Love Island's Wes Nelson is 'horrified as co-parent ex Megan Barton Hanson KIDNAPS their hamster Jon Snow.

Love Island star Megan Barton Hanson is said to have kidnapped the pet hamster she shares with ex-beau Wes Nelson. 

The Dancing On Ice hunk was reportedly alarmed when he returned home and did not hear the sound of the hamster, who was the focal point of the couple's break-up announcement which was released on Saturday afternoon. 

A source told The Sun: 'Wes knew something was wrong the moment he came home from a day on the ice and couldn't hear the squeak-squeak of Jon Snow's wheel.

'It turned out Megan had swiped the hamster and the cage and hit the road - days after asking for privacy for the hamster and promising they would be co-parenting the pet. Wes was shocked she'd just taken Jon Snow without saying anything after everything she promised.'

Despite this it seems Wes understands the scenario and that he knows she will 'take good care of the pet as he hasn't got much time to play with him due to his Dancing On Ice training.'

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Wes and Megan for comment. 

Megan and Wes have been dating for seven months, since they appeared on Love Island together, and had moved in with one another.
