Love Island star Wes Nelson confirmed he is dating Instafamous fashion and beauty blogger Alicia Roddy after his highly-publicised split from Megan Barton-Hanson.

Rumours have been circulating for a while that the pair were dating after they were spotted on a night out together in Dublin with Wes' co-star Joshua Denzel.

Wes was keen to stress that the pair are just dating for now and not in a relationship, but he seemed positive about where things were heading while questioned by US reporters over his romantic status this week.

"Everything's chilling. I'm still dating Lissy," the reality star told OK! reporters, confirming that the pair are taking things slow for now. "Yeah of course, I'm not running into a relationship again."

He added: "I know they're putting a label on it as a girlfriend but obviously it's nothing official yet, we're still dating, it's nothing like that yet."

While they might not be boyfriend and girlfriend right now, fashion blogger Alicia jetted to Los Angeles to join Wes at a clothing launch last week, along with a number of Love Island stars, including Jack Fowler and Adam Collard.

"Things are going well for Wes and Lissy and the pair are now in Los Angeles at the same time for a Boohoo event," a source told OK! Online at the time.

They continued: "While Wes has flown in with Jack and Lissy was with her friend Emily, they will definitely spend time together on the trip alone."

Alicia, who is known as Lissy, boasts a 675,000 person strong following on Instagram, and has collaborated with a number of brands including Missy Empire and Boohoo.

Wes' split from co-star Megan in the middle of his Dancing On Ice stint, with the reality star confessing that the show put a strain on their relationship due to rehearsals and live performances.

Since their split, Megan has been linked to footballer Jaydon Gibbs.
