Love Island temptress Megan 'had a number of sugar daddies when she worked as a stripper... but was forced to QUIT job after dating a colleague'

She's had quite the controversial week in the Love Island villa, after leaving Eyal Booker for Wes Nelson, only to dump him in favour of new boy Alex Miller.

But Megan Barton-Hanson was reportedly quite the vixen before even joining the racy ITV2 show, as one of her former colleagues who worked with her at the Sunset Strip Club in Southend, Essex, has revealed that had a number of 'sugar daddies'.

In an interview with Heat magazine, the source said of the 24-year-old Essex model: 'She seems to date boys who buy her gifts. She's had a few sugar daddies. She dated a bouncer from the club, but he didn't have much money so that fizzled out.

'One of [the sugar daddies] used to come into work and bring her gifts, he bought her a guitar once, because she asked for it. I've not known her to steal anyone's boyfriend before, but [her behaviour on the show] doesn't surprise me.'

The former co-worker also went on to claim that Megan, who is said to have undergone a laundry list of cosmetic procedures totalling an estimated £25,000, was more interested in money and male company than friendships. 

They added: 'She's always seeking male attention... She seems more interested in making money... She has a spoilt brat syndrome - if Megan wants it, Megan gets it. She's definitely in it for the money and the fame.'

Megan's time working at the strip club allegedly came to an end after she got into a relationship with a member of staff and was forced to quit her job.

In an interview with The Sun, her former boss Anna Grech revealed that the 'stunning and polite' beauty fell foul after breaking the strict club rules. 

Anna said of Megan: 'She wasn’t sacked, but we have a rule. No one in my staff is allowed to get involved with the girls. Doormen, security, barmen whatever. She went out with one of the staff and I don’t agree with that, so she left.

'I didn’t sack her, if anything I told the staff to leave as the girls come and go as they’re self employed. I think she felt awkward about it and left.' 

On Monday night's episode of Love Island, Megan - who was officially single after her partner Eyal Booker was voted off the show - was seen recoupling with Alex Miller.

However, her decision came just days after she stole Wes Nelson, 20, away from Laura Anderson, 29 - only to swiftly move on from him once a fresh batch of boys entered the famous Majorca villa.

Earlier in the show, Megan was seen confiding in Laura and semi-pro footballer Jack Fincham over her decision to cut ties with Wes and pursue her blossoming romance with Alex.

Later speaking in the Beach Hut, Laura couldn't help but laugh that she had been dumped by Wes for Megan just days before, quipping that karma was 'a b***h'.  

And it wasn't only Wes who suffered the misfortune of having his partner turn their back on them, as the palpable re-coupling also saw Josh Denzel leave a loyal Georgia Steel heartbroken as he rebuffed her for Kazimir Crossley. 

The fatal blow even had presenter Caroline Flack seething as Josh described his new girl as 'mind blowing' and 'sensational' in front of an evidently lovelorn Georgia Steel.

Ouch! Having chosen to stay single in the hopes he could pick up where he left off with the gorgeous blonde, Wes, 20, was instead brushed aside
