‘Love Island’ beauty Megan Barton Hanson admitted she felt like she needed to “block” ex Wes Nelson out of her life while she tries to move on from their split.
The ‘Love Island’ star – whose relationship with Wes ended six months after they met on the ITV dating show – admitted it’s still “too fresh”, and so she made the decision to “cut him off” to give herself the best chance of moving on.
Speaking on ‘Heart Breakfast’, she said:
“We’re not talking. I think it’s hard when you break up because we got on so well and it wasn’t like we had done anything to each other – it was just circumstance and age and priorities.
“So for me I had to just cut him off to be able to heal and move on. It’s hard… It’s just too fresh right now. It’s not malicious but I just needed to be strong and just block him for a while – so there are times when you do go back to your flat and you’re lonely it’s like ‘oh his number’s here shall I text him’.
“Well I need to just be strong – it’s nothing malicious. I think in the future we’ll be really good friends but right now it’s so fresh.”
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old beauty also revealed her plans to move away from reality television and explore other options in her career.
She explained:
“I want to get in to more presenting, like I love what Stacey Dooley does and I think I’ve had such an interesting past and I love to speak about mental health and working in the sex industry and stuff like that.
“So I want to do more serious – my days of reality are done.”
She has even ruled out the possibility of appearing on the likes of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ or ‘Dancing On Ice’.
She laughed:
“‘Dancing on Ice’? Could you imagine me? I can’t even dance let alone on ice. No.”
