Megan Barton Hanson open to dating women in wake of Wes Nelson split

Megan Barton Hanson has revealed she is bisexual in the wake of her split from Wes Nelson.

The pair, who met on Love Island, called time on their six month romance last month, with Barton Hanson appearing to blame Nelson’s Dancing on Ice stint for the split.

The reality star opened up about her love life, saying she would be open to dating men and women in the future.

She continued: “I think more people who have this platform need to speak out to younger girls honestly, saying things like, ‘I’ve had a few sexual partners, I’ve always practiced safe sex. I appreciate women and I appreciate men’.

“The more we’re all open about it, then the less taboo it becomes.”

Barton Hanson said Nelson was too young for her and that despite her blaming Dancing on Ice bosses for teaming Nelson up with the “hottest” professional skater Vanessa Bauer, she had underlying issues with the young star.

Speaking about Bauer's alleged frosty attitude towards her, Barton Hanson said: “As a woman it would have been so easy for her to reach out, but when we met she was very cold.

“It was always underlying issues with me and Wes, though.”

Her comments came as former Love Island star Charlie Brake addressed rumours he is dating the model.

The pair were pictured partying together at Tape nightclub, but Brake insisted the pair are friends.

One fan asked “You and Meg? What’s the deal?” to which he replied: “Just out n about with my mate….”
