Vanessa Bauer’s hidden reaction to losing DOI final exposed with Joey hug

Dancing on Ice star Vanessa Bauer appeared to give her dance partner a reassuring look before it was annouced that they had come second place.

The jaw-dropping skating show ended on a high on Sunday night (March 12) as Olympic champ Nile Wilson and his dance partner Olivia Smart were crowned this year's winners.

But before the announcement was made by presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, celebrity psychic and body language expert Inbaal Honigman believes there were signs Vanessa knew she wasn't going to lift the trophy.

Talking exclusively to Daily Star, she said: "Vanessa and Joey came so close to winning, and would be forgiven if they had appeared disappointed at the moment of the victors' announcement, but actually their body language tells a different story.

"Upon hearing Nile and Olivia's names, Vanessa cocks her head to the side immediately, a sweet gesture that means 'never mind!'.

"She then turns and hugs Joey, both clearly remembering the special times they had during the show. This isn't a sad, comforting hug, but rather a moving hug of endings – their joint experience on the show lasted as long as it could possibly last.

"They both appear thankful for their adventure together," she explained.

Following his victory on Sunday night's show, Nile gave words of encouragement to those who were watching.

When asked how much winning meant to him, he said: "It's meant so much!

"I want to thank everyone that voted back home, I really appreciate it."

He added: "I just want to say, if Dancing on Ice is anything other than entertainment, we've got eleven human beings all different shapes and sizes stood on this stage tonight with an allocated time to get good at something and we've proved that we can do that.

"So what an inspirational show! If you put your mind to something and you work hard you can achieve anything you want."

Ahead of the final, Nile told Daily Star that he will be hanging up his skates once the show comes to an end.

He said: "My skates will be hung up in my wardrobe unless Olivia gives me a call and drags me back out."
