McKenna pulled off a sophisticated look for the X Factor: Celebrity launch today – and her famous plump pout looked smaller too

MEGAN McKenna pulled off a sophisticated look for the X Factor: Celebrity launch today – and her famous plump pout looked smaller too.

The Towie star-turned-country singer, 27, wore a plunging blazer and matching suit trousers as she joined the rest of this year’s acts in London ahead of the first show on Saturday night.

She showed off her pearly whites as she smiled for the camera, and when she smiled her lips were noticeably smaller than they were earlier this year.

In February Megan was trolled by telly viewers while appearing on GMB and Celebs Go Dating, with some cruel trolls saying her lips looked like “fat sausages”.

But her look appears to have been toned down since then ahead of her latest telly outing.

Meanwhile Megan has been tipped to win the competition by Louis Walsh today as he teased the X Factor: Celebrity categories.

The Irishman returns to the ITV series as a judge alongside Simon Cowell and Nicole Scherzinger.

Louis Walsh has tipped Megan McKenna to win

And while viewers will have to wait until the weekend to find out which judge gets which category, Louis has let slip he’s got “two boys and two girls”.

He told The Sun Online: “I have two boys and two girls … I think the groups are the strongest. They are really good.”

While his comments don’t confirm exactly which category he has, Louis did make his opinion on Megan clear.

He said: “Megan McKenna will surprise a lot of people though.

“I was down in Essex for the first time ever this week. She is everything I thought she wasn’t.

“She takes it very seriously and works hard.”

Megan will be joined by fellow celebrities including chat show host Ricki Lake, Glee’s Kevin McHale, The Chase’s Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan and a group made up of Love Island stars Wes Nelson, Zara McDermott, Eyal Booker and Samira Mighty.

Louis has certainly made his mark on returning to the show, having reignited his feud with former judge Cheryl Tweedy earlier in the day.

The 67-year-old was asked if he was surprised she hadn’t been snapped up as a judge.

Louis, who first sat on the judging panel with Cheryl in 2008, sniped: “You mean as a contestant? She would be good. She could even win it.”

And when asked if Chezza would have to mime to win it, Louis added: “Cheryl doesn’t mime”.

Before he winked and said: “It is called lip-syncing.”
