This week Olivia is joined by model and former Love Island star Megan Barton-Hanson.


After appearing on the ITV2 series in 2018, Megan has gone on to become an advocate for female empowerment and combating the stigma attached to sex workers.


Megan opens up about how being slut-shamed at school led her to pursue a career in the sex industry and why she thinks people are still so judgmental of sex work in 2020.


She also talks about her time on Love Island, revealing that she regrets not talking about being bisexual on the programme.
