IT’S TIME for Vanessa Bauer to lace up her boots, as the full line-up for ITV’s Dancing on Ice is nearly complete.
The celebs hitting the rink alongside the German figure skater, 24, include actor Jason Donovan, TV host Denise Van Outen and radio presenter Myleene Klass.
Pro Vanessa joined the contest in 2018, and won her first series with singer Jake Quickenden, 32.
She’s been runner-up twice since, with Diversity’s Perri Kiely, 24, and Love Island’s Wes Nelson, 22
In January 2019, Vanessa experienced the wrath of Wes’ girlfriend at the time, Megan Barton Hanson.
The Love Island star basted the pro ice skater for her “tactical break up” with her boyfriend and not introducing herself to her at the show.
Taking to Instagram stories, Megan said: “@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”
But keen to show she knew she was in the right, skater Vanessa hit back by sharing a snap of her and dance partner Hamish Gaman. It included a funny fan comment that read: “The moment she wins the argument. And she knows it.”
Agreeing with the remark, Vanessa shared the post with a laughing emoji. It’s after she wrote an emotional post about “women empowerment” in a sly dig at Megan following their bust-up.
Addressing Megan’s firey post for the first time, Vanessa told fans: “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 nights number was an absolute dream. I can’t thank everybody enough for all the love and support #strongwoman #DancingOnIce #womenempowerment.”
