Aw, man! We’d just got on board with Love Island starlet Megan Barton Hanson and TOWIE’s Demi Sims getting together, a particularly satisfying pairing considering they became close while filming Celebs Go Dating, i.e., precisely when they were meant to be dating anyone but each other. They even kissed at ITV’s summer party: it was great. A charmingly disobedient courtship, but one that seems to have already drawn to a close – that is, if Sims’ recent interview with The Sun branding her now ex ‘fake’, is anything to go by. ‘She spoke so much about loyalty and kicked off that I messaged someone openly from the show and all the time she was messaging someone behind my back,’ said Demi.
The TOWIE star claims that Megan ‘broke up with [her] the day after filming finished’ – yikes – and continued,‘I was falling for her pretty hard and to be honest I feel like she completely used me.’ While speculation was already swirling that the budding romance had ended before it had time to begin – stoked by reports that Demi and Megan had unfollowed each other on Instagram and pictures of Megan taking a teary, cigarette-y phone call outside a Camden pub last month – Sims’ comments confirm the split in no uncertain terms. Implying that a third party might have come between the pair, Demi said ‘I really liked her and she went behind my back and got with an old friend of mine. […] The truth is she made a dog move, she went behind my back and she waited until filming had finished to finish things.’
The mystery interloper might not be so mysterious, after all – Megan is now said to be dating Chelcee Grimes, the most intimidatingly multi-talented new flame in the history of new flames. A pro-football-player-cum-song-writer-for-Kylie-Minogue-Dua-Lipa-And-Olly-Murs, Chelcee was pictured on scene in Camden to comfort Megan after her stressful phone call, holding her hand and wiping her tears away with a tissue. Then, at Manchester Pride over the August bank holiday weekend, Chelcee and Megan were reported to make a swift exit from their hotel after discovering that Demi was also staying there. Awks.
Hold on to your hats! The next chapter’s beginning. Memi/Degan no more. Long live – Melcee? Chegan…? Working on it.
