What Love Island’s Megan Forte Clarke was actually like at school, according to her teacher

The former teacher of the Love Island star Megan Forte Clarke has revealed what she was actually like at school. This is fascinating stuff.

In case you’ve forgotten, Megan is a literal drama queen. She studied acting and has already appeared in a few pantomimes. Rob Murphy runs Dublin’s Dramatic Action stage school, which Megan joined in her early teens.

Rob told Sunday World: “I remember the day that she walked in with three or four friends, but she stood out a mile, she was really very talented. She did musical theatre with us. She played Elphaba in our Wicked scene, she played Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray. She played Mrs Wormwood in our Matilda show, she always got lead roles, she always had something that was just extra in stage school.

“From the moment she walked in the door she was oozing with talent, or as my friend Twink would say ‘diseased with talent’. You always find talent when you teach young people, but she did have the X Factor; there was something about Megan. I always remember sitting in rehearsal when we were doing Wicked, and she was singing ‘I’m Not That Girl’. Time stood still when she sang that song.”

Apparently Megan wasn’t very interested in boys when she was younger. “As a teenager, her number one focus was always theatre.”

Rob says Megan comes off on Love Island exactly how she behaves in real life. “She is not playing a character, that is who she is… She has really shown how down to earth she is with her reaction to things, her facial expressions. I think she has been herself. It’s great to hear a Dublin accent in there.”

He also reckons Tommy and Megan will be together for ages and will become super famous. “They’re both so good-looking.” Well, fingers crossed for them.
