Vanessa Bauer has reportedly slammed claims that she is responsible for the split of another celebrity partner on Dancing On Ice.
The 24-year-old professional skater is angry that she is being used as the reason for the break-up of Joe-Warren Plant's relationship with model Nicole Hadlow.
The 18-year-old Emmerdale actor reportedly dumped his girlfriend last week, after they had rowed about how much time he was spending with Vanessa, as they prepare for the ITV show.
This is the third time that Vanessa has been linked to the split of her celebrity partner from their lovers, in the past two years.
According to sources, she has had enough of fingers being pointed in her direction and has responded angrily to the new accusations.
Speaking to The Sun, a source said: “Vanessa is hugely embarrassed by this. She’s insisted she has nothing to do with Joe and Nicole breaking up.
“Vanessa has been accused of being at the centre of other partners’ splits but she says it’s purely coincidence. She doesn’t want to be seen as a man-eater."
Vanessa is thought to have struck strong relationships with her celebrity partners in the past, which has caused problems with their other halves at the time.
The source said that Vanessa "gets on well with Joe" and they have been "putting in long hours training" which has meant that they have been "spending a lot of time together."
It has been reported though, that "as far as she’s concerned" it is "nothing more than work."
Nicole, 24, is thought to have asked Joe to leave their home last week, as concerns about his relationship with Vanessa grew.
Love Island star Wes Nelson 'got too close' to Vanessa during the last series, and that led to his girlfriend at the time, Megan Barton Hanson, giving him the boot.
The year before, it was 32-year-old singer Jake Quickenden who saw his engagement called off after he partnered Vanessa on the show.
