Wes Nelson was pictured partying with a group of girls while girlfriend Megan Barton-Hanson pined for his return home.

Nelson, 20, greeted several female admirers as he attended a PA at Blackpool’s Home & HQ nightclub.

The electrical systems design engineer was snapped taking selfies and kissing fans on the cheek as he partied with them during the Bank Holiday.

Nelson was in demand as he danced with friends in his VIP area as well as grabbing the mic to show off his singing talents.

Barton Hanson, who has allegedly shunned PAs following her stint on Love Island, showed Nelson what he was missing at home after posting a sultry snap on Instagram.

The former glamour model posted a picture of herself in a plunging polka dot dress which she teamed with red lips.

She captioned the shot with a love heart and the words: “Imagining being reunited with @wes.nelson.”

Nelson and Barton Hanson met on Love Island earlier this year. The duo, who dumped their then respective partners Laura Anderson and Eyal Booker to be together, reached the final but lost out to champions Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham.

Barton Hanson recently addressed the backlash she sparked after ‘stealing’ Nelson from Anderson, saying it was not a “knee jerk” move.

“We’re making a TV show so things are portrayed in a certain way,” she said. “It’s dramatised. In the outside world I would have loved to go up to Laura first and be like, ‘I fancy Wes, I feel like there’s some chemistry there,’ but you see 45 minutes of it. I saw they were rowing.”

She continued: “If they were the perfect couple, I’m not a confident enough person I would roll up to Wes and say, 'oh hi, I fancy you,' if they were the perfect couple.

“There were cracks in it and we just gravitated towards each other.”
