Joey Essex has admitted he made a crucial mistake in the Dancing on Ice final, one which may have cost him victory, as he lost out to Nile Wilson on Sunday night. And his admission came as some viewers hit out at the fact that The Vivienne didn't make the last two ahead of him.
The underdog going into the all important final live show of the series, TOWIE and Ex on the Beach star Joey had been earmarked as a 'dead cert' for third place by the bookies but he and professional partner and rumoured girlfriend Vanessa Bauer upset the apple cart, finishing a place higher than predicted and challenging Nile and Olivia for the latest Dancing on Ice title.
There was a three way tie on the leaderboard after round one, the Showcase skates, as Joey, Nile and The Vivienne all got 40 out of 40; with Joey and Vanessa getting top marks for their Hercules themed routine. And then, after The Vivienne and Colin exited the competition in third, Joey and Vanessa and Nile and Olivia got to skate to Torvill and Dean's Bolero.
