They both have questionable reputations – while she’s nicknamed “Mental Megs” for her epic temper tantrums, he’s been labelled “Muggy Mike” for his Lothario behaviour. But Megan McKenna – who revealed last week she was ready to marry boyfriend Mike Thalassitis – tells Closer she and the Love Island star bring out the best in each other and they’re determined to defy their critics.

She says, “They called him ‘Muggy Mike’ – but I got to know him with a clear head and no judgement. Honestly, he’s the loveliest boy. He hasn’t given me any reason to doubt him – he puts me first and makes me feel secure. And I’ve calmed down a lot – I just don’t get so worked up any more. Mike handles me well – he makes me more calm, which I’ve not had before with a boyfriend.”

The TOWIE-star-turned-singer, 25, adds that the pair are ready to settle down and start a family in the next few years.

She says, “If Mike proposed tomorrow, I’d say yes! I’m ready to marry him. I can 100 per cent see myself with him forever. I want a family one day and I think Mike and I would make beautiful tanned babies!”

TUMULTUOUS LOVE LIFE

Megan has had a number of roller-coaster relationships with fellow reality stars. While on Ex On The Beach in 2015 she first dated Stephen Bear before moving on with Jordan Davies, whom she was briefly engaged to.
