Hoping for country music success Megan told The Sun: "I am still judged for doing reality TV but I don’t think that is a bad thing. I feel like I have a chance to prove that I am actually a real artist. With country music, it is all about stories?.?.?.?If I had a boring life I wouldn’t have anything good to write about. I thank all my exes and I thank all the drama in my life."

Having released her debut album 'Story of Me' in 2018, Megan has admitted that becoming a musician has always been a dream of hers.
You might remember she won 'The X Factor: Celebrity' in 2019 and went on to explain "It was always my aim to be a singer. I trained at full-time theatre school and went to every
audition going. When I was little, my mum had to drive me all over the UK. TV kind of got me to where I want to be and I’m on my journey with my music. I’ve always been doing it, but no-ones really known about it and its like, 'Oh? Is she doing music now?
She continued: "I never really wanted to do reality TV. At the time I was auditioning for lots of different things, but I just felt like I had to take what I got offered."
Megan McKenna's debut album is out now and she's just wrapped up her tour with boyband Blue.
