In recent weeks fans have been wondering if Joey, 32, and Vanessa, 26, are an item.
Tonight the professional skater couldn’t help but make a cheeky comment about the Towie star in the VT before their performance.
“It would be such a dream to go all the way with you,” Vanessa said.
Joey replied: “Aw that’s cute!”
That’s not the only bit that has indicated that the pair are very close.
In another clip Joey said: “Vanessa is single… I am single, there is going to be a little bit of flirting going on…”
The pair managed to bag 27 out of a possible 40 points tonight.
It comes just days after Joey opened up about his romance with Vanessa.
After being paired up with the German skating champion, the duo are now dating, and Joey admitted that he is struggling to keep his hands to himself.
“I’m truly blessed to be paired with Vanessa, I was very happy,” Joey said with a smile in an exclusive chat with The Celeb Report ahead of the series.
He added: “You’re close and you are touching each other’s legs . . . and everywhere else. You are very intimate and it can happen.
“Honestly I don’t know how people do this show when they’re married — it would be a disaster.
“People were saying to me, like, ‘If I was married . . . God!’ Lucky I ain’t got a ring on my finger, eh?”
The pair have grown very close
They were awarded 27 points tonight
