Vanessa Bauer has admitted that things didn't 'go to plan for her and Joey Essex in the Dancing on Ice final, after fans flooded Twitter with complaints about their Bolero routine on Sunday night.
While they have been consistent high scorers and big favourites with the judges all series, Joey and Vanessa had to fight to even be in this weekend's live finale, having landed in the skate-off at the end of the semi. Thankfully for the, as rivals Siva Kaneswaran and Mollie Gallagher were sent packing, Joey and Vanessa received the unanimous backing of all four judges, sealing their place in the battle for the 2023 trophy.
Given their skate-off setback a week earlier, bookies made Joey and Vanessa the outsiders to win Dancing on Ice going into the final, so it came as a bit of a shock that they finished one place higher than expected, as THe Vivienne and Colin ended up bowing out in third place.
