Yahoo News Megan Barton-Hanson accuses Wes's Dancing on Ice partner of 'no respect'
Love Island star Megan Barton-Hanson looks to be trying to ensure things are as awkward as possible for boyfriend Wes Nelson during his time on Dancing on Ice.
Yesterday (January 14), in a now-deleted Instagram Story, Megan accused Wes's skating partner Vanessa Bauer of breaking up with her boyfriend to make "headlines".
Despite deleting the post, Megan has hit out at Vanessa again, this time in an interview with The Sun, where she accused the skater of having a "lack of respect".
Speaking about her Instagram comments, Megan admitted: "I was riled up, I let my passion and anger get the better of me but there’s no manual.
“I don’t want to be a possessive girlfriend. I want her to reach out to me. I’ve had no communication with her for the past three months. I’m not jealous; it is just a lack of respect. I was pushed over the edge."
Megan went on to say that having your boyfriend spend 12 hours a day with another woman was not an ideal situation and "a little introduction from Vanessa would have gone a long way".
“Dancing on Ice is very romantic and all about looking into each other’s eyes and parading around on the ice and being loved up together – it’s not easy to watch," she continued.
"Wes is my main priority, I love him. I am so passionate about him but it is going to be difficult now. I want to back him, but I don’t want to feel awkward.”
Following Megan’s Instagram post, Vanessa took to her own Instagram Story to share a quote about female empowerment, something which also didn't sit well with Megan.
“She claims to be a strong woman and that she empowers women but she’s shown me zero respect," she said.
“If you’re going to preach empowerment then surely she would have held the olive branch out and introduce herself to me instead of pretending that I don’t exist?"
But despite everything, Megan insisted that things were all good with Wes. “Wes and I have never been stronger," she added.
"He gets me. He’s got my back. But it isn’t easy for either of us."
Looks like this weekend's Dancing on Ice could be the frostiest yet.
Dancing on Ice continues this Sunday (January 20) on ITV.
