Love Island 2018's Megan Barton Hanson and Wes, 20, announced their split on Instagram on Saturday. Despite this, Megan, 24, turned up to the Dancing on Ice studio tonight to cheer on her ex and his skating partner Vanessa Bauer on the show tonight. However, is Megan trying to win Wes back? Body language expert Judi James said some of the blonde star's gestures on the ITV show tonight could suggest Megan wants Wes back. Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Online, Judi said: "Megan seemed to be doing quite a lot of hair preening, which could have shown a desire to attract attention and admiration – so maybe a display to get back with Wes." The expert said that Megan was "putting up a mask" during most of the show tonight though. She added: "The last time we saw Megan at the show she appeared to be watching Wes like a hawk following a spat with Vanessa, but she'd clearly decided to mask any negative thoughts or emotions tonight. (Image: INSTAGRAM/MEGAN BARTON HANSON) (Image: ITV) "Only a slight downward tilt of the corners of her mouth hinted at any mixed emotions but why she would want to turn up after seeming to pull the plug on their relationship is baffling." Megan said that she'd gone along to the show to support Wes, however her appearance could have done more harm that good, according to Judi. Judi continued: "It (Megan's presence) didn't seem to help Wes who looked rather anxious and distracted at times. "He forgot his steps part way through an otherwise great performance." (Image: ITV) (Image: GETTY IMAGES) ITV viewers were baffled by Megan's Dancing on Ice appearance tonight, with one Twitter user asking: "Why is Megan there if they have split up?" Another added: "Bit weird that Megan's sat in the audience watching Wes when they split up." Meanwhile, Wes took to his Instagram story before the show to tell fans it had been a tough week.<doc-sep>They found love in the villa, and stuck together in the outside world — so why did Love Island's Megan and Wes break up? Megan Barton-Hanson announced her split from Wes Nelson via her Instagram story on Saturday, as Digital Spy reports, parodying Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's now legendary "consciously uncoupling" statement. Earlier this week, the pair looked as close as ever on the National Television Awards red carpet, while Barton-Hanson has been cheering Nelson on as he appears in Dancing on Ice. Why, then, did the couple decide to call it quits? In perhaps one of the best celebrity breakup announcements in recent years, Barton-Hanson almost perfectly replicated Paltrow and Martin's separation announcement from 2014. "It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate," she wrote. "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, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much, we will remain separate." Barton-Hanson tweaked the original ever so slightly: where Paltrow and Martin referred to their "two incredibly wonderful children," the Love Island star wrote, "We are parents first and foremost, to one incredibly wonderful hamster." And while Paltrow and Martin stressed the privacy of their relationship, Barton-Hanson nodded to the reality show on which she met Nelson, writing, "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." Veering from the script in a subsequent story, Barton-Hanson added a sweet note about her former boyfriend. "In all seriousness, I am so grateful and so blessed to have found Wes, I will always love and adore him and I am so lucky to call him my best friend," she posted, adding, "We are both looking forward to moving on together as friends and supporting each other in everything we do." Neither Barton-Hanson nor Nelson divulged the reasons for the break-up, though it's been a difficult month for the couple. Barton-Hanson criticised Nelson's Dancing on Ice partner, Vanessa Bauer, on Instagram, for what she called a "tactical breakup" with Bauer's former boyfriend as the live shows began. She added, "You've never reached out to me once or invited me to watch you train," saying that when she met Bauer, the skating pro "didn't even look [her] in the eye." During an appearance on Loose Women, as Digital Spy reports, the Love Island alum explained, "As a woman, she should have reached out to me and introduced herself to me." She rejected critics' claims that she was insecure about her relationship with Nelson, saying it was "human nature" to be unsettled by the "romantic dances" on Dancing on Ice. She stressed that she would continue to support Nelson and Bauer on the show, however, and said that she was "resolving" her conflict with Bauer. Barton-Hanson came under some harsh criticism from Dancing on Ice pro Matt Evers, who accused her of looking "a little bit sour" while supporting Nelson in the audience. Thankfully, Nelson came to his then girlfriend's defence, writing on Instagram, "Give the damn girl a break." Notably, Barton-Hanson ended her breakup post with a statement of support for Nelson and Bauer, saying she'd continue to cheer them on from the Dancing on Ice audience. "Only one thing left to say," she wrote. "Come on Wes and Vanessa!" Looks like Megan and Wes will be keeping the details of their breakup private, then — and fans should probably refrain from speculation.<doc-sep>Keep in touch with news on your show faves and when Love Island is back with our weekly newsletter Invalid Email Something went wrong, please try again later.

