The 'Dancing on Ice' professional - who is paired up with Wes Nelson on the programme - shared a series of action shots taken during her professional routine with Hamish Gaman from Sunday's show (13.01.19), after the former 'Love Island' star accused Vanessa of trying to come between her and boyfriend Wes.

In the post, Vanessa wrote: "Because whenever I'm on the ice everything is good again, I'm so grateful for yesterday's voting window number.

"There is nothing in the world I am more passionate about and that makes me happier than figure skating! Last night's number was an absolute dream.

"I can't thank everybody enough for all the love and support #strongwoman #DancingOnIce #womenempowerment (sic)".

This comes after the 24-year-old reality star accused Vanessa of a "tactical break up" with partner Louis Nathaniel - which she announced just hours before the live show - and claimed the dancer has "never reached out" to her or invited her to watch her boyfriend Wes train for the ITV ice skating competition.

She wrote: "@Vanessabauer_skates love that you decide to announce your breakup with your boyfriend on the night of your 1st performance with my boyfriend!

"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 the tactical breakup got you the headlines you wanted babe. @wesnelson (sic)"

Megan has since taken to social media once again, to thank her fans for their support after the rant, and boyfriend Wes has defended her from trolls who said she looked sour-faced at the show.

Sharing a message from a fan who praised the star for speaking her mind, and stated she was the most "genuine and authentic of all the Love Island girls", Megan wrote: "Such a lovely message a lady wrote to Wes. I knew being famous wasn't going to b easy. But wow! Thank you all for your kind words. It has helped me Today more than you realise (sic)."

Wes too took to the platform, writing on his story: "Oh and give it a rest with this Dancing on Ice curse b******* as well it's laughable. (sic)"
