Megan Barton Hanson has been linked with footballer Dele Alli after the pair met on a night out in London.

Barton Hanson, 24, was partying with her fellow Love Island stars at the capital’s Tape nightclub where Alli, 23, is said to have introduced himself days after splitting from his girlfriend of nearly three years, Ruby Mae.

“Dele was really keen on Megan and went over to introduce himself right away,” a source told The Sun.

“There were plenty of other girls in the club including lots of Megan’s co-stars but it was her that caught his eye.

“He called her beautiful and said he wanted to take her out for dinner.”

The source claimed Barton Hanson grilled Alli on “whether things are definitely over between him and Ruby”.

Standard Online has contacted representatives for Alli and Barton Hanson for comment.

The former Love Island star recently called time on her relationship with 20-year-old Wes Nelson, who she met on the ITV2 show last summer.

She initially blamed Dancing on Ice bosses for the split, claiming they purposefully partnered him with Vanessa Bauer, who she described as the “hottest” professional.

She accused Nelson of not fighting enough to save the romance, something he vehemently denied, but said they remain amicable.

Barton Hanson fuelled romance rumours with her fellow Love Island co-star Charlie Brake, who was partying with the model and reality star Jack Fowler on the same night she allegedly met Alli.

Brake insisted the pair are friends after one Instagram follower asked “You and Meg? What’s the deal?” to which he replied: “Just out n about with my mate….”

She recently revealed she is open to dating men and women in the wake of her split from Nelson, saying she wants to use her platform to break down the taboo around bisexuality.
