At the start of the series, Wes was coupled up with Laura Anderson, but the pair uncoupled half-way through the show, with Megan later catching his eye.
Dancing On Ice - 2019
Following his stint on Love Island, Wes signed up to the 2019 series of Dancing On Ice, where he was paired with professional skater Vanessa Bauer.

The band split not long after the show finished, with Wes going on to pursue his solo career.
Celebrity Antiques Road Trip - 2019
