Reality star Megan Barton Hanson dated a multi-millionaire 30 years her senior who provided her with a luxury apartment and a £30,000 Land Rover.
Paul Chaplin, 55, opens up for the first time about his wild, 18-month romance with the bisexual former Love Island contestant.
He says he also treated the ex-stripper, 25, to holidays on private jets, and designer shoes and lingerie worth thousands of pounds.
And though Megan is now dating singer Chelcee Grimes, 27, Paul said: “We could have lunch anytime. She could bring her girlfriend. It would be great.”

The entrepreneur said Megan was one of several women he was seeing at the time, but she was his favourite.
Paul says: “I helped Megan with an apartment, I don’t know how much it cost. It was a two-bedroom 1,500-square foot apartment.
“I got her a Land Rover Evoque and I would take her shopping whenever we met.

“I don’t know how many pairs of Louboutins I bought her and it wasn’t just them, it was Jimmy Choos and everything else. When I meet a girl for a date I always get them a nice dress, a nice pair of heels, Agent Provocateur underwear. It’s just nice.
“Megan was lovely and we had lots of fun.”
Paul has previously admitted keeping a harem of “hunny bunnies” who he would provide with apartments and cars.
In 2013, he ended up in court when one, Natasha Eustace, 25, refused to return a £300,000 flat in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, after they split – a case he lost.
He also admits using prostitutes but insists: “I did not pay Megan for sex. Megan was not an escort.”
Paul first met her at an adult entertainment awards ceremony in 2017, before she found fame.
At the time the lawyer and tax advisor owned two of the biggest top-shelf companies in the world.
Speaking from his £4.2million mansion in Barnet, north London, Paul revealed: “At some point Meg pinched my bum. I returned the compliment and we were off.”
The playboy admits seeing half a dozen women during the year and a half he was with Megan, but she was the one he would treat to holidays on private jets.
He said: “We would go out for dinner and a show. One of our favourite restaurants was Signor Sassi in Knightsbridge.

“We went to Tenerife on holiday and it was fabulous.” The pair split in 2018 shortly before Love Island.
Paul said: “She gave back the apartment. I’m not sure what happened to the car but we are still friends.”
Paul was declared bankrupt in 2018 after companies he gave tax advice to – including Glasgow Rangers – got into trouble with HMRC.
It was ruled he failed to pay back creditors almost £16m.
He is now a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapy practitioner and just released a self-help book called I Want to Love But: Releasing the Power of You.
