EXCLUSIVE: Dancing on Ice star Vanessa Bauer is ‘dating Love Island’s Jordan Hames’… after pair are spotted looking intimate at NTAs after party
Dancing on Ice stunner Vanessa Bauer is reportedly dating Love Island star Jordan Hames, MailOnline can exclusively reveal.
The pair were ‘all over each other’ at the National Television Awards after party on Tuesday and couldn’t stop smiling as they took a cab home together.
An onlooker revealed: ‘Vanessa and Jordan left the event holding hands – it was obvious to those around them that they’ve been seeing each other for a while.’

A second source added: ‘Jordan has been coming down to Dancing on Ice every week to support Maura, which is where he’s also got to know Vanessa.
‘Mutual friends say they’re the perfect match and are smitten – though it’s definitely still early days.’
Vanessa, 23, has been single since last January when she split from long-term boyfriend Louis Nathaniel.
The pair ended their two-and-a-half year romance amid speculation that Vanessa had a fling with Dancing on Ice partner and former Love Island star Wes Nelson, 21.

Megan Barton-Hanson, 25, accused Vanessa of being ‘disrespectful’ for not inviting her to watch the pair train and pointed the finger at the pro skater for growing close to her then-boyfriend behind the scenes.
Speaking last January she said: ‘Every woman will tell you it’s not ideal to have your boyfriend spending 12 hours a day with another woman.
‘A little introduction from Vanessa would have gone a long way.’
But Vanessa has moved on from last year’s drama with Wes by romancing Jordan, 24, who last publicly dated Anna Vakili, 29, on Love Island.

Jordan was slammed for being ‘fake’ in the villa after making a move on India Reynolds, just hours after asking Anna to be his girlfriend.
In September the model was pictured passionately kissing TOWIE’s Ferne McCann, 29, but the pair both said their romance was just a ‘one night thing.’
This year Vanessa is coupled up with Diversity star Perri Kiely, 24, with the pair tipped to win the competition.
She was forced to pull out of Dancing on Ice at the start of the series after suffering a fall and concussion but returned to the ice a week later.
