Megan Barton Hanson predicts love for Wes Nelson and Vanessa Bauer

Megan Barton Hanson wouldn’t be "shocked" if Wes Nelson dates Vanessa Bauer.
The 24-year-old beauty recently split from the 20-year-old hunk, six months after they met on ‘Love Island’, and after she previously criticised his ‘Dancing on Ice’ partner for her "tactical" break-up from Louis Nathaniel and claimed the skater hadn’t been welcoming towards her, she’s now admitted she thinks the TV partnership will spill over into real life.
She said: "It wouldn’t shock me if they got together.
"They’re both so career driven. They do have a lot in common.
"If that’s what they do, then it’s up to them. It would sting a little bit. It wouldn’t be nice.
"It will be rubbed in my face and I think a lot of people would be smug and laugh at me."
Despite splitting from Wes, Megan revealed Vanessa has now tried to get in contact with her – but she doesn’t see the point in trying to patch things up.
She told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "It’s three months too late. I don’t see the point of meeting her, now I’m no longer with Wes.
"I reached out to her at the time, gave her my number and she didn’t want to reply then, so I don’t see what use meeting her now is going to do.
"As a woman, spending that much time with someone’s boyfriend, she should have reached out and ­introduced herself at the time."
While the blonde star was a regular in the ‘Dancing on Ice’ audience to support Wes, now they’ve split up, she doesn’t even plan to watch it on TV.
She said: "It’s not a bit of me but I hope Wes does well. Hopefully he’ll win but I can’t say I’ll be tuning in every Sunday."
But Megan admitted she is still in love with Wes.
She said: "I wish I could get back together with Wes. If he was five years older, or I was five years younger, it might have worked. Right now, our priorities are very different.
"I want to find someone to spend my life with, go ­travelling with, go for nice meals and be wined and dined.
"Wes has been given this amazing opportunity and he just wants to capitalise on it, which is fair enough. At 20, I’d be exactly the same.
"I still love him. You can’t spend that much time with someone and then fall out of love instantly."
