You'll probably know her as the loud mouth reality star from TV shows such as The Only Way Is Essex, Celebrity Big Brother and Ex On The Beach, but Megan McKenna is actually a very talented singer!

If you've been watching Megan's brand new show There's Something About Megan on ITV2, you'll be aware of Megan's big dream in life. The 24-year-old is launching her country music career and is hoping to make it big in the music industry.

Despite some doubters more or less laughing her music career off, Megan's debut single 'High Heeled Shoes' has proved a massive hit with fans and is at Number 1 on the official iTunes chart!

Obviously delighted, Megan shared a short snippet of the track to her Instagram page with the caption, 'High heeled shoes' has been no1 in the iTunes Charts all day!!!! Followed by 'Far cry from love'! If you haven't downloaded yours, get them BOTH from iTunes & Spotify 🎼🌾'

Megan's debut track is beating the likes of Taylor Swift, P!nk, Dua Lipa and girlband Little Mix on the iTunes Chart.

Clearly very proud of his girlfriend, Megan's boyfriend Pete Wicks also shared his delight at the Number 1. Sharing the cover art for Megan's single, Pete wrote, 'High Heeled Shoes' & 'Far Cry From Love' AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD NOW 🎼 ON ITUNES & SPOTIFY! So proud of @meganmckenna going straight to Number 1 on the iTunes download chart!! #Number1Fan ❤️'

Not only did the track hit Number 1 on the main iTunes chart, but 'High Heeled Shoes' and Megan's other track' Far Cry from Love' are sitting pretty at the top of the country chart.

Megan's singing career has proved to be a massive hit with her fans and music fans in general, with many taking to Twitter to praise her talents.

Whilst Megan is currently sitting top of the iTunes chart, the TOWIE start will have to wait and see where her singles chart in the Vodafone - Big Top 40 on Sunday between 4pm-7pm. Megan could be about to knock pop royalty Taylor Swift's track 'Look What You Made Me Do' off the top spot.

This all comes after Megan revealed The X Factor judge Louis Walsh is secretly mentoring her. She told reporters at the 2017 TV Choice Awards, "Louis Walsh and I talk a lot about my music, and he's really happy with how it's going. Basically he actually was one of the people who said to me ages ago that I should go to Nashville and do a show."

Megan has been a fan of singing from a very young age, and way back before her reality TV show days, Megan auditioned for Britain's Got Talent along with her friend in a duo called Harmony.

Singing 'What Is This Feeling' from the musical Wicked, Megan received some harsh feedback from Simon Cowell.

Watch her audition below:

She's come along way since then!
