  • Joey Essex and his Dancing on Ice skater Vanessa Bauer have reportedly split – just one day after confirming their romance.

    The lovebirds remained coy about their relationship status during the competition, but earlier this week Vanessa confirmed the pair were together.

    But now, it has been reported that Joey and Vanessa are no longer dating – and haven’t seen each other since the series came to an end in March.

    A source told MailOnline: "Joey absolutely loved his time performing with Vanessa on Dancing On Ice – he will treasure those memories forever.

    "But for now, he's focussing on work opportunities and beginning a new chapter in Dubai. "He's definitely single and while Vanessa means a lot to him because of the experience they shared on the show, they're just friends now."

    The insider went on to claim how Joey is focused on his career and house move.

    Daily Star has reached out to Joey and Vanessa's representatives for comment.

    Earlier this week, Vanessa spoke about her romance with Joey and said" Me and Joey, we're doing very good – we are doing really good at the moment."

    Asked if she was romantically happy, Vanessa said: "I'm very happy."

    Much has been said about a romance between the pair after fans first spotted their chemistry during week one of Dancing On Ice.

    The close bond they share was evident from their respective social media pages and even hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have quizzed them about their 'romance'.

    During the final, Joey said she was the perfect coach and spoke of their unbreakable bond as he thanked her.

    "She is the best. I couldn’t be anymore proud of myself and of her," he added.
