Megan Barton Hanson Claims Wes Nelson 'Doesn't Love Her Back' Following Split

Love Island's Megan Barton Hanson has revealed she believes Wes Nelson "doesn't love her back" in her first interview since their split just two weeks ago.

"Wes is younger than me and wrapped up in the fame bubble - but I still love him, which is why it hurts so much.

"I fought and fought and fought for Wes but he doesn't love me back."

However, Meg is standing firm on her view that Vanessa intentionally announced her split on the first night of Dancing On Ice.

"I stick by my guns that Vanessa knew what she was doing posting that when she did; it was completely tactical," she said.

"The fact that the producers deliberately stirred things up by partnering Wes with the youngest, hottest girl annoyed me.

"Also the judges making comments like Jason [Gardiner] saying that Wes and Vanessa made a 'lovely couple' was frustrating."

Megan also joked she and Wes are going through a custody battle for their pet hamster, Jon Snow, who she referenced in her Gwyneth Paltrow style break up announcement.

Revealing they had split, Megan wrote on Instagram: "It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have been working hard for well under a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate.

"We are however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been. We are parents first and foremost, to one incredible wonderful hamster and we ask for his privacy to be respected at this difficult time.

"We haven't really conducted our relationship that privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.

"Love, Megan & Wes."
