This series has a new twist with the Shack of Secrets, which will cause havoc by unveiling new exes and setting secret missions. But who will be paired and then pulled apart by the Tablet of Terror?

Whatever else kicks off in the villa, all eyes will be on Megan and James, who had a whirlwind romance after the MTV show was filmed last year, then split in December.

“A lot of people said he was the boy version of me, so I was like, we probably won’t get on, but we got on… so that was nice,” says Megan.

But she adds, “I wasn’t looking for love. It was more of an experience.”

Here, new catches up with Megan to hear her take on the sun-soaked series…
