Dancing On Ice star Vanessa Bauer shows ex Joey Essex what he’s missing as she wows in sexy bikini on beach in Malibu

THE future seems bright as Dancing On Ice’s Vanessa Bauer hits the beach.

The toned and tanned pro skater wore an orange bikini as she paddled in the surf in Malibu, California.

Vanessa, 27, headed to the US after it emerged she had split from celeb partner Joey Essex, 32.

Reality star Joey, now living in Dubai, was runner-up with Vanessa on the ITV show in January.

They broke up in April and she is now on dating app Raya.

German Vanessa told Instagram fans: “Every failed relationship is another step closer to the perfect man for you.”

Last month Joey told the Sun on Sunday: “I’m in the best shape of my life, I’m single and getting my life together.

“If a nice, kind girl walks into my life I’d get to know her. I’d like a girlfriend but she needs to fit into my jigsaw puzzle.

“I’ve had some nice girlfriends over the years but I need a girl to lift me up and put a smile on my face every day.

“When I meet The One I’ll definitely get married in Essex.”
