“I’m truly blessed to be paired with Vanessa, I was very happy,” Joey told The Sun.
He added: “You’re close and you are touching each other’s legs . . . and everywhere else. You are very intimate and it can happen.
“Honestly I don’t know how people do this show when they’re married — it would be a disaster.
“People were saying to me, like, ‘If I was married . . . God!’ Lucky I ain’t got a ring on my finger, eh?”

Since being paired together in November, Joey and Vanessa, 26, have become almost inseparable.
As well as spending time at Joey’s Essex home, just this week he romanced Vanessa over a traditional, East End pie and mash lunch.
The reality TV veteran also took her as his date to Towie pal James Argent’s birthday bash last month.
Joey said: “She’s a lovely girl, she’s beautiful inside and out, and we do really get on well. You know, it’s nice to wake up in the morning and know that I’m going to go meet Vanessa.
“We both smile, both laugh and just have a really good day on the ice.
“We really get on. She’s a very humble, honest, genuine, lovely girl.”
