Megan McKenna has revealed that Simon Cowell called her personally to tell her she no longer had a record deal - after winning X Factor. The former reality star, chef and singer, 32, won The X Factor: Celebrity in 2019 and was subsequently awarded a record deal by music mogul Simon, 65. But soon after it was announced that Syco Music would no longer be operational and artists would have to 'find a new home'. In a new interview Megan has described the moment Simon called her to explain what had happened. She told The Mirror: 'The label shut down after I won, so it was pretty hard. It was tough because I'd worked so, so hard. But Simon and I had a nice relationship. 'He actually rang me – which was crazy, because it's not every day Simon Cowell rings you – to say that the label was closing down. 'He was really nice about it and said, 'I'm sorry, but you need to find a new home.' But it's not an easy thing to do.' While Megan is still involved in music she is now a mum to her son Landon, nine months, with her husband Oliver Burke. The pair wed in a lavish ceremony earlier this summer surrounded by family and friends. They had a raucous party after saying 'I do' in front of their loved ones at Grantley Hall in North Yorkshire.

They also posted numerous clips of them pushing the little one in a pram around the luxurious hotel. Alongside the clip, she penned: 'A beautiful night on our honeymoon with a very hectic voiceover ♥️ 'We have hardly got dressed up this whole holiday because it's so hard to go for dinner due to Landon's bedtime! 'We tried putting him to sleep in the pram and doing a 8pm dinner and wow it affects his whole night sleep!!! So we've got it down to a T. 'I feed Landon his dinner at 6. I bath him we get ready and then go for a 7pm dinner to be back in the room for 8.30. Basically we inhale our dinner pretty rushed but oh well.' Last month they also shared an insight into their wedding day as she posted their professional video of their big day to Instagram.
