Vanessa Bauer tells friends she 'just wants to have fun' after Joey Essex split

Vanessa Bauer seems to have put her 'split' with Joey Essex behind her as she enjoyed a night out in London this week.

The Dancing on Ice pro stunned in a floor length silver ballgown for the Big George Foreman film premiere at fancy Ham Yard Hotel on Thursday.

Posting snaps of herself at the star-studded event on Instagram, she told her 216,000 followers: “I wanted to watch this movie as I find it inspiring how people from different backgrounds make something remarkable of their lives.”

Perhaps hinting at how she feels after her break up with Dancing on Ice partner Joey, the 26-year-old continued: “Terrible things can happen to all of us and some may be completely out of our control.

“But I’m a firm believer that anything and everything bad that happens and you survive is an opportunity for growth whenever you’re ready.”

Cryptically, she ended the post with: “One day I may fully tell my story.”

Proving she is well and truly letting her hair down at the moment, Vanessa was out again last night – this time at a wrestling event in east London’s trendy Shoreditch.

The pro skater donned a black leather catsuit with gold zips which she teamed with black platform boots.

Her long brown hair was swept up in a high ponytail and she posed with her hands on her hips in one picture.

In another, the TV star was standing in the ring for the Domino's Wrestle Mexicana event at Village Underground.

Vanessa’s nights out come after it was revealed former beau Joey – most famous for starring in TOWIE – is set to move to Dubai.

The pair, who reached the final of this year’s Dancing on Ice, appeared to confirm their romance after getting close while filming the ITV show.

At the time Vanessa is said to have told pals she was “happier than ever” with her 32-year-old beau.

She said: “Me and Joey are doing really good at the moment."

Asked if she was romantically happy, Vanessa shared: "I'm very happy."

Joey also told The Mirror the pair had clicked since day one of being paired together on the show.

"Me and Vanessa have a great bond, we've always gotten on well with each other since day one," he said.

"It's very special and I think it would be quite nice to see what’s going on in the outside because we're just mainly in the ice rink to be honest.”

But the couple reportedly called it quits on their romance after Joey announced his plans to move abroad.

A source told MailOnline: "Joey absolutely loved his time performing with Vanessa on Dancing On Ice – he will treasure those memories forever.

"But for now, he's focusing on work opportunities and beginning a new chapter in Dubai.

"He's definitely single and while Vanessa means a lot to him because of the experience they shared on the show, they're just friends now."

Vanessa has now told The Sun she is over the split saying: “I’m just having a good time. I’m out with my girls to have fun.”

And just last week Vanessa was spotted out with a mystery man, so it looks like Joey could well and truly be history.
