Vanessa caused a stir when she announced her split from boyfriend Louis just before her first DOI performance with Wes Nelson
Dancing On Ice partners Vanessa Bauer and Wes Nelson hit headlines this week after Wes' girlfriend Megan Barton Hanson hit out at Vanessa on Instagram.
She accused Vanessa of purposely announcing the end of relationship so as to stir up headlines about a potential romance with Wes.
Taking to her Instagram stories after being branded a 'scorned ex' for her expression during Wes and Vanessa's performance, Megan wrote: “Love that you decide to announce your breakup with your boyfriend on the night of your first performance with my boyfriend.
“You’ve never reached out to me once on invited me to watch you train, it pained you to introduce yourself to me last night you didn’t even look me in the eye LOL.”
She added: “Hope the tactical breakup got you the headlines you wanted babe.”
