“We are both healthy physically and mentally and although the shock is still there also after missing one show it can now only go upwards… ⁣.

“10days ago @joewarren_plant and I got that call whilst training on the ice.

“It was a super busy day as usual, travelling on the train from Blackpool to London, training in the @dancingonice studio, then travelling to another London ice rink to train even more with interviews in our car journeys and then all of a sudden at the end of the day we found ourselves in the hotel where we then spent the past 10days… ⁣

“It was a shock and it’s still hard to understand as to why this had to happen to us… we had the time of our lives and it ended just like that… ⁣

Vanessa posted a shot of them together online writing: ‘At least I wasn’t alone’

There are hopes that Joe and Vanessa will return to Dancing On Ice next week

“I am naturally such a positive person and I’m sure it all makes sense in the end, for now I am grateful to be healthy.. ⁣
⁣
“At least I wasn’t alone in this and I got to work on my handstands ⁣
⁣
“THANK YOU for your kind messages throughout this time .”

Many Dancing On Ice fans have demanded Vanessa and Joe return to the show given that it is taking a one-week break.

The series will air a best-bits package tonight after being engulfed by a Covid and injury crisis that has left many stars unable to perform.

One wrote: “Since the show was cancelled this week I think last week should off been yours and Joe’s pass it’s not on this week so no skaters are there and use should be allowed to come back next week with everyone else .”
