Preston: The beauty salon where Ryan Wellings’ new girlfriend worked has confirmed she’s out of a job. Emma Croft was employed at The Powder Room in Bispham.
She was there to support Wellings during his trial for serious charges, including manslaughter and assault. Sadly, Kiena Dawes, his former partner, took her own life in 2022.
Wellings was found guilty of assault and controlling behavior. After his conviction, he blew a kiss to Croft in court, which raised eyebrows.
The salon faced some heat over Croft’s connection to Wellings. They posted a statement on Facebook saying she no longer works there and asked for kindness towards their staff.
It’s not clear when Croft left the salon, but reports say she and Wellings’ mother are under police investigation for allegedly coaching him during the trial.
Wellings was cleared of unlawfully killing Kiena, who left a heartbreaking note calling him a “monster” before her tragic death.
This case is pretty unusual, as Wellings was the first to face trial for the unlawful killing of a partner after domestic violence led to suicide. He was found not guilty after a lengthy trial.
