Vanessa looked every inch the athlete as she sported a sexy sports bra and high-waisted leggings which flaunted her abs to perfection. 

Joe-Warren, who is best known for his role as Jacob Gallagher in the ITV soap, went low-key as he flashed a smile amid relationship rumours.  

Insiders alleged the duo have been arguing about the amount of time he has spent training, with lash technician Nicole deleting snaps of the pair from Instagram. 

Joe has been dating Nicole since 2017, while their union was first revealed in 2018, thanks to slew of snaps that Joe posted to Instagram.

It has now been claimed however that the duo’s relationship is under strain as she is struggling to adjust with the amount of time he is spending away. 

Insiders told The Sun: ‘Joe and Nicole have had a series of rows in recent weeks. Training for Dancing On Ice has put a strain on their relationship because of how hard Joe is having to work’. 

‘He’s been spending hours on the ice with Vanessa and the trainers and it has been tough on them. Nicole deleted all the recent snaps of them on Instagram recently and has been leaning on her family and friends.’

MailOnline has contacted representative for Joe for comment. 

A representative for Dancing On Ice declined to comment when approached. 

In January 2019, Vanessa sparked controversy with her dance partner Wes Nelson, whose then-girlfriend Megan Barton Hanson publically slammed the ice skater for her behaviour with the Love Island hunk. 

Rumours of a fling later emerged and Megan and Wes split. 

Vanessa remained defiant, as she hit back at the claims, posting on Instagram at the time that rumours of a fling with Wes are ‘lies’.
