Dancing on Ice star Vanessa Bauer has spoken out after she missed out on winning the ITV skating competition alongside Joey Essex. The pair, who have been subject to romance rumours but are yet to officially confirm if they are an item, competed together for the last time on Sunday night (March 12).
Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were back rinkside as they prepared to crown the 2023 winners after several weeks of performances and eliminations. Judges Oti Mabuse, Ashley Banjo, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean were back on the ice panel to cast an expert eye but the final result was all down to the show's viewers.
Nile Wilson, Joey Essex, and The Vivienne all went head-to-head in a bid to lift the Dancing on Ice trophy and follow in the winning footsteps of 2022 winner Regan Gascoigne and 2021 champ Sonny Jay. The three finalists all skated an original, 'showcase' routine which had been choreographed by skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean before taking part in a skate battle to whittle the competition down from three to two remaining contestants.
