Tonight. High School Musical. Breaking free
Joey made an appearance on Good Morning Britain last month where he was grilled on his bond with Vanessa.
He said on GMB: “The truth is obviously, you know, I’m single, Vanessa is single.
“We go to the ice every day. It’s cold. We’ve got to keep each other warm. You know what I’m saying? So that’s it really.”
Vanessa and Joey romance rumours
The pair have even faced questions on Dancing On Ice from the judges and hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
During the show a couple of weeks ago, Joey had said he had “fallen in love” with ice skating after his Paso Doble styled performance.
Phil then asked: “With ice skating?”
Joey replied: “I’ve fallen in love with Paso.”
Phil asked: “Anything else?”
Joey responded: “Erm, no. Just the ice.”
