Megan Barton-Hanson blasted by Dancing On Ice star Matt Evers after saying their outfits were 'unmanly'

The pro skater, 42, who is partnered with Gemma Collins on this year's series, blasted Megan's comments and insisted there's "nothing unmanly" about the show.

Taking to Twitter, he wrote: "Hmmmm Megan…. don't think picking girls up for a living and wearing Lycra…. is unmanly or cringey (see second pic).

"This show is my career and my passion. It's unfair to criticize this show and the work we are all putting in. There's nothing unmanly about @dancingonice (sic)".

Matt's comments come after Megan admitted she was going to "cringe so hard" watching boyfriend Wes on the programme in his sequinned outfits.

When asked if she will go to the studio to support him, she replied: "Do you know what? I'm nervous to see him in sequins.

"I think I'm going to cringe so hard. That is so not manly. So we'll see how it goes. First week, if he's not absolutely repulsive and cringing me out, I might go back."

Megan also admitted she finds it hard to watch the "ballroom faces" the skaters pull on the ice.

Speaking to Fabulous magazine, she added: "It's the ballroom faces they do. I can't watch that."

But Wes hasn't been hard at training recently as his pro partner Vanessa Bauer admitted last week that he has missed some sessions while on holiday in Mauritius.

During an appearance on This Morning, Vanessa admitted Wes was "very talented" on the ice but said it was tough fitting training around his hectic schedule.

She said: "Well rehearsals are going well whenever we are on the ice training. He is very, very, ambitious and he is very talented as well.

"He really wants to get far in this competition and he is so tight on his schedule. He has so many appearances everywhere; he is so high-on demand, which is amazing for him!

"He is in Mauritius at the minute on holiday."

Luckily for Wes, Vanessa admitted she didn’t mind him taking a holiday because of his natural talent on the rink.

She added: "I am very confident that we are going to catch up on the training because he picks everything up so fast. He is a very natural skater already."
