Megan presented Springwatch alongside her stepdad Chris Packham until he announced he was leaving the programme.

Speaking about breaking stereotypes, Megan told The Sun: "I like to wear makeup and I'm not ashamed of that.

"All my makeups Cruelty Free and Vegan. And I'm always conscious about kind of what I wear. But I like breaking stereotypes."

Despite the nature of her job, Megan says she likes to be a bit girly while outdoors in nature.

"I can wear a skirt and go bird watching at the same time," she said.

She continued: "That's totally fine. And I think those stereotypes are changing as they should, and it should be more accessible to more people, because that's the way we're gonna get more people interested in wildlife.

"I can wear a full face of makeup and go out for the day hiking in the mountains.

"Why not? So we need to break down their stereotypes and just be who we are."
