Megan & Conor Actually Knew Each Other Before Love Island… Sort Of

Ireland’s own Megan Forte Clarke was dumped from the Love Island villa last week.

Sad times. Someone who was also sad was Conor, for a whole 24 hours before he decided that he was more than happy to get to know a few other people.

Fair enough, honestly.

Before Megan’s departure after being voted the least popular girl in the villa, she and Conor had struck up a relationship, much to the chagrin of Tommy.

Their romance was cut short, unfortunately, but in a strange twist of events, it appears the two actually knew each other before the show.

Or rather, Conor knew Megan.

Megan told the Six O’Clock Show: “People keep saying that I knew him before, but he followed me on Instagram four years ago. He told me this on the first day.

“And I never followed him back… still to this day he follows me on TikTok and has like commented on one of my old TikToks.

“I didn’t know until I came out. So he’s been trying for four years bless him. So he finally got his chance.”

Since Megan left the villa, Conor has kissed Shakira (in a challenge) and coupled up with new Irish islander Billykiss. 

Megan said she didn’t mind the kiss, saying on Aftersun: “Do you know what? Fair enough, like if it couldn’t have been me, should have been Shakira, she’s my twin in there. At least she looks a bit like me.”

Conor has also said that he could see Megan as his girlfriend on the outside.

Whether he makes good on this prediction remains to be seen.
