What does Megan look for in a partner?

"Someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humour. If they’re not bad-looking, that’s always a plus. I love a boy that’s a bit pasty, like Timothée Chalamet.
"I don’t mind scrawny, or a bit of a ‘dad bod’. I’m 5ft1, so any height really," she said.
