MEGAN Barton Hanson’s millionaire ex-boyfriend asked her to have a threesome during their relationship, he has revealed.
Paul Chaplin, 55, has exclusively told The Sun Online that he suggested a high-class escort joined him and the 25-year-old Love Island star in the bedroom during their 18-month romance.
The author, who once ran some of Britain’s biggest selling top shelf porn magazines, dated Megan before she found fame and treated her to designer clothes, a £30k car and even paid for her flat.
And after discovering she was bisexual, he also offered to turn up the heat between the sheets too.
Paul said: “I know she’d had girlfriends before we got together. Meg has always been generous with her affections to people of both sexes and would swing both ways.
“I seem to recall a conversation or two where I said should we get a friend round from Kensington, go on to a website or whatever, but it never happened.”
He added: “I don’t want to comment on whether she was seeing other girls while I was seeing her but I never brought other people into the bedroom with Meg.”
Celebs Go Dating star Megan is now seeing female singer Chelcee Grimes, 27, and the couple recently enjoyed a romantic holiday together in the Maldives.
The former stripper met self-confessed swinger Paul when she moved to London from Southend to start working as a glamour model.
They set eyes on each other at an X-rated awards bash and Paul instantly felt she had the credentials for a successful porn career.
Paul said: “I think if she had been born 10 years earlier she would have started working in adult films but there was no money in it by the time I met her.
“The internet killed porn financially as they were giving it away for next to nothing.”
Paul wrote a series for Netflix called Vindicta, with Megan in mind for the lead role.
He explained: “I encouraged Megan to get into acting because I could see she had that star quality about her.
“The Vindicta series I wrote for Netflix, which is about a serial killing schoolgirl, I actually started that for Megan. She was going to be the lead.
“The fact that the lead character was a psychopathic serial killer was not a reflection on Megan at all.
“She was never angry except when you got the wrong sized Louboutins. That never goes down well.”
Paul added: “I could see it would be a great role for her. I pitched it to Netflix and they loved it so I wrote the whole thing, but by the time I finished, me and Meg were over.”
Along with a London flat and her car, Paul also treated Megan to holidays on private jets and thousands of pounds worth of Louboutin shoes and Agent Provocateur underwear during their time together.
The author has previously admitted keeping a harem of “hunny bunnies” that he would reward with apartments and cars in return for companionship and sex.
Paul said: “Megan was so much fun, she is just bubbles and I love people who are effervescent.
“I don’t care if you want to talk about handbags and nails and fairies at the bottom of the garden. That’s great, just talk.”
Paul has described Megan as “very canny”, although says she is not “book smart”.
The last time he heard from her was when she split with her Love Island co-star Wes Nelson, 21.
He explains he was a “shoulder to cry on” for Megan, who was upset about the break-up.
Paul said: “The last time we spoke was on the phone. I can’t remember if she called me, or I called her, but Meg was very upset.
“I was a shoulder to cry on. I told her, ‘Come on babe, you are gorgeous, you can do better than that’.
“It was very tricky for her, trying to have a relationship with a camera in her face, and she was sad it hadn’t worked out.”
Paul, now a qualified cognitive behavioural therapy practitioner, says he was never in love with Megan.
Speaking at the launch of his book I Want to Love But: Releasing the Power of You, he said: “One of the reasons I wanted to write the book is because I’ve had a very odd life.
“The book is about the love people can have rather than the love they think they should have.
“There’s a societal impulse to objectify love but I believe you can get all the love you want just by being yourself.”
He adds: “I like to define myself as a romantic realist.
“We see love as one of the foundation stones of our psychological identity but love isn’t a thing plainly, it’s an emerging property of a functioning relationship.
“Love is a very awkward word because we tend to shoebox it into ideal types. All of these are deeper manifestations of deeper emotional mechanics.
“There is a difference between things like love and things like success at sport. With success you can define an external objective.
“But love just isn’t like that, the harder you try the more it seems to fade away. It happens when you don’t try.”
