And Wes Nelson and his professional partner Vanessa Bauer delivered another stellar performance on Sunday's Dancing On Ice semi-finals. Standing out in bright neon green ensembles for the first performance of the night, the Love Island star, 20, and the German skater, 22, wowed the judges with his skilled reverse layback lift, scoring an impressive 37.5 points out of 40. Elsewhere in the episode, Wes broke down in tears over his failed relationship with Megan Barton Hanson whilst talking about his chosen skate song The TV personality has reached the semi-final of the ITV show alongside professional partner Vanessa, 22, and this week the contestants must pick a song that means something to them. But when speaking about his hopes to find a love like theirs, the star couldn't help the tears from falling when his thoughts turned to Megan from whom he split with earlier this year. Speaking in a VT ahead of his performance, Wes said: 'It's my parents wedding song. My mum and dad genuinely mean the absolute world to me. I can't even thank them enough for how much they've done for me. It's a big thank you to them really.' Singer Saara Aalto and her professional partner Hamish Gaman kicked off the show with an impressive routine to Katy Perry's Hot N Cold, which they finished off with a tricky headbanger move - scoring the highest score of the series with 35 points. Providing the pair with a lukewarm response, judge Jayne said: 'I wanted a bit more from you, but as a whole, I thought the performance was great.' An impressed Jason added: 'Tonight, you were up on top. After weeks of being unpredictable, you really gave it all with your heart.' James put on a defiant display on the rink, as he had been left in agony after ripping open his own hernia during rehearsals ahead of the semi-final. The former Strictly star's injury has left bosses fearing that he may be forced to leave the competition completely. He told the Daily Star: 'I've ripped open my hernia. I've also got lower back pain because of it. I'm falling to bits. Managing injuries is getting harder as you get older.' James also said his injury has made it hard for him to train and added that his fellow contestants were 'terrified' when they saw him double up in agony. The accident comes a little over a year since James endured an operation for a double hernia.
