Date night? Calum Best also reportedly shared several text messages with Megan
Megan had hinted at her relationship with Courtois before she entering the villa, saying: 'I’ve been DM’d [direct-messaged] by the odd celeb and dated a footballer. I’m not naming names.'
The Essex beauty has sparked much conversation among fans, as these claims come just hours after a video emerged showing the beauty twerking and pouring cereal on herself in the supermarket.
Fans rushed to social media to criticise Megan's acts in the Instagram clip, which had been posted by a disapproving fan with the caption: 'Unpopular opinion: This isn't cute, this isn't funny. Some poor Tesco worker has to go and pick this all up cos you wanted a video for the gram? Gross.'

One person agreed: 'Yeah Megan let’s not s**g @georgia_steel off again shall we with this behaviour! Total hypocrite #LoveIsland.'
Others branded Megan's behaviour as 'hypocritical' after she appeared to slam Islander Georgia Steel after she decided to jump in the swimming pool for a dare.
In the scenes - aired on Friday night's show - she said: 'I don’t know if it’s me because I’ve not been around that kind of person but to me it just seems very full on.
'All my friends at home just seem really real. I don’t know whether everything is dramatised.
'Is she genuinely here to find love or is she here to be the centre of attention?'
Love Island continues on Sunday 17th June at 9pm on ITV2.
