Megan Barton Hanson has blamed “different priorities” for her split from ex-boyfriend Wes Nelson, hours after accusing Dancing on Ice bosses of sabotaging their relationship.
The former glamour model said she is in a different “stage” of her life to her former flame who is currently “living his best life”.
Writing in Grazia magazine, she said: “I really love Wes as a person, but we realised we are in very different stages of our lives and our priorities are different.
“I’m 24 and by the time I’m 30 I want to be engaged. Wes is only 20. He’s living his best life.”
Barton Hanson added that she really believed Nelson was “the one” and has vowed never to date in the public eye again.
She said: “I am hopeful for the future, although I do worry about finding the right person. I don’t want people to approach me because I’m ‘Megan from Love Island’.
“I am positive that I will meet someone who loves me for me, but I never want to date a person in the public eye ever again. It’s just so much pressure and it’s even more painful when it ends.”
The reality star previously accused Bauer of “tactically” announcing her split from her boyfriend hours before her first skate with Nelson and has since claimed show producers knew what they were doing.
She told OK!: “ The fact that the producers deliberately stirred things up by partnering Wes with the youngest, hottest girl annoyed me.
“I stick by my guns that Vanessa knew what she was doing posting that when she did; it was completely tactical.
“Also the judges making comments like Jason [Gardiner] saying that Wes and Vanessa made a ‘lovely couple’ was frustrating.”
Barton Hanson and Nelson both vowed to “co-parent” their hamster Jon Snow and hilariously asked for privacy for the “wonderful” pet.
