Megan Barton Hanson was pictured being confronted by police after holding 'a photoshoot' at her home. The MailOnlinereports that the Love Island star opened the door to officers at around 8.45pm on Saturday night. Megan has denied that she was hosting a party for her 27th on Saturday.

'Whilst it was Megan’s birthday it wasn’t a party,' her representative told The Mirror. 'She was actually doing a shoot and the other people in attendance were there in a professional capacity ie. photographer, hair, makeup, videographer etc. The police left because it was a production rather than "letting a party continue."' Photoshoots are still allowed to happen under current coronavirus restrictions.

'We received reports of a gathering involving a number of people at a property in Benfleet shortly after 8.10pm on Saturday 6 March,' a police spokesperson toldThe Mirror{ =nofollow}. 'We attended an address in Rayleigh Road and found five people in the property who were working on a photoshoot. We advised the occupants that this is not considered to be essential work. Our advice was understood and those who did not live at the property left. No fines were issued.'

'We have been consistent in our approach to the coronavirus health protection regulations,' they added. 'We will always engage with people and encourage them to do the right thing by explaining the regulations. Where reasoned conversation has not been successful we will consider enforcement action.'

However, the MailOnline report that around 10 people left the house, while other guests remained inside when the police were talking to Megan and another woman. In photos from the site, people are seen leaving dressed up while carrying what looks to be bottles of alcohol.
