Joey Essex has addressed reports of a romance with his Dancing On Ice partner, Vanessa Bauer, saying they are “taking it slow”. The 32-year-old former The Only Way Is Essex reality star was questioned by co-hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls during an appearance on ITV’s Good Morning Britain on Tuesday.
He and Bauer posed for photos together at The Sun’s Who Cares Wins Awards in November and Essex has often gushed about her after their performances on the show. Asked whether he wanted to address the reports, he said: “I am open. I will answer.
“The truth is, obviously I am single, Vanessa is single. We go to the ice every day. It is cold. Got to keep each other warm. You know what I’m saying? So that’s it really. But, yeah, it’s all good.”
