A Premier League footballer has been accused of cheating with Love Island star Megan Moore shortly before she entered the villa, according to reports.
The unnamed sportsman allegedly spent the night with the 25-year-old payroll specialist after a night out drinking earlier this month.
Following the alleged infidelity, the footballer reportedly purchased his girlfriend a £40,000 Audi as an apology gift after she discovered what had happened through friends.
The Sun reports that the player and Moore, known as Meg, were seen getting “increasingly tactile” whilst downing shots together, while his partner remained at home.

The footballer and his girlfriend have been together for over a year.
According to a source who spoke to The Sun, the footballer and Moore have known each other since their teenage years.

“At the start of June, days before Meg left for Love Island, they were out with mutual friends and met in a pub,” the source said.
“Megan and him had a few drinks together and started doing shots. They were side-by-side all night.”
The source added that whilst the group went out into town, “the two of them veered off from the group and went back to Meg’s place. They spent the night together.”
The footballer’s girlfriend discovered the alleged infidelity through friends who informed her after Moore had already flown to Spain to film Love Island.
According to reports, she was “cheered” when her partner bought a brand new motor “straight off the garage forecourt” as an apology gift.
The source told The Sun that the girlfriend “feels worthless” following the alleged encounter, though the couple are “still together”.
The insider revealed that the girlfriend and her friends have been watching Love Island and voting against Moore “at every opportunity”.
On Love Island, Moore has been in a relationship with another footballer, 26-year-old Dejon Noel-Williams from London, since day one of the series.

Their romance has experienced several ups and downs, including recent arguments about comments regarding a threesome with bombshells Toni and Yasmin.
Moore had previously applied for the 2024 series but withdrew, admitting she “felt like I wouldn’t really have fitted in”.
She was approached again this year and decided “what have I got to lose?” after remaining single with no dates since the previous year.
The 25-year-old from Southampton works as a payroll specialist outside the villa.
