Speaking to The Sun, Vanessa explained she understood the worry that her partners’ girlfriends would have due to the amount of time she would be spending with them during training.
She said: ‘I can understand why my partners’ girlfriends find it difficult. We spend so much time together rehearsing.
Vanessa said they create a ‘story’ during their routine which can be hard to make seem genuine to the audience.

Vanessa insisted that she is a ‘professional’ and never enquires about the romantic lives of her celebrity dance partners.
She said: ‘As far as I’m concerned when my partners have split from their girlfriends I doubt it’s got anything to do with me.’
Vanessa said she found it ‘irritating’ that people only seemed to be focused on the ‘romance’ and not her hard work as a dancer on the show.
In her first year of Dancing On Ice in 2018, she was partnered up with X Factor star Jake Quickenden, with the couple going on to win.

In 2019, Vanessa was paired with Love Island star Wes Nelson, 22, who was then dumped by fellow islander Megan Barton Hanson, 25, during the series’ run.
However, Vanessa has revealed that she is ‘still in touch with all of her partners’ and they are ‘friendly’ among each other.
She added that she ‘loves’ coaching Joe, and she even reckons they could make it to the final of this year’s series.
The star has been in an on-and-off relationship with personal trainer Rory McCall since 2019

The insider claimed: ‘Obviously it’s only a few weeks ago that Joe-Warren was splitting up from his girlfriend and everyone was talking about his closeness to Vanessa – and now she’s quietly meeting a new guy.
‘Joe has been staying at his mum’s place in Blackpool after moving out but of course he still has training commitments because the show will be starting very soon.
‘Vanessa and Joe are playing down suggestions of romance, but his girlfriend was clearly uncomfortable with their relationship and now she’s already dating someone else in secret.’

Joe recently moved out of the home he shared with his ex-girlfriend of three years, Nicole Hadlow, and returned to his mother’s house in Blackpool.
Insiders have alleged that Nicole was not impressed with the time Joe was spending training and deleted snaps of the pair from Instagram.
A source said at the time: ‘Nicole felt sidelined and he’s done little to put her mind at ease.’
