Yahoo News Megan McKenna reveals TOWIE backstage secrets
It's fair to say Megan McKenna has had a pretty dramatic time of late on The Only Way Is Essex, what with the whirlwind fallout from her split with Pete Wicks.
Not only that, but she got in a pretty big fight with Chloe Sims about it, who recently took another dig at Megan by accusing her of having an "air time romance".
However, Megan has now opened up about the drama both on and off-screen, admitting that series 20 has been the hardest for her.
"It's a shame – I get on with a lot of the cast but this series was so bitchy, it was the bitchiest series I've ever done, even over other shows I've done like CBB and Ex on the Beach – all of them, it shits all over that," she told OK! Online.
"I felt like this series, there were a few people that were really supportive but it's very clear who I don't get on with, and I just thought, 'Why can't they just let me get on with my life, why do they have to get so involved?'"
Megan also opened up about Amber Turner and insisted that she was not as upset in the final episode of the series as was portrayed on screen.
"She found it hard coming to the end of the series," she continued. "I think it looked like she was upset in a lot of the clips at the end and she was, but it was a mixture of things – it wasn't to do with Lauren Pope.
"It was to do with other people, and she'd had a bit of an argument with some of the people. They can't show everything because they've got to fit everything into an hour.
"With Amber it takes people a bit of time to get to know her – she's not a horrible person, she's just honest. The cast need to back off her a little bit, she's not a nasty person, and they just need to give her a break."
The series is over now, and Megan is understandably relieved to be turning her back on it, explaining: "I needed the break [from TOWIE], you don't understand how happy I was.
"I turned up to filming with Amber and we just had such a good day. Normally I'm worried about what's going to happen, who I'm filming with and if there's going to be arguments, and normally I'm really stressing, but I was so happy, and just kept thinking, 'Oh my god I'm not going to see some of these people for at least three months, I'm absolutely buzzing!'"
