EXCLUSIVE: Love Island stars Megan Forte Clarke and Conor Phillips have opened up about a huge milestone in their relationship
Love Island couple Megan Forte Clarke and Conor Phillips have revealed their plans to move in together after facing long-distance challenges.
The Irish pair first crossed paths in the famous Mallorcan villa earlier this summer, but their journey was far from straightforward.
Megan was initially in a couple with Tommy Bradley, before her head was turned by Conor, who was then coupled with Emily Moran.
After failing to secure enough public votes, Megan found herself dumped from the villa, leading Conor to explore potential sparks with Emma Munro, Billykiss Azeez and Shakira Khan.
In a dramatic twist, Megan made a surprise return to the show to rekindle her relationship with Conor, only for the couple to be shown the door just days before the grand finale, reports OK!

Speaking on the red carpet at the National Television Awards on Wednesday (September 10), the duo disclosed their plans to relocate to London together, after a period of long-distance.
“We are really close. We’re obviously living in different countries so we’re trying to be as close as possible at all times,” shared Conor.
“We’re doing our best. I’m living at her house, she’s living at my house. But we look to do something, maybe move to London or something like that… It’s a bit awkward doing the long distance. We can only catch so many flights.”
Megan chimed in with a playful remark: “Yes, for sure. I can’t stay in a boy room any longer.”
The pair, who attended the event with UKLash, then confessed that they have said “I love you” to each other, before reflecting on their “crazy” journey in the villa.
“I think I had the best deal out of everyone. I [got dumped], went on holiday and came back in, it was great,” Megan shared.
When asked about their favourite moments from the show, she continued: “Just the laughs we had everyday. They never show any of that unless it’s a Saturday on Unseen Bits. We had such a giggle.”
Conor wrapped up by saying: “It’s definitely a weird scenario. You’re living with all your friends, you’re spending every single moment of the day [together].
“So, I was just appreciating that because even your close friends at home, you might see them once every two weeks. It’s just nice to be surrounded with people that are all in the similar vibe. We’re all on Love Island.”
At last night’s NTAs, Love Island was beaten by I’m a Celebrity in the Reality Competition category. In the meantime, Love Island fans can look forward to its All Stars spin-off, which is set to return early next year.
Love Island is available to stream on ITVX, while Love Island: All Stars will return to ITV2 and ITVX next year
