Dancing On Ice’s Wes Nelson has defended his girlfriend Megan Barton Hanson after she wasn’t in the audience to support him last night.
Wes, who is partnered with professional ice skater Vanessa Bauer on the show, explained that Megan has been unwell and couldn’t make it along.
The 20-year-old, who began dating Megan on Love Island last summer, wrote on Instagram Stories yesterday: “Shattered now. Can’t wait to get back to @meghanbartonhanson.
“She’s been so unwell today, make sure you send her a kind message.”
Megan, 24, also posted about her illness over the weekend, explaining that she has been suffering with a painful infection.
She wrote on Instagram Stories: “Any pain relief tips for a kidney/bladder infection… it’s finally date night and I’m going even if I’m curled into the shape of a pretzel.”
However, fans have now pointed out that Megan has not yet publicly congratulated Wes for coming top of the leaderboard on last night’s episode of DOI.
Wes and Vanessa impressed the judges and scored 29.5 for their dance to Hairspray’s You Can’t Stop The Beat.
One fan wrote: “On Wes’ story it says she’s ill that’s why she didn’t go to support, but she hasn’t even congratulated him for being top of the leaderboard. I don’t think she was ill whatsoever!”
Another added: “No comment or like from Megan I see 😬🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🙄.”
However, another fan later pointed out that Megan has ‘liked’ Wes’ Instagram post.

It comes after Megan hit out at Vanessa in a ranting Instagram post last week.
The Love Island star claimed Vanessa couldn’t look her “in the eye” when they met and that she timed the announcement of her split from boyfriend Louis Nathaniel for publicity.

However, Megan later explained on Loose Women that she sent Vanessa a message to apologise for calling her out on social media.
She admitted that she does feel “jealous” about Wes and Vanessa spending so much time together, but insisted that just makes her human.
We hope to see you back in the DOI audience soon, Megan!
