“The vibe of the album is me as a person, an all-rounder, not just about relationships.

“This is my time to show my side of feelings and emotions... but it’s definitely not a slagging match, it’s very personal.

Megan, who will appear on the next series of Celebs Go Dating, spent the past 12 months focusing on releasing her album.
