Last weekend Joey ended up in the bottom three with Siva Kaneswaran and Coronation Street actress Mollie Gallagher.

However, the judges chose to save the former TOWIE star meaning he went through to the final.

Body language expert, Darren Stanton, recently shared his thoughts on the finalists.

“I feel that whether it’s fatigue or the fact [Joey] is nearing the end of the competition, there is clearly an issue as to why he did not perform as well,” Darren said on behalf of Betfair.

In addition, he continued: “The Vivienne has been a strong competitor throughout.

“And is clearly popular with the public. I think her fall on the ice was an isolated incident, but shouldn’t hinder her performance or knock her confidence going into the final.”

Meanwhile, Darren said he believes The Vivienne will make it into the final two, with Nile being crowned as the show’s winner.

“Overall, Nile has been the most consistent over the course of the show. He has all the components for great success, including eye contact, reciprocal liking and genuine emotion with his partner Olivia,” he said.

The Dancing On Ice 2023 final airs tonight (March 12) at 6:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Emmerdale usually airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
