Vanessa Bauer appeared to make a subtle dig at Megan Barton Hanson after the Love Island star previously blasted Dancing on Ice producers for pairing Bauer with her then-boyfriend Wes Nelson.

The Dancing on Ice star shared a quote posted by her agent, which read: “You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything is said to you.

“True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.”

Bauer also thanked fans for their support, adding that they “mean the world” to her.

The post comes after Barton Hanson accused ITV of sabotaging her relationship with Nelson by pairing him with the “hottest girl” on the show, in reference to Bauer.

Barton Hanson had previously accused Bauer of “tactically” announcing her split from her boyfriend hours before her first skate with Nelson.

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 announced their split earlier this month in an Instagram post which parodied Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s “consciously uncoupling” speech.
