But in an interview on Loose Women the 26 year old revealed she’s “doing okay” after flying to her “happy place” Nashville to focus on her work.

She told the panel: “I’m doing okay, thank you for asking. I have actually just come back from Nashville because I’ve been out there, I’ve been putting everything into my work, focusing on my work and writing music.

“I feel like Nashville is my happy place and I am feeling good.”

Megan explained songwriting has been helpful through the grieving process as she finds writing music “like writing a diary”.
