Megan Barton Hanson has been on "a few dates" with men and women of late - but she ditches any potential lovers if the pair "don't have a laugh".

The former 'Love Island' star admitted things have been going "as well as they can" be in the romance department during socially-distanced dates amid the coronavirus pandemic, and she is on the hunt for a man or a woman to make her chuckle during these tough times for the world.
When asked how things are going with her love life, she exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Things are going well!
"I mean - as well as they can during these times. I have been going on a few dates, with men and women, and have just been trying to have some fun.
"If we don’t have a laugh, I don’t see them again - it’s so important especially when we keep going into lockdown.
"I need someone who can carry a decent conversation and make me laugh."
Megan admitted she would be "first in line" to return to the 'Love Island' villa if she was given the chance, and has missed watching the show in recent months after the 2020 summer series was axed due to the pandemic.
Quizzed about whether she would ever go back into the villa, she replied: "Yes. I didn’t even have to think about that - spending some weeks in the summer sun in a stunning villa with gorgeous people. I’ll be first in line!"I think we’ve all really missed it this summer. It’s normally what everyone is talking about. I can’t wait for it to be on again."
As well as going on a few dates and dreaming of a 'Love Island' return, Megan has been busy launching a new podcast, 'You Come First', on which she has called in guests from around the world for intimate, unfiltered conversations about putting yourself first, as well as brutally-honest chats about private topics.
And the 26-year-old star is keen to "open the conversation" about sex, because she doesn't see why talking about getting jiggy with it and chatting about other bedroom fun antics are regarded as taboo topics.
She added: "So many people are having sex so why don’t we start talking about it and all enjoying it more?
"It’s 2020 ... the "Orgasm Gap" [women having fewer orgasms than men] is a direct consequence of women not discussing and feeling they can’t be open about what they want in the bedroom.
"I want to open that conversation. Women and men alike can and should enjoy sex.
"I’ve been working with luxury self-care brand LELO to encourage women to indulge in self-care as it really makes such a difference when you join a partner after learning what you like on your own."
The first episode of Megan’s new podcast 'You Come First' is out now, in partnership with the interactive podcast app, Entale.
