The pair were given a whopping 29 out of 40 which is an impressive score for the second week on the skating show, prompting Holly Willoughby to ask if their romance had anything to do with it.
Holly complimented their impressive dance routine before adding: “You’re like a real life Sandy and Danny out there, have you got something you want to tell us you two?”

Joey cheekily responded: “Danny and Sandy are getting on pretty well, if you know what I mean!”, telling Holly the pair are “going steady”.
Phillip Schofield cheekily chirped: “So are you confirming that?” prompting Joey to hold his hands up and shout: “I’m not confirming anything!”
Fans couldn’t help but share their support for the pair as rumours of their romance became heightened.

Another said: “I just adore Joey and Vanessa,” while a third chirped: “So Joey and Vanessa are together? They’re so cute”
Joey and Vanessa have been working together for weeks as they trained ahead of the show – and it seems they’ve managed to get very close during that time.
Joey previously told Lorraine Kelly that he thought Vanessa was a “lovely girl”, as he declared she is a “great partner”.

He said Vanessa was someone who made him “really happy” and said he loved spending so much time with her.
The pair previously denied romance rumours with Vanessa claiming in December that they are “just skating partners”, but it seems things may have taken a swift turn.
Joey and Vanessa managed to impress once again on the ITV1 show and sailed through to the next week after their performance.
Dancing on Ice returns next week on ITV.
