Joey Essex prompted Jayne Torvill to make a 'hidden' gesture in support of him on Sunday's Dancing on Ice, as she willed him on during an emotionally charged performance.
A real frontrunner for the Dancing on Ice title this year, Joey had two routines to get through this weekend. And, after finishing second with the judges for the celebs' solo skate, Joey was back on the rink alongside professional partner and rumoured girlfriend Vanessa Bauer for his 'personal' number, which he dedicated to his late mum.
In the VT that played out before his performance, Joey explained that his mum took her own life when he was just 10 and, the song he'd be skating to in her memory meant a lot as he remembered hearing it in the car while on a family holiday to Marbella after her death.
