The couple broke up and Megan accused Vanessa of tactically breaking up with her boyfriend to steal Wes away in a snarky post on Instagram. Megan is one of Love Island’s more controversial stars, but that doesn’t stop her earning more than £7k per post, and brands seem to be lining up to work with her.
