She has already topped the iTunes chart with her new single High Heeled Shoes and now plans to put her heart and soul into her music.

In an exclusive chat with The Sun’s Bizarre column after , she said: “I am going to write about my exes – you have to write about previous relationships.

“Song writing is very personal and I think throughout my life I’ve had so many things happen to me. I have so many stories to tell including ex boyfriends and ex friendships.

“I was bullied at school and grew up in that environment with girls not liking me. This is all going to put into my songs. I am a very honest person.”

Megan has become well-known for her explosive moments on reality show Towie, where she was filmed last series having a blazing row with on-again boyfriend Pete.

And the star says she wants to channel her fiery temper in her music and hopes viewers will finally understand the reasons why she lost control on screen.

She said: “People only see me getting defensive and arguing back at people but obviously those are positions I’m put in on The Only Way Is Essex but what people aren’t seeing is how I am really feeling.

“They don’t see what I am going through to get to that stage and to feel that anger – if any normal girl has gone through heartache in their lives then they’re going to understand me.

“I’m going to write about all the behind-the-scenes stuff that people don’t see.”

Megan hints she may leave her career as a reality star behind in favour of her music and refuses to sing again on Towie.

She said: “Singing is my No 1. I am going to keep my performance side of things separate.

“I am not going to perform on Towie. Do you really think you’re going to have the whole of the Towie cast clicking along to a country song? I don’t think so.”

While Megan sees fellow country star Miley Cyrus as an inspiration – she could never ride on a giant inflatable penis like she did during her Bangerz Tour.

She added: "No, I am not going to be doing anything silly like that but there definitely will be some really cool music videos.

"I definitely want some 'wow' moments in there but my country music career is very serious to me. I am literally obsessed with Miley Cyrus – it is crazy."
