Has Wes Nelson's new 'girlfriend' Lissy Roddy crashed his lads' trip to Los Angeles?

Wes Nelson’s rumoured love interest Lissy Roddy reportedly touched down in Los Angeles hours before the Love Island star landed in California.

The fashion influencer was pictured landing at LAX airport shortly before Nelson arrived at the same location with fellow Love Island contestant Jack Fowler, prompting reports that Roddy has ‘crashed’ their boys trip.

The coincidental timing added further fuel to speculation that the pair have struck up a romance following Nelson’s split from Megan Barton Hanson, who he met on the ITV2 dating show last summer.

Last month, The Sun reported that the former Dancing on Ice contestant had been dating the Instagram model for “a few weeks,” though the couple are yet to publicly confirm their romance.

“Everyone thought Wes was secretly with his skating partner Vanessa Bauer, but that couldn’t be further from the truth,” a source told the paper.

“He’s being seeing Lissy for a few weeks now. Although it’s early days – they’ve been inseparable and they’re having a great time together.”

Standard Online has contacted representatives for Nelson for comment.

Nelson and Fowler’s Californian trip appeared to double up as a Love Island reunion, with the pair joined by Adam Collard and Sam Bird, who also appeared in the 2018 edition of the show.

All four reality stars have documented their trip extensively on social media, with Nelson sharing footage of Collard getting a brand new tattoo, as well as clips from a trip to a skate park and scenic shots of the Los Angeles skyline.

Roddy, 24, does not feature in any of the group’s Instagram posts but has shared a string of snaps and videos on her own Instagram Stories including one showing off the Hollywood sign from her bedroom window.

The former engineer called time on his relationship with Barton Hanson back in January, with the pair confirming the news in a break-up statement which parodied Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s famous ‘conscious uncoupling’ announcement.
