Love Island star Wes Nelson has confirmed he is “dating” blogger Lissy Roddy, following his very public break-up with co-star Megan Barton-Hanson.
Wes met Lissy at a Nasty Gal party in Dublin after finishing his stint on Dancing On Ice in March.
He has now spoken out to confirm that things are going well between them, but the 21-year-old stressed that he is taking a more “chilled” approach to this new romance.
Talking about Lissy, engineer Wes told The Sun: “Everything is chilling.”
Considering his relationship with Megan moved fast, he added: “I’m still dating Lissy. I’m not running into a relationship again.
“It’s nothing official yet. We’re still dating.”
His relationship with Megan, 25, ended on a sour note, as they split following the strain of his training on DOI.
A source also told the publication: “Wes is having a really good time getting to know Lissy, they’ve been on some nice dates and they’ve been hanging out, going on shopping trips together and chilling at home.”
The gossiper added that 24-year-old Lissy is the reason Wes didn’t rush to reunite with Megan after their split.
The insider continued: “Lissy’s the reason Wes was so adamant he wouldn’t be getting back with Megan. She is absolutely stunning and he’s one very happy man.”
