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."

Laura Anderson cruelly holiday-shamed by trolls as she shows off luxury trip with boyfriend
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LAURA Anderson has been cruelly holiday-shamed by trolls after showing off her luxury trip with boyfriend Clark Robertson. The former Love Island, 36, has kept fans up-to-date on her holiday to the Maldives with footballer Clark, 31. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Laura and boyfriend Clark jetted to the Maldives for a luxury break Credit: Instagram 3 But some fans weren't impressed that Laura had the trip gifted to her Credit: Instagram 3 However others pointed out that it's Laura's job as an influencer to promote companies Credit: Instagram Laura, who shares 21-month-old daughter Bonnie with ex Gary Lucy, shared a series of highligh snaps from the getaway - telling followers it was gifted to her. And some were quick to hit out at the TV star for being given the freebie. One wrote: "I don't understand society! "I mean, I get it I get why companies give free holidays like this to promote, but imagine if they allowed people who wouldn't normally experience these types of things and let them promote on social media. "Like underpaid nurses, doctors paramedics firemen and women the people that put out so much into society." But some pointed out that it's Laura's job as an influencer to promote companies. One said: "It's called a PR stay. It's her job, she has over 1.5 million followers she is able to promote this to. It's how she earns a living." Laura and Clark - who plays for Dundee - went public with their relationship in October last year. And she later revealed the surprise way they got together. Laura told The Sun: "It's not very romantic, he messaged me online and I saw it about three years later and replied and here we are. Love Island's Laura Anderson gives tour of her HUGE new mansion with en-suite rooms and garden so big it could be a park "I didn't make it public for a little bit, but we've been together for a little bit. "It's nice, it's chilled, no drama, just simple. A good Scottish boy, I can't complain."
