Dancing On Ice star Joe-Warren Planet has reportedly been seen looking close to professional skater Vanessa Bauer.
The Emmerdale actor, 18, who has played Jacob Gallagher on the hit ITV soap since 2010, is newly single after splitting from his model girlfriend Nicole Hadlow.
According to reports, Nicole moaned to fans she thought Joe wanted Dancing On Ice more than he wanted her.
Now Joe and Vanessa, 24, have been photographed leaving Slough ice rink together in a single car – despite two vehicles allegedly waiting for them.
An onlooker told The Sun: “They had two cars waiting but slipped into one and headed back to the hotel.

“They wore masks but were chatting animatedly and clearly getting on like a house on fire.”
Daily Star has contacted Joe’s reps for comment.
Like other members of Dancing On Ice 2021, Joe-Warren and Vanessa are staying at a hotel in Chesham ahead of the series launch in January.

Sources alleged that Nicole was left sidelined by Joe due to the gruelling training schedule he has signed up to for the winter series.
The same pressures are said to have been a large factor in Love Island duo Wes Nelson and Meghan Barton Hanson splitting when he took part in the show in 2019.
Meanwhile, Vanessa is also single after she split from her boyfriend Louis Nathaniel last year.
Dancing On Ice will return to the small screen in January next year, though ITV have yet to confirm an exact date.
Once again, Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield will return to host the show while Torvill and Dean, John Barrowman and Ashley Banjo will reprise their roles on the judging panel.
The official 2021 line-up is: Rufus Hound, Billie Shepherd, Lady Leshurr, Rebekah Vardy, Graham Bell, Colin Jackson, Sonny Jay, Jason Donavon, Faye Brookes, Denise Van Outen, Joe-Warren Plant and Myleene Klass.
