Dancing On Ice fans think they spotted Joey Essex's dancing partner Vanessa Bauer looking "peeved" after his performance of the iconic Bolero in the final of the ITV. The Only Way Is Essex star and his professional skating partner went head to head with Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson on Sunday night (March 12) after RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne finished third.
They recreated Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean's famous Olympic gold medal-winning performance, but fans agreed that Vanessa couldn't seem to hide her disappointment. They also thought they clocked Vanessa mouthing instructions to Joey during their Bolero.
Voters seemed to agree that his performance fell short as Nile went on to lift the trophy. DavidMackayy tweeted: "Vanessa was talking him through what to do, very clumsy." And @petalthepeeg wrote: "He looked like he forgot half of that. You could see it on Vanessa's face."
