When she basically broke up Laura and Wes

Probably Megan's most shocking - and SNAKY - moment so far is when she broke up Wes and Laura. She enticed Wes by asking for a cheeky kiss and made her feelings clear for him behind Laura's back. Not cool. Not girl code.

But Alex and Wes just weren't enough for Megan - she had to test the waters with newbie Dean, too. They shared a snog in the garden, but Megan concluded that he wasn't for her after she described his beard as too prickly. Awks.
