Tense: Megan Barton Hanson and Eyal Booker’s relationship was on the rocks on Monday night’s edition of Love Island
In scenes from Monday night’s show, Megan was left infuriated when London model Eyal said he would have coupled up with Georgia if he could pick any girl in the villa during a ‘getting to know me’ challenge.
The blonde bombshell, who has previously spoken of her dislike about the 20-year-old drama student, vented in the Beach Hut: ‘Why would he say he would pick Georgia, she is so loud and theatrical and I’m not like that at all’.
And in a unexpected turn of events, it looks like Megan will ditch Eyal to pursue a romance with nuclear engineer Wes, 20, who is coupled up with Laura.

Missing: Plagued by doubts about their suitability as a couple, Megan once again raises concerns over their compatibility and admits there is ‘something missing’
The sudden turn of events will no doubt rile Laura’s feathers and sew doubts in her mind after Wes said he would couple up with Megan if he had to pick another girl in the villa on Monday’s night challenge.
Saying ‘sorry’ to Eyal as he turned his chalk board to show the former stripper’s name, Laura vented: ‘Sorry Eyal?! What about me.’
During the challenge Megan’s doubts were further exaggerated when Eyal guessed incorrectly that she’s slept with 37 men.
Taken aback about his outlandish prediction, Megan is seen visibly shocked during the test of how well each couple knows one another and blasts him for thinking she has ‘slept with every Tom, Dick and Harry’.
Discussions: Earlier in the episode viewers watched the pair discussing how they need to have more ‘fun’ in their relationship and generally be more ‘playful’ towards one another
She said: ‘I’m not the most innocent of girls, but it doesn’t mean that I’ve gone around sh****** everyone I can. I was absolutely fuming.
‘Just because I’m open and I say I enjoy sex, it’s 2018. I’m a woman. I’m allowed to enjoy sex if I want to but it doesn’t mean that I’ve slept with every Tom, Dick and Harry that walks in a bar.’
She later told the girls about her compatibility and admits there is ‘something missing’ from their relationship.
She confessed: ‘Although he does have a funny side, he’s quite serious a lot of the time. I just need someone to be a geek with. I feel like I always knew in the back of my mind that there was something missing.
‘I thought «the closer we get, the more we hang out, the more natural and easy it will be.» But it’s honestly not.’
Showdown: Dr. Alex George and Ellie Brown had a showdown about the almost immediate failure of their romance
Elsewhere in the show, Alex is confronted Ellie, after insisting to Dani Dyer and Laura Anderson the 20-year-old Geordie, had been ‘playing games’ with him, as she became ‘rude’ and distant almost immediately after he chose her.
Things soon descended into an angry exchange and Ellie was forced to defend herself against accusations she’d led Alex on, saying: ‘I did not come in [to the villa] saying «Alex is the guy for me» at all.’
‘You’re saying s**t Alex, I never said that,’ she continued as he insisted that she had, indeed made it seem as though he was the one for her. ‘It was bulls**t because I never said that.’
Of the situation, Jack Fincham said in the Beach Hut: ‘I feel like this side of Alex has come out because he’s genuinely had enough. You know what he’s like, he puts himself down anyway. I think he’s overthinking everything with Ellie.’
Cold: As he sat by the pool with Dani Dyer and Laura Anderson, the A&E doctor complained about the way in which Ellie had seemed cold to him almost immediately after recoupling

The air hostess scolds her love as she confesses their coupling is on ‘thin ice’ after Wes said his biggest turn off in a girl is ‘arrogance and ignorance’ before labeling the air hostess ignorant.
She told him: ‘You’re on thin ice, I swear to God. Do you think it’s insensitive to sit there in front of everyone in that game and tell me that I’ve been one of the traits that you find off-putting and call me ignorant.
‘You just said that. I’m just give, give, giving and you’re take, take, taking. That’s how I feel. I don’t feel like you do anything remotely nice for me.’
However their bust up didn’t last for long and were seen cuddling on the sun lounger moments later.
Speaking of the row, Laura said: I look into Wes’ eyes and he’s just like «I’m sorry! and I’m just this melted ball.’
Love Island continues on ITV2 at 9pm.
