Megan, 29, previously returned to the franchise as part of the international spin-off, Love Island Games.

She was joined alongside All Stars competitors including Georgia Steel, Toby Aromolaran, and Liberty Poole.

Fans were eagerly expecting her return to ITV2 screens as part of the new series, and some were somewhat surprised when she did not make an appearance.

Speaking with good pal Vicky Pattison, Megan did admit that she received the call up from producers and even took steps in casting.

"Do you know what, I was still up in the air. I done all the medical and everything," she admitted on the The Secret Too podcast.

"I was thinking, I knew I didn’t want to do the whole five weeks, like, it’s a long time to be away and so I thought I could go in near the end if there were any cute guys.

"But to be honest I think where I am 29, I think I would be in a very similar situation to Hannah Elizabeth.

"Our type of men is just different. All the boys seemed fun and they are stunning guys."

She added: "But for me at this age I just want an older guy."

This is not the first time she did a disappearing act after the star left fans baffled when she 'vanished' from the spin-off series set in Fiji.

But she was rushed to hospital with a fever after she was left unable to stand up straight.

She said: "Everyone was getting food poisoning out there because obviously Fiji it's different water - it's just different everything.

"At first I thought it was food poisoning but by day three of it, it was not good and you don't want to be in a villa full of hot people needing to use the bathroom constantly."

"I was sweating," Megan added to The .

"I couldn't even stand up straight because I had such bad abdominal pain and then they wanted to keep me in the hospital over there but I was like 'nah just get me home'."
