Joey Essex's romance with Dancing on Ice partner Vanessa Bauer was all but confirmed by the show's host Holly Willoughby, after she asked him a very leading question live on Sunday night's show.
One of ITV's biggest TV hits from the last 20 years, Dancing on Ice returned for a new series this weekend, with Holly once again taking the reins alongside her This Morning co-presenter Phillip Schofield. TOWIE favourite Joey was one of six celebs to make his skating debut on Sunday's launch show, performing alongside Vanessa, a former winner of the show, to classic track Mack the Knife.
The couple got a very respectable 27 out of 40 for their first skate and, after the judges had given their scores, Holly tried to dig for gossip, when she asked Joey: "It would be fair to say you're really enjoying this partnership aren't you?" Pausing for a few seconds, Joey replied: "Well yeah, I mean... she's easy on the eye," as Holly told him: "Yes she is an she's an excellent skater!"
