LOVE Island star Wes Nelson has not yet introduced his sexy girlfriend Megan Barton Hanson to his Dancing On Ice partner.

But hunky Wes, 20, who is partnered with reigning champion Vanessa Bauer, 22, is looking forward to the two women in his life meeting ahead of tomorrow night’s live show.

Vanessa won the ITV show with Jake Quickenden last year, but the profession­al skater says Wes is better at this stage of the competitio­n.

So much so that they’re even planning on doing the infamous headbanger move early on in the competitio­n.

Speaking exclusivel­y to the Daily Star, Wes says: “They’ve not met yet, but Megs will meet Vanessa tomorrow. She’s not been down to training yet as she’s been way too busy doing her own things.

“She’s so sweet and is super excited to meet Vanessa, as well as everyone else. Luckily she’s not the jealous type, and this is my career.

“She’s happy for me and will be down with the banners in the audience to watch me.

We’ve got a strong relationsh­ip and this is just work. The long-term goal is to get married but we’re not rushing into anything.

“We don’t want to do that, we want a real relationsh­ip and will go at our own pace and do our own thing.

“I’m only 20 and Megs is only 24. It’s been difficult as I’ve been spending so much time training. But as long as we spend the time that we do have together making sure it’s quality time, then we’ll be OK.

“We’re so organised with our schedules that it’s a well-oiled machine so we both know what we’re doing and when we’ve got time to spend together.

“Megs has been really supportive and has been telling me to throw everything into doing Dancing On Ice. This is a once-in-alifetime opportunit­y, and it was a show that I wanted to do even before I went on Love Island. Although the only skating I’d done before this was at Christmas when I was drunk on mulled wine!”

The former nuclear systems design engineer also revealed that the loved-up couple have turned down a mega-bucks offer to film a reality show about their relationsh­ip.

Money

He adds: “We’ve been in chats and we’re not really sure if we want to do a fly-ona-wall documentar­y.

“We want to do something more original. We don’t want to crumble and take a load of money to do a certain show, we want to do something that is more individual. We’ve
