A Love Island fan was so excited to meet former Islander Megan Barton-Hanson that she had no idea her nipple had accidentally freed itself during the process.

But when she realised, she found it so hilarious she had to share the moment online.

We all get a little happy meeting our favs, but one fan made sure she made the experience one to remember when ‘a badly made top’ let her down quite literally.

The incident even left Meg’s boyfriend Wes Nelson ‘howling’ at the meet and greet in ExCel London on Friday.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk, the 20-year-old from Bournemouth, who attended the event with her girlfriend, described how she first became aware of her wardrobe malfunction.



‘Megan didn’t notice until she saw Wes howling with laughter. I went with my girlfriend and her and Wes was laughing,’ she said.

‘She was really lovely she held my hand and we pulled my top up for a decent photo.’

But the gap year student’s ordeal did not stop there as her brand new Basic Red Jersey Bralet from Pretty Little Things refused to stay up while meeting Adam Collard.

‘Adam was really embarrassed for me when I met him and was like “what is happening?” I felt worse about that one,’ she explained laughing.

Most people would have died of embarrassment but Ellie, who also grabbed a photo with 2017 winner Kem Cetinay, cracked on and made light of herself when she shared the pictures on Twitter.

The original tweet, which has now been liked by 17,000 users, read: ‘Never let me meet celebs again’.

Social media users found it as hilarious as Ellie did with one writing: ‘this is the funniest thing ever omg.’

Another added: ‘LOOOOOOOOL na why is your breast out you’re a legend.’

And Ellie didn’t mind the giggles either, and is insisting the whole thing was ‘funny’ but ‘accidental.’

She said: ‘I wouldn’t have taken the photos and put them online if I didn’t feel comfortable. I find it really funny myself and the fact it was accidental just makes me laugh.

‘I’ve had a lot of male followers asking me about my breasts and loads of people saying I’ve done it on purpose.’

The student has contacted the online brand on Twitter to complain about the top but is yet to receive a response.

‘I just bought that top from Pretty Little thing and they haven’t replied to me at all. It was really badly made,’ she said.

Metro.co.uk have contacted Pretty Little Things for a comment.

Ellie may have had her fun, but other fans were apparently left disappointed when the recent Love Island Live event descended into ‘chaos’.

The official event – hosted by Caroline Flack at London’s ExCel Centre on 10 August – had promised visitors time with their favourite reality stars, and time to get a quick selfie with Dani Dyer, Georgia Steel, Megan and the gang.

However, fans were reportedly disappointed after forking out £35 for VIP tickets – and being asked to queue for ‘hours’, only to be told there was no time for pictures.



A spokesperson for Love Island explained they were ‘sorry’ to hear some guests were disappointed with the event.

‘Love Island Live allowed viewers to see a 60 min show with the Islanders hosted by Caroline Flack, and meet and greet some of their Islander favourites during a further two hour period,’ they told Metro.co.uk.

‘We have had overwhelmingly positive feedback and are sorry to hear some people were disappointed.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for the ExCel Centre for a comment.
