IT’S been 15 years since she first graced our TV screens, and now Megan McKenna is expecting her first baby with footballer Oliver Burke.
We initially saw Megan as a 16-year-old school girl on Britain's Got Talent, and since then the 31-year-old has had an epic career transformation.
Once nicknamed “Mental Megs" as a result of her appearances on The Only Way Is Essex, Ex On The Beach and Celebrity Big Brother, she’s now an accomplished recording artist and country music star.
Megan has come a long way from her Britain’s Got Talent style, where she donned neon tutus, leg warmers and long socks.
But now, the mum-to-be, who posts regular food clips on social media, has traded her heels and designer handbags for leather cowboy boots and a hat - and hasn't looked back.
Not only has her impressive career transformation left many of us open-mouthed, but her beauty overhaul is also enough to make your jaw drop.
As well as dissolving her lip fillers and taking out her extensions, she’s also opted for a much more natural make-up look - saying goodbye to the days of thick foundation and huge pairs of fake eyelashes.
As a result, here, Fabulous takes a look at Megan’s mega beauty transformation, as well as the cheap buys she swears by.
MADE UP
When it comes to her make-up routine, a staple that Megan can’t get enough of is the NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me Prime Set Refresh Spray.
In a clip shared on TikTok, we saw the country singer use the £10 as a primer, as well as a setting spray, to give a dewy finish that’s designed to last.

Not only this, but she also loves the Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara - a long-wearing, volumizing mascara, that’s £31.
As well as this, Megan is also a fan of Charlotte Tilbury products, and has previously raved not only about the Charlotte Tilbury Wonderglow Primer, but also the Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte’s Magic Cream Light too.
Megan previously beamed: “I’ve just started to get into the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, which I really like.
“It’s got SPF in it as well, which is always good because I like to use SPF on my face, chest and my hands.
“I actually saw Khloe Kardashian do that. About two years ago I saw it and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I forget to put it on my hands’. You don’t want wrinkly hands – and your hands are in the sun 24/7.”
To give her glowy cheeks, Megan swears by the REFY Cream Blush and when it comes to ensuring her brows are neatly in place, she’s also a fan of the Revolution Precise Brow Pencil, which is only £4.
And to ensure that her skin stays clean and fresh, Megan is also a fan of the Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub from Lush, which is £11.
In a clip shared to her Instagram stories, Megan gave a close-up look at her face, which was covered in the high-street scrub.
Moments later, she explained: “Just washed all that off – I feel so fresh.”
HAIR THIS
The former Towie star has been through a variety of different hair styles and colours over the years.
Not only this, but when she dyed her brunette locks platinum blonde two years ago, she said with a laugh: “Sod it, blondes have more fun. It’s a completely different image to what I used to have.
“I loved young Megan, I loved what I looked like. But I’m just content, I feel like I’m a completely different person. I’ve grown up.”
And although Megan is currently rocking a shorter hairstyle than in previous years, when she does want to add length to her hair, she swears by her Easilocks hair extensions, with prices ranging from £39.99.
But one thing is for sure when it comes to her locks - Megan is a huge fan of the Color Wow Dream Cocktail.
As she raved about the £25 buy, Megan claimed: “I use the Colour Wow Dream Cocktail on my hair and it’s amazing.
“It smells like just coconuts, it’s insane. I’d say that’s number one.”
DISSOLVED
Back in 2022, Megan looked donned a new look as she dissolved her lip filler.
The singer admitted to doing a u-turn on lip fillers and branded her past love of plumping up her lips "dangerous".
Revealing to Closer magazine, Megan shared: "I feel happier, more natural. It got to the point where my lips were the only thing people talked about when I was on TV.
“I wanted to be known for my voice, not my trout pout."
Megan also told The Sun on Sunday about her decision not to go under the knife, as she revealed: “There are always trends. There’s always times when people want this big and that big and want this sucked out and this and that.
