Megan Barton Hanson tells fans to 'unfollow' her 'asap' after criticism for 'disgusting' Wes Nelson remark

Megan Barton Hanson has clapped back at critics who slammed her “disgusting” remark about Wes Nelson.

The Love Island star told people to unfollow her on Instagram after she said she would “rather s*** in my hands and clap” than rekindle her romance with the Dancing on Ice star.

Fans accused her of embarrassing Nelson while others branded her comment “awful” and “disgusting”.

Hitting back she wrote: “Just clocked the headlines if you don’t like my crude sense of humour I suggest you unfollow asap.”

She finished the Instagram post with two crying with laughter emojis.

Nelson appeared to hint that the pair have a tumultuous relationship following their split, which they announced in January on Instagram with a statement mocking Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s famous “consciously uncoupling” break-up post.

Speaking on Loose Women he said: “We haven’t spoken in a good amount of time. Sometimes its civil, sometimes it’s not. I’m happy to be civil. I’m not malicious or bitter. Whatever happens, happens.”

Asked if he would consider getting back together with Barton Hanson he replied: “I don’t think so, no. It’s sad but sadly I don’t think so.”

Wes Nelson dismisses Vanessa Bauer rumours

Barton Hanson accused Nelson of not fighting to save their seven month romance and also accused Dancing on Ice bosses of sabotaging their relationship by partnering Nelson with Vanessa Bauer, who Barton Hanson described as the “hottest dancer”.

Nelson, who shut down all talk of a romance between himself and Bauer, has reportedly been dating Instagram model Lissy Roddy. The pair met at a fashion party in Dublin thrown by online clothing brand Nasty Gal, according to The Sun.

A source told the publication: “He’s been seeing Lissy for a few weeks now. Although it's early days, they’ve been inseparable and they’re having a great time together.”

Standard Online has contacted representatives for Nelson for comment.
