A Premier League footballer finds himself at the center of a stirring controversy, accused of cheating with none other than Love Island star Megan (Meg) Moore. 

The drama unfolded just days before Meg, a 25-year-old payroll specialist turned reality TV contestant, jetted off to Majorca to begin filming the hit ITV2 dating show.

Reports suggest the footballer, who has deliberately remained unnamed amid the scandal, crossed a line by hooking up with Meg shortly before her arrival on Love Island. Adding fuel to the fire, the sportsman apparently sought to smooth things over with his partner by splashing out on a brand-new £40,000 Audi as a grand apology.

According to sources close to the story, the pair were spotted getting "increasingly tactile" while sharing shots on a night out—an evening when the footballer’s girlfriend stayed home, completely unaware of the unfolding events. It was only after Meg had left for Spain that the girlfriend’s friends reportedly broke the news to her, sparking emotional turmoil.

However, the footballer’s gesture of buying a flashy new car straight from the dealership seemed to offer some comfort amid the drama. One insider told The Sun, “The footie ace and Megan have known each other since they were teenagers. A few days before Meg left for Love Island, they met up with mutual friends at a pub.”

The insider continued: “They drank together and did shots side by side all night. Later, while the rest of the group went out into town, these two slipped away and ended up spending the night at Meg’s place.”

Friends of the girlfriend have been reportedly watching Meg on Love Island closely and voting against her at every chance—a sign of how personal the fallout has become. Despite the alleged infidelity, the couple, who have been together for over a year, are said to still be together, although the girlfriend reportedly feels “worthless” following the betrayal.

The story has attracted wide media attention, with MailOnline reaching out to representatives from the Premier League, the Football Association, and Love Island for comment. Meanwhile, a source close to Meg disputed the accusations, claiming the reports do not reflect the truth.

On Love Island, Meg has been building a romance with another footballer, Dejon Noel-Williams, 26, who hails from London. Their relationship has been anything but smooth, facing ups and downs including recent controversies over flirtatious talk involving other islanders Toni and Yasmin.

Still, Meg and Dejon have managed to stick together through the turbulence, with Meg reportedly forgiving Dejon for his flirtations. The dynamic between the two has been one of the show's more talked-about storylines.

Before landing on the show this year, Meg revealed she had actually dropped out of the previous season after applying. She explained her hesitation: “I felt like I wouldn’t really have fitted in.”

The 25-year-old from Southampton continued living her everyday life until the producers approached her again. “What have I got to lose?” she thought, deciding to give it another shot. After a series of interviews via Teams and Zoom, followed by an in-person casting meeting in London, Meg was back in the running.

While waiting for the season to start, Meg was kept engaged in a WhatsApp group with other contestants, where she would share who she fancied and rank her top three choices. Yet, initially, she still doubted her fit with the other potential islanders, confessing, “I just didn’t think we’d really get on.”

Things moved quickly from there. “I wasn’t really thinking about it; I was living my normal life,” she said. But when the offer came to join the villa again, she accepted without hesitation, especially since she was still single and hadn’t been on any dates recently.

This 2025 season marks the tenth anniversary of Love Island, and despite the many notable islanders who have come and gone, Meg revealed she hasn’t really looked up to any former contestants. “You just have to be yourself,” she stated. “That’s what people need to do, and that’s what I’m going to do. I don’t think you should change for anyone.”

Her down-to-earth approach resonates with many fans, especially amid the glitz and drama the show is known for.

As for the Premier League footballer caught in the midst of scandal, the full impact on his relationship and career remains to be seen. The combination of an alleged affair and a lavish apology car purchase only adds layers to this unfolding story of love, loyalty, and betrayal—right in the heart of football and reality TV fame.
