She's secured her spot as one of the most talked about reality stars of 2016, but Megan McKenna says that at 24, she's still got plenty more she wants to achieve.

The Essex-born beauty shot to fame on Ex On The Beach in 2015 and has since joined the cast of The Only Way Is Essex, launched her own clothing line and released a make-up range.

But now Megan, who also auditioned for Britain's Got Talent in 2009, reveals she has her sights set on a music career.

She says: "I've been in the studio recording music which is really exciting - I'll hopefully have some music out next year. My main goal in my life is to be a music artist or perform in the West End – I've got my name out there so hopefully an opportunity will come up."

And fashion-mad Megan is currently in full-swing Christmas party season, and is loving the chance to show off her impressive wardrobe.

She says: "I don't want to go overboard with glitter and colours, I like wearing simple black and then glamming it up with a really cool coat and massive hair. But on New Year's Eve I'll be in a little silk playsuit – maybe gold or pink to get me in the party spirit!"

But whilst her career is taking off, Megan's love life hasn't been quite so easy. The Celebrity Big Brother star hit the headlines this year for her tumultuous relationship with TOWIE co-star Pete Wicks, after it emerged that he'd been 'sexting' more than ten other girls while dating Megan.

However, after a highly publicised heartache, Megan took Pete back and admits she'd love to have marriage and kids one day.

She says: "I'd definitely like to get married and have a family at some point – when I'm around 28 so in the next four years but until then my career comes first. It's going really well with Pete. I don't regret anything – it's our relationship and only we know what's going on."

But while she has her long-term goals set out, size 8 Megan reveals that next year she's going to have to make some changes in her life.

"My New Year's resolution is to go to the gym. Right now, I do absolutely nothing because I hate exercising so much. I'm allergic to gluten, which keeps me eating reasonably healthy and I've got a really fast metabolism, but I want to get fit - not to lose weight, but to be able to run without being out of breath.

"My other goal for the New Year is to stop spending – I'm a shopaholic. Last week I bought a pair of D&G pumps and a Stella McCartney clutch on the spot. I can't help it though – I like to treat myself at least once a month."
