Wes and Megan are one of the few Love Island couples still together since the show ended, and are often looking pretty loved up on Instagram.

But their romance might be slightly getting in the way of his Dancing on Ice progress, with the pair jetting off to Mauritius for a holiday in the middle of training.

And there’s been a bit of beef between Dancing on Ice pro Matt Evers and Megan after she admitted she's dreading seeing her boyfriend in 'unmanly' sequins.

Wes's participation in the show was announced on Maya Jama’s Radio 1 show, when he said: “Gemma Collins is going to wipe the floor with me, I’m super intimidated. I’ve been looking at the line up thinking ‘oh my gosh!’ Of course you’ll be seeing my hips on the ice and the hips don’t lie!”
