Megan was a late entrant into the show and while she grew intimate with Eyal Booker and shared a kiss with Alex George, she soon turned her attentions to Wes - despite the fact he was paired with Laura Anderson, however his head was soon turned.

While she found love in the villa, she was subject to much scrutiny on the outside as her past as an exotic dancer and glamour model became known. 

Despite this, she left the show in third place and has won fans all over - particularly after her appearance on Good Morning Britain in which she lobbied for society to stop judging women on their sexual past.

Taking to the caption, Megan penned: 'How times have changed! This time last year I was in really a bad space. My anxiety was at an all time high and looking back now I can see I was actually depressed...

'I felt like I was getting nowhere and would never fulfil my dreams. Fast forward one year and here I am going to the @tvchoicemagazine awards, not only in a @julienmacdonald dress but one they actually tailored to fit me!...

'Can’t quite believe that so much can change so quickly. If you’re feeling s***ty today just know that everything can change. Just because you aren’t where you want to be it doesn’t mean you aren’t going to get there...

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
