Who is Megan Forte Clarke? Love Island sign Maura Higgins lookalike

Love Island is about to welcome a brand-new face—and she’s already turning heads. Megan Forte Clarke, a 24-year-old actress from Dublin, has joined the lineup for the new season of ITV2’s hit dating show.

Who Is Megan Forte Clarke?

Megan recently starred in a pantomime version of Cinderella at The Roses Theatre in Gloucestershire, playing one of the Ugly Sisters. But she’s no ugly duckling—Megan has fans already comparing her to Love Island legend Maura Higgins.

Viewers may spot Megan’s Harry Potter-style lightning scar on her forehead. She says she got it after falling down the stairs, and she wears it with pride.

A Funny and Real ‘Bridget Jones’

On TikTok, Megan calls herself the “modern-day Bridget Jones.” She jokes about being unlucky in love and getting ghosted by men.
Her posts are honest, funny, and very relatable. One of her videos says: “Can I hold a man down? Don’t be silly. Have I just been ghosted again? Absolutely. Am I still funny AF with great t*ts? Obvs.”

Her social media is filled with bikini photos, acting clips, and fun content—including her and friends dressed as characters from Derry Girls.

What Are ITV Bosses Saying?

A source close to the show said: “Megan is a gorgeous girl with a fun personality. She’s had no luck in love, so she’s perfect for the villa.”

They also added that comparisons to Maura Higgins are no surprise and that Megan will take it as a compliment.
Producers hope she brings the same bold energy and Irish charm that made Maura a fan favorite in 2019.

When Does Love Island Start?

The new season starts next Monday, with Maya Jama returning as host.
This season is extra special because it marks the 10th anniversary of Love Island.
Fans can expect big surprises, more twists, and a whole new set of romantic dramas.

Other Islanders include footballer Harry Cooksley, 6’5” personal trainer Aaron Buckett, and beauties like Shakira Khan and Sophie Lee.

Love Island has had over 300 contestants and more than 2 billion streams on ITVX since it began. On Sunday night, fans enjoyed a 10-year anniversary special, looking back at highlights from past seasons.
