Love Island couple will come face to face after bitter split as show legend returns for The Games
FORMER Love Island couple Eyal Booker and Megan Barton Hanson will come face to face, five years after their bitter split.
Eyal, 28, and Megan, 29, shot to fame on the ITV2 show in 2018, becoming the first couple to have sex in the villa that year.
The pair’s romance in the villa lasted just days and came to a messy end when Megan famously had sex with co-star Wes Nelson, 25, while wearing Eyal’s hoodie.
Now, Eyal and Megan are both returning for The Games spin-off, which will debut in the US on Peacock on November 1, and on ITV at a later date.
Their televised fallout was bizarrely dredged back up again in 2020 when US reality star Scott Disick messaged Megan on Instagram asking her to apologise for the way she treated Eyal.
At the time, Scott was dating Real Housewives of Beverly Hill star Lisa Rinna‘s then 19-year-old model daughter, Amelia Hamlin. Her sister Delilah, 25, was Eyal’s girlfriend.
The request left Megan “speechless” and she shared the DM with her followers.
Scott said: “Hey I recently saw your program love island. I had a few questions for you about it. Let me know you’re around to speak about it.”
She replied: “Hey you.. what do you wanna know? x?”
Scott responded: “I was recently introduced to a beautiful man named Eyal. When I went to see what he’s done on TV I was astonished by your behaviour.
“To find you mugging him off and taking full advantage of his unbelievably beautiful sense of humour and vulnerability.
“I’m extremely disturbed that anybody could be so disrespectful to somebody for no good reason.
“I would like to know if you’d be willing to write him an apology.”
Maya Jama will host the series, which will see stars from the various international editions of the show live in Fiji together, competing in various challenges.
Curtis Pritchard, Jack Fowler, Mike Boateng, Liberty Poole, Georgia Steel, Scott Van Der Sluis and Toby Aromolaran will also take part.
Megan famously clashed with Georgia while in the villa, which should make The Games interesting.
