Love Island's Wes Nelson has spoken about the "chemistry" he shares with his Dancing on Ice skating partner, Vanessa Bauer. In a pre-recorded segment of the show, the budding skater admitted: "It's really important to have good chemistry with your partner."
Wes, who has been in a relationship with girlfriend Megan Barton Hanson since the summer, quickly added: "Not too much chemistry... I've got a girlfriend." He went on to say: "Anyone who knows me knows I'm super competitive and Vanessa is the reigning champion. We've got to win again!"

Megan was on hand to cheer her boyfriend Wes as he made his debut on the ice on Sunday night. The blonde model tried to keep her composure, even after judge Christopher Dean called Wes and Vanessa a "beautiful couple". "If you could choose two people on the ice this would be it," said the skating judge. Voiceover Sam Matterface also noted that Wes and Vanessa looked "perfect together," but joked that Megan needn't worry.
