Megan's latest transformation comes days after she sported a pink short wig and after it was revealed she had landed her very own ITVBe series - which will follow her launching a new career as a chart-topping singer.

Megan is set to front her own programme which will document her journey to crack the music industry.

And the series, which will air in the break when Towie is off screen, will follow Megan as she jets off to Nashville in America, the home of country music, to lay down tracks for an album.

A source said: “Megan has an incredible voice and singing is her greatest love.

“It’s what she spends her downtime doing away from the cameras and to make it her main career is a dream come true.

“She’s been a long-time fan of Dolly Parton and loves that kind of country folk music so it makes sense to go to Nashville to lay down tracks with some of the best in that business to give her the biggest chance of success.”
