But for Megan McKenna, she got a nasty shock when her ex-friend Connie Wiltshire arrived at the villa for the MTV reality show.
They were close before filming – but fell out when Megan discovered Connie had slept with her ex-boyfriend.
Speaking to Closer Online, Megan said: “What hasn’t come across on the show is the reason why I’m angry. It wasn’t because of what she had done with him, because it happened before we were friends.
“It was the fact she became friends with me knowing she had slept with him. I had no idea. I was seeing her, she was becoming a really close friend and I was confiding in her when I was going through the break-up. But the whole time she’d slept with him more than once!”
Megan insists that’s why she got so mad when Connie turned up – despite the fact the full story wasn’t told.
She continued: “That was just before I went on the show, and obviously it was all new, so that’s why I went so crazy because I was heartbroken, especially for a friend to do that.”
Megan is now loved-up with her EOTB co-star Jordan Davies, but she had to watch him getting close to Connie during a task date on the show, which sent her over the edge.
Admitting that it was like history repeating itself, Megan said: “Honestly I can’t explain to you how I felt – just sick. I’ve been cheated on by that particular boyfriend so many times and I was in such a nasty, manipulative relationship and I think that’s why I have trust issues.
“Any girl who has been in a manipulative, mentally abusive relationship is going to react the same way.”
Magaluf Weekender star Jordan and Megan had quite a few bust-ups on the show, but it’s only made them stronger. Megan believes that, if they can get through EOTB, they can get through anything.
“Obviously we had ups and downs. Jordan was a bit of an idiot to me, and I did get him back by flirting with Rogan [O’Connor] – but we were living in an villa with his exes, so we can do anything now we’re home,” she said.
And Megan isn’t embarrassed about showing her fiery side on the show – because she was pushed to her limits by certain people.
One person in particular who pushed Megan’s buttons was Laura. Megan said she constantly made digs about her dietary needs, even though she is celiac.
Megan said: “People think I’m screaming and shouting my mouth off because I’m hungry but at the end of the day I actually have serious eating issues.
“I kicked off when Laura ate my food because it was a really malicious thing to do. She’s been quite bitter and nasty about my allergy, but what nobody saw on the show is that Laura had a special diet too because she was watching her weight.
“I actually went to hospital for my condition, but Laura’s was all for vanity. It annoys me that it wasn’t shown, but anyone who knows me knows the truth.”
