Having bonded with Kristina Rihanoff during their time in the CBB house earlier this year, Megan stayed in contact with the former Strictly Come Dancing star and was consequently cast in her West End show alongside Gleb Savchenko, earlier in the year. 

Kristina listened to Megan sing while they spent the same season of CBB together and booked her for the one-night-only show last month, when Megan said how 'thrilled' she was to be asked. 

'I didn’t have to think twice,' she said of the casting. 'Making my West End debut singing on stage with some of the most talented dancers in the world accompanying me truly is a dream come true.'

The TV personality has been desperate for years to be recognised for her singing ability more than anything else, and her slog through the realms of reality TV has finally allowed her to do this.

Before the show on Sunday, she treated fans to photos of her backstage in the stunning cherry red gown.

She posed for the camera in the satin floor-length backless number, showing off her delicately curled brunette locks which she wore loosely behind her shoulders.

'It's show time!' was her caption, before posting a second shot of her in the wings with an array of backstage crew around her, holding out her dress's train in all directions, creating an almost winged effect.

'Just chilling backstage...' she quipped in the caption.
