Dancing On Ice star Joey Essex has broken his silence on what sounds like a seriously steamy snog with Love Island beauty Maura Higgins.
Former TOWIE star Joey and Maura, who competed on Dancing On Ice in 2020, were spotted smooching at the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards in October last year.
And while the duo have kept quiet, Joey, 32, has now revealed all – or at least as much as he claims he remembers.

The Essex chap tried to get out of answering in a new interview, saying: “I don’t know! I can’t even remember!”
However when probed further by heat magazine Joey confessed: “I mean all I remember is her tongue being down my throat to be honest!”
It’s noted in the weekly mag that Joey’s publicist then steps in and asks for the interviewer to move on to a different topic of conversation.
At the time, it was reported that Joey pulled Maura in tight without seeming to care who noticed.
They then left London’s Grosvenor House in a taxi together, with Maura hiding the pair’s kiss behind her dress.
But in more recent times, the spotlight has been on Joey’s relationship – working or not – with his Dancing On Ice partner Vanessa Bauer.
Fans have been wondering if he and the 26-year-old skating pro have progressed from a professional relationship to a romantic.
On Sunday night’s (January 15) episode, Vanessa gushed over Joey when she said in a VT: “It would be such a dream to go all the way with you.”
And Joey responded: “Aw that’s cute!”
When Maura competed on Dancing On Ice in 2020 she was in a relationship with her Love Island co-star Curtis Pritchard.
Maura was partnered with pro skater Alexander Demetriou however they were eliminated sixth.
In recent years, Dancing On Ice has not been complete without a Love Islander competing, and this year the opportunity was given to 2022 winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu.
However she hasn’t got off to the greatest of starts, as she has found herself in the first skate off of the series.
