The iconic move, which is particularly difficult for the male skater to perfect, has proved challenging for Wes especially after suffering an injury during trainingAfter slipping on the ice, Vanessa came rushing over to check on her partner, however Wes appeared in agony as he lifted his head from the ground.
Wes then gingerly pulled himself up from the floor and made his way to the side of the rink, where he sat with an ice pack on his knee in a bid to ease the swelling.
However Wes wasn't out of action for long, following an evening of resting his knee, he returned to the ice to perfect the headbanger move with Vanessa.

Megan and Wes had been dating for seven months since appearing on Love Island together, and had moved in with one another.
Megan struggled with Wes' relationship with his professional skating partner Vanessa, but has said she wasn't the cause of their split.
She was mad that Vanessa didn't reach out to her, said she got the best of Wes due to his intense training schedule and said SHE wanted to be on the ice with him.A source close to Megan claimed she and Wes split because 'their sex life was suffering' thanks to his grueling Dancing On Ice rehearsal regime.
Meanwhile, Megan said she had the 'worst day' of her life following the split. The Love Island star parted ways with her other half last week and admitted her anxiety has risen as a result.
But Wes isn't letting the break-up get to him as he shared a cryptic uplifting Instagram post on Monday about 'being happy'.
