LOVE Island's Megan Barton-Hanson has been pictured being confronted by police at home after she denied throwing an illegal birthday bash.

The 27-year-old star wore a slinky white dress as she spoke with the officers outside her home in Southend on Saturday night.

Megan was celebrating her 27th birthday on Saturday and had shared pictures of her birthday in sexy white lingerie while posing near balloon displays and personalised decorations.

Police then turned up at 8.45pm and spoke to Megan and another woman before leaving.

Essex Police told The Sun in a statement: "We received reports of a gathering involving a number of people at a property shortly after 8.10pm on Saturday 6 March.

"We attended an address and found five people in the property who were working on a photoshoot.

"We advised the occupants that this is not considered to be essential work.

"Our advice was understood and those who did not live at the property left.

"No fines were issued."

Over the weekend Megan's publicist insisted she wasn't throwing a party but was actually taking part in a photoshoot, which doesn't break Covid-19 regulations.

They told the publication: "It wasn’t a party. Megan was actually doing a shoot.

"The police knocked on the door and then left again after checking. I think approximately six people left who were the makeup, hair, videographer crew."

The police visit comes after she shared her X-rated lockdown sex tips with fans.

Megan revealed she's a "serial dater" and always had someone "on the go" as she started work as a sex columnist.

Megan also explained that she has been banned from the dating app Hinge for being a 'catfish' - someone who uses another person's pictures.

She got kicked off after her profile and glam shots were assumed to be someone pretending to be her.

The star, who has been single since her split from Demi Sims, said that she has been virtual-dating throughout the pandemic as she shared her sexy tips with Vice.

Love Island stars’ sex sessions on the show aren’t aired if they deny they did it says Megan Barton-Hanson
