The ex-boyfriend of Dancing on Ice professional Vanessa Bauer has claimed their two year relationship ended because he ‘couldn’t trust her.’

Louis Nathaniel says he feared they would ‘end up cheating on each other’ when he moved to Miami in January 2019 and Vanessa stayed in England to film the ITV skating series so they decided to break up instead.

The cruise ship dancer said he knew there was ‘no chance’ Vanessa would move abroad with him due to her love of the show.

“When I’m in the same country I trust her, but being in a different country I wasn’t sure how it was going to pan out.

“We didn’t ever want to end up cheating on each other so we thought it was better to end it,” Louis claims

For the upcoming series of Dancing on Ice, Vanessa has been paired with Emmerdale actor Joe-Warren Plant.

Last month it was revealed that Joe, 18, has split with his long-term girlfriend Nicola Hadlow, 24, after three years together.

Nicola was concerned the soap star was becoming more committed to the skating show than their relationship and she felt ‘sidelined.’

A source said: “Vanessa is hugely embarrassed by this. She’s insisted she has nothing to do with Joe and Nicole breaking up.

“Vanessa has been accused of being at the centre of other partners’ splits but she says it is purely coincidence. “She doesn’t want to be seen as a man-eater. She gets on well with Joe. “
