Who is Vanessa Bauer? Meet the Dancing On Ice icon who dated TOWIE legend Joey Essex
Vanessa Bauer is one of the most prominent of the 12 professionals on Dancing On Ice 's 16th series. Meet the figure skater who dated reality TV legend Joey Essex.
She went on to perform on luxury cruise ships for Royal Caribbean before moving to north London in 2017 to join ITV's roster of ice skaters. She almost matched that feat in the two successive years with Love Island's Wes Nelson and Diversity's Perri Kiely finishing runners up with Vanessa in 2019 and 2020 respectively. Her 2021 partner, Emmerdale actor Joe-Warren Plant withdrew during series 13, before Vanessa bounced back for another second-placed finish in 2022 with Strictly Come Dancing professional Brendan Cole.
