Former The Only Way Is Essex star, Megan McKenna, is set to perform a country set at Glastonbury this Sunday.
Since leaving the ITV reality show, Megan continued touring the television circuit, appearing on Big Brother, Ex on the Beach and The X Factor: Celebrity which she won in 2019. The success on the show launched a musical career for Megan who climbed the UK Country charts with her debut album, Story of Me, reaching a peak of number four.
It appears the mentoring help from Louis Walsh on X Factor has paid off as the newly formed country star will be hitting the big stage at Worthy Farm for Glastonbury festival. Speaking to Metro, Megan said: "For me, being on the line-up at Glastonbury is acceptance in the music industry. It’s literally a massive step for me and my career so I’m so excited."

Megan went onto admit being a television persona was never in her list of dreams but thanked the show's for giving her the career she has. She added: "I think there’s a difference between reality stars and TV personalities who go on shows and have a talent and are business-minded and want to grow themselves as a brand.
"I’m so grateful for some of the shows that I’ve done because they’ve given me a huge platform."
The 29-year-old dropped her new track Baby Talk today which has been described as a "full-blown country break-up anthem".
