Megan Barton-Hanson has claimed she was forced to delete OnlyFans before her Love Island stint.
Speaking on the Smut Drop podcast, the 28-year-old model recounted the pressure she felt from a producer of the ITV series to drop her affiliation with the site, which she had before entering the villa.
Megan said that she was encouraged to abandon her OnlyFans, which she also confirmed as her “main source of income”, and followed that advice as she was told it “wouldn’t be good for her or the show’s image”.
On the podcast, Megan said: “Before I went on Love Island, I had OnlyFans and it was the production team who said, ‘Look, this is a family show.
“‘I don’t think you should have this. It’s not good for your image. It’s not good for the show’s image and ITV’.
“So, I begrudgingly got rid of OnlyFans because I thought, ‘I’m gonna be on TV.'”
During the interview, Megan also said that there are “certain TV channels” which blacklisted her after she rejoined OnlyFans upon her exit from the show.

She added: “We’re moving in the right direction and OnlyFans is becoming more socially acceptable but there still is a lot of stigma around it and a lot of judgement.
“Certain TV channels won’t work with me now and it’s something that you have to think about before you get into it because of other people’s judgements.”
Megan’s podcast appearance follows her joining forces with Lottie Moss in LA to produce more fiery content for the Adult-only website.

Following a string of relationships with women including Chelcee Grimes and Demi Sims, Megan began dating TOWIE star James Lock.
Their relationship didn’t last and Megan recently revealed that she had a bust up with their Ex on the Beach co-star Rudi Hewitt after he suggested she and James have a ‘threesome’ with her ex-girlfriend Emelle Smith.
Daily Star has approached Love Island for comment.
