VANESSA Bauer looked sensational at a star-studded boxing premiere as she put her ‘split’ with Joey Essex behind her telling pals: ‘I just want to have fun.’

All eyes were on Vanessa as she stepped out in a plunging ballgown which showed off her stunning figure.

The ITV star let her hair down at the Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World gala where she mixed with a room full of boxers on her girls’ night out.

Vanessa was joined by a glam list of stars at London’s plush The Ham Yard Hotel including Chris Eubank Jr, Harlem Eubank, the legendary Michael Watson MBE and Barry McGuigan MBE, as well as Love Island stars Jack Fowler, Toby Aromolaran, AJ Bunker, and Elle Spence.

Vanessa, who made it to the DOI finals with her ex ‘beau’ Joey who is now set to move to Dubai, said: “I’m just having a good time. I’m out with my girls to have fun.”

She certainly did, as she kicked up her heels for a night out with reality TV stars including TOWIE’S Saffron Lempriere, Kris Boyson and Abbie Quinnen.

Just last week Vanessa set tongues wagging after she stepped out to the Peter Pan and Wendy premiere with a mystery man.

Vanessa looked stunning in her fairytale mauve ballgown for the glam event at the Curzon Mayfair.

Her companion looked smart in a tweed three-piece suit, as the pair relaxed and enjoyed the star-studded evening together.

Her night out came as Joey is reportedly moving to Dubai.

The Towie star will embark on a new chapter abroad just weeks after landing second place on the ITV show with stunning Vanessa.

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.”

Big George Forman is out only in cinemas now.
