What happened during the terrifying home robbery Megan is revealing for the first time?
I was robbed really badly in my own home. Woke up to my whole house shaking, like I get goose pimples now thinking about it. They were inside my house, but I lock my bedroom door and there are three masked men with machetes and they managed to hack a hole in my wall. They were in my house for seven minutes, like seven minutes. It was the longest seven minutes I've ever experienced in my entire life. I was on the phone to the police and they were like, we're on our way, we're on our way. And I was like, no, they're hacking my wall down. That is my biggest fear. And it happened to me.
What does it do mentally when you experience something like that?
Well, it changes you forever. Your home is your safe space. That's not my safe space.
I don't have the right words to even...
It's like almost took that away from me, having this like being at home and being safe with Landon. Sorry, now I'm really crying. It's something I will work through.
Hi, I'm Megan McKenna and I'm in great company. When I met Ollie, you just get a feel who isn't a dickhead. And I have dated a lot. But Ollie doesn't give me a reason. I went away with an ex. Something was a bit off. I go down the phone. A picture of her sexy legs and underwear in it. Mugging me off.
Can I ask a really personal question?
Go on.

Ah, yes. I don't really do, you know, podcasts a lot.
Why not? Because you're worried about what you're going to say or what is it?
Yeah, maybe it's from like being on reality TV for so long. I think I've always been so worried about how people edit me. Maybe that's the thing. I think it's like a thing subconsciously that I'm like, do you know what? I'd rather just not talk.
I get it, man. Listen, having done reality TV for so long, you then become such a like control freak over your own life and everything.
You really do. Oh, man. Yeah. And I think that's why I kind of like social so much like my own because I'm like in control.
I was just saying to you before, watching your socials is like, it makes me feel so good. That's so nice.
Why? I don't know, it's weird. I always ask people, people say I'm therapeutic. I'm like, really? You wouldn't have said that 10 years ago, would you?
If you haven't seen Megan's stuff, it's so beautiful. You're always cooking with your son. You're always doing different things. It's so wholesome and lovely and wonderful and just delicious. I want to be married to you. I want you to be my mother. I want you to just be everything. It's just crazy. Thank you. What was the first thing that you started on?
What? As in reality?
As in reality show.
Reality was Ex on the Beach.
Was it really?
Yeah, yeah. It was Ex on the Beach. And I got that show thinking I was doing this show called, it was called like, Are You the One? It's like a similar show, but not a negative one. So they tricked you? They actually didn't tell me what I was doing. And I kid you not, gospel truth story, when I went to the airport to go and fly to film X on the Beach, I signed a contract not knowing it was X on the Beach, really. I wasn't allowed to tell my mum or anyone where I was flying to. They told me where I was flying to when I got to the airport and they took my phone off me. But my mum knew it was real because she'd come to the MTV meeting with me.
Right, okay.
You know, she knew it was real. But they said to me it was an ongoing series. I was thinking, is this going to be more like a Geordie Shore thing away? And then I'm going to do loads of series.
