Love Island Fans Brand Megan 'The New Muggy Mike' As They Slam Her For Stealing Wes From Laura

Girl code seemed to go out of the window.

The last series of ‘Love Island’ saw Muggy Mike cause uproar in the villa, but this year is it all about Muggy Megan. 

Viwers have slammed Megan Barton-Hanson for attempting to steal Wes Nelson from Laura Anderson during Tuesday’s explosive episode. 

Fans of the ITV2 reality series saw her make a play for Laura’s man after she finally dumped Eyal Booker, claiming they didn’t have enough fun.

Having kissed Wes twice during a game of ‘Snog, Marry, Pie?’, Megan decided she fancied him more than she first thought, and after chatting to some of the other Islanders about her crush, she dragged him up to the balcony to tell him how she felt. 

But she did not stop at just admitting her feelings, and fans could not quite believe what they were seeing when Megan asked Wes to kiss her, ignoring the fact he was coupled-up with Laura. 

While he declined, moments later he pulled Laura aside to tell her he wanted to “get to know” Megan. 

This prompted an understandable fit of rage from Laura, who told Wes where to go. 

“You think I’m a robot. I’m a fucking human being. You’ve hurt me right now,” she said. “You’ll never ever, ever get this chance again. I swear to fuck do not speak to me.”

She then stormed out of the garden calling Wes an “arsehole”, before shouting over to Megan: “Nice one Meg, cheers for telling me. Fucking slag.” 

A smiling Megan, who seemed to be loving the drama, then bit back, telling the other Islanders: “She’s slept with more people than me.”

Her behaviour riled those on social media, who branded her the new ‘Muggy Mike’: 

They also called her out for being a “snake” and breaking “girl code”, adding her admission that she’s “never had any girl friends” was of little surprise: 

Wes did not escape unscathed either, with fans slamming him for jumping ship so quickly:

But with at least one Islander set to be dumped from the villa tonight, will Megan or Wes pay the price for their behaviour?

‘Love Island’ continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

For four years, Eyal was a member of the pop group EverYoung who - in his words - "had small-time success", "toured the country" and created "fan-girl hysteria".

Since the group split in 2015, Eyal now serves as a model, and you may have seen him and his curly locks in Zara Larsson's 'Lush Life' music video.

Arguably the most prolific of this year's 'Love Island' contestants, Dani is best known thanks to her famous dad, 'EastEnders' actor and descendant of Edward III, Danny Dyer.

Reality superfans may also remember her from her brief-but-memorable stint on the ill-fated 'Love Island' successor 'Survival Of The Fittest' earlier this year.

It's not uncommon for models to wind up staying in the 'Love Island' villa, but Kendall's career path is a rather non-traditional one.

Having previously landed the title of Miss North West in 2015, Kendall then made it to the final of Miss England that same year, but bowed out of the pageant world shortly afterwards.

Flight attendant Laura Anderson told 'Love Island' producers that her claim to fame is the celebs she's served over the course of her career, naming Channing Tatum as her most A-list.

However, she didn't disclose her past as a model for six years (which she does mention on her Bayt profile), while The Sun mentioned a past relationship with an undisclosed sports star and, curiously, the fact she used to go by the name Missy Love.

Intriguing...
