Joey Essex and Vanessa Bauer have fallen for each other, a source has claimed
The 32-year old reality star is currently taking part in the ITV1 skating competition alongside professional partner Vanessa, 26,- who hails from Germany - and an insider has claimed that the pair are smitten although neither of them is sure that they want a "long term relationship."
A source told The Sunday Sun newspaper: "Vanessa and Joey have really fallen for each other but neither are sure if they want a long-distance relationship. t is going to come as a huge shock for the pair. Joey might be smitten, but he has a busy work schedule in the UK and doesn’t speak German."
The comments come just days after it was claimed that the former 'TOWIE' star This time I’ve got Joey with me. Obviously we have a bond like I didn’t
have with any of my other partners. It’s going to be special.
“I think it would be nice to see what’s going on on the outside – we’re
mainly interested in the ice rink to be honest.”
During the ‘Dancing on Ice’ Movie Week, Joey seemed to confirm claims they were dating when he planted a kiss on Vanessa’s lips – prompting her to lean away and look flustered.
Joey said about the moment: “I had asked Vanessa probably over 10 times,
‘You wouldn’t pull away would you? You want me to kiss you right?’ And she goes, ‘Yeah I want you to kiss me.’”
The pair have been romantically linked since they started rehearsals for the show and have been spotted spending time together.
Joey and Vanessa are set to go up against former Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson and his professional partner Olivia Smart as well as Drag Race UK
star The Vivienne and skater Colin Grafton in the show final on Sunday
(12.03.23), after
The Wanted singer Siva Kaneswaran and 'Coronation Street' actress Mollie Gallagher were last week voted off during a semi-final double elimination.
