Megan McKenna Expresses Regret Over 'Ex On The Beach' Sex Scene

'I know that having sex on TV isn’t the best thing... but everybody does it.'

Megan McKenna has revealed her regret at having sex on TV during her time on ‘Ex On The Beach’.

Before coming to people’s attention on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ and ‘The Only Way Is Essex’, Megan starred in the third and fourth series of the outrageous MTV reality show.

During her time on the show, she and then boyfriend Jordan Davies had sex in the contestants’ shared house, which aired as part of the coverage, and two years on, Megan has confessed that it’s something she now feels uneasy about.

Speaking to HuffPost UK on ‘BUILD’, she admitted: “I have a few regrets from when I was on ‘Ex On The Beach’. I did get a bit intimate with one of my boyfriends on there.

“I wish I didn’t… but it’s not like there was a film crew there, there were fixed rigged cameras, so it does seem like there isn’t anyone there. And he was my boyfriend. I was with him for a month, technically, on the show.

“I don’t know, there’s a few things I regret, but I suppose that it’s got me where I am today.”

However, she did have a word for the detractors who judge the show’s contestants for having sex in front of the ‘Ex On The Beach’ cameras, adding: “It is normal. I know that having sex on TV isn’t the best thing, but everybody [has sex]. So I don’t know why everyone’s making out like they don’t, because they do.”

When the contestants from the most recent series of ‘Ex On The Beach’ appeared on ‘BUILD’, they expressed similar sentiments, with Harriette Harper insisting: I would say that everybody goes away and has fun on holiday - sun, sex and sand.

It's not that people disliked Mark Wright when he signed up for 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!', but it's fair to say that his 'TOWIE' past meant many assumptions had been made.

However, thanks to his honest, gusty and generally likable nature, Mark won over both his fellows campmates and viewers here in Blighty.

Reality TV veteran Pricey was getting to the end of a rough year when she entered the 'CBB' house, and had spent much of the past 10 months talking about her husband Kieran's affairs.

However, she won over the public once again, and was crowned series winner.

When Alex entered the 'CBB' house in 2010, he was met with a chorus of boos, which he responded to by saying: "This is why I'm here, to hopefully change these boos into cheers."

And change it, he did. Alex left the Borehamwood bungalow as the winner, and was met with huge cheers.

Jim's first attempt at reality TV didn't go well, and he was removed from 'Hell's Kitchen' in 2007 using homophobic language.

Fast forward to 2014 though, and you'll find the former 'Big Break' host leaving the 'Celebrity Big Brother' as winner.

Back when Darren called the 'I'm A Celeb' camp home in 2002, it was virtually impossible to find his name printed without the words "love rat" printed next to it. However, after a stint with the creepy-crawlies, doing Bushtucker trials, the public were markedly kinder to the star. (credit:REX/Shutterstock)

Michael's reputation got a brief boost in 2006, when he was runner-up on 'CBB', five years after hitting headlines following the death of Stuart Lubbock, who was found in Michael's swimming pool after a party.

Sadly, it wasn't too last and the presenter failed to turn his newfound status into a new gig.
