The pressure is on Brendan to perform given each of Vanessa’s previous four partners have been impressive on the ice.
She finished runner-up with Perri Kiely and Wes Nelson, respectively, while she went one better and won with Jake Quickenden in 2018.
This year wasn’t as successful though as her time with Emmerdale’s Joe Warren-Plant was cut short after they tested positive for coronavirus.
Former Strictly man, James Jordan, has also set the bar high for Brendan by winning when he competed in 2019.
Meanwhile the competitive Kiwi has already become embroiled in a beef with fellow celeb Ben Foden.
He allegedly snubbed the group WhatsApp group after Ben asked the celebs to share their numbers.