The couple, who fell for each other on Love Island , have announced they have parted ways after a difficult few weeks. Glamour model Megan, 24, recently admitted to feeling "jealous" over her 20-year-old boyfriend's close working relationship with his Dancing On Ice partner Vanessa Bauer, 22. The couple's Camden flat was also burgled this week, while Megan was hospitalised after suffering from a kidney infection. The pair's romance had a controversial start after Megan was seen to "lure" Wes away from his then-girlfriend Laura Anderson on the ITV2 show in June. After leaving the Majorcan villa, Wes and Megan moved in together immediately, but it appears the pressure of having a relationship under the spotlight has split them up. Here's how Megan and Wes's turbulent relationship started out... 4 June 2018 Wes is one of the first contestants to enter the Love Island villa on Day 1 and immediately couples up with Scottish air hostess Laura - nine years his senior. (Image: ITV Picture Desk) 10 June Megan enters the villa as a single lady and finds Eyal Booker and Dr Alex George vying for her attention. 13 June Megan upsets Dr Alex as she chooses to couple up with Eyal after sharing a few kisses with the male model. 14 June Wes tells Laura he is "falling for her" after just a week, however older and wiser Laura is more cautious, declaring: "He doesn't even know what love is!" 21 June Megan and Eyal are the first couple on the 2018 series to have sex during a passionate night in the hideway. (Image: ITV Picture Desk) 24 June Wes and Laura are the latest inductees to the 'Do Bits Society' as they take their relationship to the next level, although both vehemently denied they had full sex together when they left the show. (Image: ITV) 25 June Megan and Eyal row after he mistakenly guessed she's slept with 37 people instead of 20 during a 'Mr and Mrs' style game. Ranting in the beach hut, she said: "I'm really p**sed off Eyal said I’d slept with 37 people. I’m not the most innocent of girls, but it doesn't mean that I've gone around s**ging everyone I can. I was absolutely fuming." Their argument signals the beginning of the end for the good-looking couple. 26 June Megan dumps a shocked Eyal after claiming they had nothing in common and were only sexually attracted to each other. (Image: ITV) She then infuriates Laura when she kisses Wes during a truth or dare game as the Scot watches on. 27 June After ending her fling with Eyal, Megan makes a move on Wes and begs him to kiss her. Although Wes declines due to his situation with Laura, he does admit he fancies her. After some encouragement from villa bad boy Adam Collard , Wes decides to tell Laura how he feels, who promptly ends their coupling up so he's free to "crack on" with Megan. (Image: ITV2) (Image: ITV2) Megan is widely criticised on social media for 'smirking' as she watched Wes and Laura's relationship unravel from the sidelines and earns the nickname 'Muggy Megan'. Furious Laura labelled Megan a "sl*g", to which the model replied: "Did she just call me a sl*g? She's slept with more people than me!" Megan and Wes upset the whole villa after they decided to sleep in one of the outdoor beds just hours after he split from Laura. (Image: ITV Picture Desk) 28 June After just a day as an item (although not officially coupled up), Megan and Wes are separated after the boys are sent off to meet some new ladies at Casa Amor. Meanwhile, Megan is introduced to new boys Alex Miller and Dean Overson, who both have crushes on her. 29 June - 1 July Megan shares kisses with Dean Overson and Alex Miller while Wes is away in Casa Amor pining for her. 2 July Wes returns to the villa solo from Casa Amor and is shocked to find Megan has coupled up with Alex. (Image: ITV2) 5 July Despite Megan's status with Alex, lovesick Wes is determined to win her back and invites her on a date outside the villa. She soon realises she prefers him to Alex, who is dumped from the villa, leaving her to couple up with Wes. 10 July After a few days as a couple, Megan and Wes spend their first night together in the hideaway and consummate their romance with "two rounds". 11 July Megan shows she's a modern lady and goes against the villa tradition of the man asking the woman to become their official 'girlfriend' and pops the question to Wes, who was planning to ask her himself. She declared: "I know it's early. But you know, when you know and I really do like you. I want to prove to you how much I like you." 17 July Wes tells Megan he's "never been happier ever in my life" and he's falling in love with her after just two weeks. She returns the sentiment. (Image: ITV) 30 July After surviving a few public votes, Megan and Wes make it to the Love Island 2018 final. Unsurprisingly, they end up in fourth place, as many viewers have failed to forgive them for the controversial beginning to their romance. 7 August After just five weeks of dating, Wes quit his job as a nuclear systems design engineer and leaves his home in Staffordshire to move into Megan's flat in Southend, Essex. (Image: Instagram/wes.nelson) October The couple decide to move into a rented flat in Camden, north London and deny speculation they have split. Wes starts training for Dancing On Ice and is paired up with professional skater Vanessa Bauer. December The couple slam rumours they're engaged, but insist they're "happier than ever". Megan and Wes enjoy their first romantic holiday together on a sunshine-filled break in Mauritius, which is documented by loved-up paparazzi photos on the beach. 3 January 2019 Megan shares a candid message on Instagram, admitting she had a difficult 2018, but revealed her happiness in finding her "soulmate" Wes and said she hoped to marry him one day. 13 January Megan posts a scathing essay on Instagram accusing of Vanessa of trying to get "headlines" by announcing her split from boyfriend Louis Nathaniel the same day as Wes' debut skate on Dancing On Ice. She wrote: "@vanessabauer_skates love that you decide to announce your break-up with your boyfriend on the night of your 1st performance with my boyfriend. (Image: Instagram) "You've never reached out to me once or invited me to watch you train, it pained you to introduce yourself to me last night you didn't even look me in the eye LOL. "Hope your tactical breakup got you the headlines you wanted babe @wes.nelson." 16 January Megan admits she "hates" watching Wes skating with Vanessa in an interview and admits that knowing the professional skater is single makes it even harder. The Essex-native claimed Vanessa hadn't made an effort to invite her to rehearsals and found her "disrespectful" of her relationship with Wes. She told The Sun: "I don’t want to be a possessive girlfriend. I want her to reach out to me. I've had no communication with her for the past three months. I’m not jealous; it is just a lack of respect. I was pushed over the edge." 18 January Wes defends his girlfriend's jealous outburst and said she had cleared the air with Vanessa over a phonecall. He explained: "It's a lot of pressure for Megs. It's concluded. They've spoken to each other. They're happy. I don't even know what they spoke about, I just let women get on with their women talk." 20 January Megan is rushed to hospital after suffering from a kidney infection.<doc-sep>
