Reality TV sensation Megan McKenna has shared the thrilling news that music mogul Simon Cowell personally called her to offer a record deal. The former X Factor and Celebrity Big Brother star took to social media to express her excitement over this career-defining moment.
"I still can't believe it," McKenna gushed. "Simon Cowell rang me himself—it's surreal!" The 31-year-old singer-songwriter, who first rose to fame on reality TV, has been working tirelessly on her music, and this deal marks a significant step forward.
A Dream Come True
McKenna, known for her powerful vocals and country-pop style, has long aspired to break into the music industry beyond reality TV. Her debut album, Story of Me, showcased her songwriting talent, but a major-label deal under Cowell’s Syco Music could propel her to new heights.
"This is everything I’ve worked for," she said. "Simon believes in me, and that means the world."
From Reality TV to Music Stardom
McKenna first gained attention on The Only Way Is Essex before appearing on Ex on the Beach and winning Celebrity Big Brother in 2016. Despite her TV success, music remained her true passion, leading to independent releases and sold-out tours.
Now, with Cowell’s backing, industry insiders predict her career could mirror that of other reality stars turned chart-toppers, such as One Direction or Little Mix.
What’s Next for McKenna?
While details of the deal remain under wraps, fans can expect new music soon. McKenna hinted at a fresh sound, blending her country roots with mainstream pop appeal.
"I’ve grown so much as an artist," she teased. "This next chapter is going to be epic."
