She elaborated, "Kyra's lovely, but I just don't wanna rule anything out and get into something serious." Megan further noted, "I think I've learned from my mistakes. Do you know what I mean? We like dived in headfirst."

'Love Island Games' bombshell Eyal Booker receives death threats over Megan Barton-Hanson kiss
Eyal Booker and Megan Barton-Hanson had an intimate moment which also aired on 'Love Island UK' Season 4. However, Eyal reportedly received death threats after his kiss with Megan on the Peacock show sparked controversy.
Eyal's brother Ariel addressed that scene in the 2018 interview with Heart FM and noted, "People have said very nasty things, it's crazy that people can make such disgusting comments."
Ariel further revealed, "I understand it all comes with reality TV but I think sending someone death threats for kissing a girl in front of someone else is ridiculous. It was a huge shock for me because it's entertainment, so to threaten our family over it is very absurd."
'Love Island Games' airs six days a week from Sunday to Friday at 9 PM ET on Peacock.
