Dancing on Ice star Joey Essex has finally addressed being 'pied' by Vanessa Bauer live on the show. The pair have made it through to the final of the ITV skating competition which takes place on Sunday (March 12) following an emotional skate last weekend.
During the penultimate show of the series, former The Only Way is Essex star Joey performed a tear-jerking skate with Vanessa to High by Lighthouse Family in memory of his mother, who took her own life when he was aged 10. In the video before his routine, Joey called himself a "mummy’s boy", adding that the track reminded him of a time just after her death when he was in Marbella.
After scoring 38, the reality star said: "I did it for my mum, I also did it for Vanessa, she lost her dad last year. There is light at the end of the tunnel," which led to his skating partner bursting into tears. Also struggling to hold back his tears, judge Christopher Dean told Joey: "You did your mum proud."
