Love Island star Megan Barton-Hanson will reportedly join the cast of TOWIE in upcoming scenes after she was recently spotting kissing James Lock outside a Mayfair restaurant.
Lockie, as he is affectionately known on the ITVBe show, is the third star from the Essex-based reality series that Megan Barton-Hanson has history with, the other two being Demi Sims and Pete Wicks.
Speaking to OK!, an insider explained: “James and Megan are having a bit of fun. It’s nothing serious, they both like each other and are enjoying spending time together.
“He’s definitely got his hands full with her, but he’s said he’s into her.
“There’s already rumours about her going on TOWIE and obviously that would be very awkward for her ex, Demi. She was also linked to Pete Wicks at one point so it could all make very tense viewing.”

The snog between the pair took place after they went for dinner at Amazonico restaurant in London’s Mayfair.
They were later seen laughing and hugging each other outside the venue.
James, 34, and Megan, 27, certainly packed on the PDA, as the TOWIE star was pictured wrapping his arm around her before they locked lips.
The reality hunk was also seen kissing Megan’s hair affectionately before embracing her with an impassioned hug.

A bystander, who witnessed the duo getting very close, told The Sun: “Megan and James looked inseparable. You couldn’t have squeezed a cigarette paper between the two of them.”
According to recent reports, Essex residents James and Megan first met each other on the set of MTV’s Ex on The Beach.
Megan has been open about her sexuality too recently, revealing back in December that she is now open to dating men again after the break-ups with TOWIE’s Demi and Chelcee Grimes bac in 2019.

On her sexuality, she said “It’s not about the sex of the person, if you have that connection and you find someone’s qualities attractive then it doesn’t matter what gender they are.
“I just want to someone that adds to my life and is super open, funny and accepts what I do and supports me. Whether that’s male or female, they need to be aligned with how I feel.”
