Vanessa Bauer has heaped praise on celebrity partner and rumoured boyfriend Joey Essex for keeping his 'promise' to her as the pair caused a bit of an upset in the Dancing on Ice final by making it into the final two.
A former winner alongside Jake Quickenden back when the show made its return to ITV in 2018, Vanessa has had a run of brilliant partners since joining the ranks and has made the final once again, alongside former TOWIE favourite Joey. The surprise package of Dancing on Ice 2023, Joey has been a consistent high scorer on the rink, although he did have to rely on victory in the last skate-off of the series last weekend to make it through to Sunday's final.
And it is for that reason that Joey and Vanessa, who were 'outed' as a couple by Holly Willoughby back in the first live show, went into the finale as outsiders to triumph, with eventual champion, Olympian Nile Wilson the hot tip to win.
