Joey Essex has been handed a huge Dancing on Ice boost, after his impressive debut has see his odds of winning the show slashed, with him now second favourite to triumph.
Joey and professional partner, former champion Vanessa Bauer got everyone talking when they opened last Sunday's launch show, as Dancing on Ice returned for a new series. Their polished routine to big band anthem Mack the Knife took a lot of people by surprise and saw them end the night in second spot on the leaderboard, as early tip to win, Ekin-Su ended up in the skate-off.
Joey and Vanessa also became a hot topic for another reason, as host Holly Willoughby seemingly 'confirmed' the romance rumours surrounding the pair, by asking ex TOWIE star Joey: "It would be fair to say you're enjoying the partnership right?"
