One of the OG Love Island girlies for Season 12 already creating a buzz is 24-year-old Megan Forte Clarke, who many are already called a Maura Higgins lookalike. Also hailing from Ireland, if she brings even a fraction of Maura's iconic energy, we're in for a treat.
Who is Megan Forte Clarke?
Megan Forte Clarke is 24 years old, from Dublin, Ireland but currently living in Brighton. Having been single for almost three years now - after her university boyfriend cheated on her, she says she wants to be on Love Island to find someone who's up for a laugh and doesn't take themselves too seriously. She now steers clear from musical theatre boys but if they look like Timothée Chalamet, she's in trouble. Oh and we hear she doesn’t mind a bit of a 'dad bod'.
What is Megan Forte Clarke's job?
Megan is a musical theatre girlie and an energy broker – a versatile babe. We love it.
With professional training under her belt from The Brighton Academy of Performing Arts and Musical Theatre, we may have an Amber Davies on our hands. Amber won Series 3 of Love Island and has gone on to take the West End by a storm, currently playing Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby Musical in London.
How does Megan Forte Clarke know Harriett Blackmore?
Harriett Blackmore from Love Island Season 11 and All Stars Season 2 used to work with Megan at the Flannels store in Brighton. Megan told the press before entering the villa that Harriett has been super supportive in preparing her for the show. 'She's been telling me what to pack and stuff, so I feel like that's been a big help, having her. I'm just excited, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, so I'm buzzing to get in there', she told us.
How many followers does Megan Forte Clarke have?
21k on Instagram and 22k on Tik Tok - her username is @meganforteclarke on both platforms, where she shares trends, lots of glam selfies, and glimpses into her musical theatre life.
With her mum laying down strict instructions not to have sex on TV, we’re excited to see how Megan’s journey in the villa unfolds and whether she sticks to her promise to follow Mum’s rule!
