Megan Barton-Hanson cuts a casual figure in a plunging pink crop top and jeans ...

 She rose to fame on the 2018 series of Love Island.

And Megan Barton-Hanson looked incredible in a plunging pink crop top and jeans for a night out in Manchester on Friday.

The reality star, 26, wore a stylish oversized blue shirt over her ensemble and paired it with blue trainers.  

The beauty added even more colour with a bright orange handbag and she opted for a red chic lip. 

She accessorised with layered gold necklaces and small hoop earrings.

She showcased her toned abs and oozed confidence as she walked to meet with friends. 

This comes after she revealed that she hopes this year's Love Island newcomers 'don't hold back' when it comes to on-screen romps, saying: 'I hope they just go out there and enjoy themselves.'

Offering up her advice for contestants hoping to bag both a new beau and the £50,000 prize money, Megan insisted frisky encounters would 'make great viewing' adding: 'I think we're in for a good series.'

Speaking to The Sun, the blonde beauty - who famously bedded both Eyal Booker and Wes Nelson during her time in the villa - suggested contestants will be more frisky than ever following a year of social distancing.

'The rest of us can live through them because there's not much chance of us getting a holiday,' she joked.

Speaking of her excitement over the new season, Megan added: 'I'm super-excited for it. I've just missed it so much.

'It's part of everyone's summer. From your nan to the married man who insists he only watches it because his wife has it on, everyone deep down secretly loves it.'

She also urged the new set of Love Islanders not to play it safe.

'You've got to be a bit selfish,' she said, encouraging contestants to take risks and not worry so much about being disliked that they miss out on opportunities to form romantic connections.

Addressing her relationship with Wes - who she hooked up with despite him being coupled up with Laura Anderson at the time - Megan said that despite people's 'strong opinions' about her behaviour, she chose 'not to hold back'.

The social media sensation joked that she had kissed 'half the boys' in the villa before realising that Wes was the one for her.

Megan also told the paper that negative comments don't matter as much if you are with someone you really care for.

Touching upon the fact that she had sex on television, Megan revealed that after leaving the villa, she was asked often during interviews about her decision to go all the way in front of cameras, however such questions were never put to Wes.

Megan said it highlighted the fact that there is 'so much stigma around women enjoying sex', adding that she wasn't ashamed of her choices.

However, Megan did try to hide their bedroom antics by covering up microphones that had been placed in their bed's headboard, before being quickly told by producers to stop fiddling with equipment.

One of the only times that contestants aren't filmed is during meal times, when they were chaperoned by ITV2 staff and had dishes cooked for them.

Megan joked that contestants were only allowed to have 's**t chat' while eating, so that producers didn't miss any juicy moments.

Megan also said producers preferred that conversations between castmates didn't take place in the villa's large swimming pool, as mics could not be worn in the water.

If particularly romantic moments weren't caught by cameras, contestants would be asked to 'do them again' for the cameras, which Megan said was always awkward.

Phones, social media and even clocks are banned in the Majorcan villa, with contestants only allowed to have one or two glasses of wine a night, which Megan said is a 'good thing'.

While many apply to be on the show in the hope of finding fame and millions of social media followers, Megan insisted it's easy to spot those that have entered
