Another added: "Haha, Joey Essex's moves are hilarious."

A third asked: "Why is Joey dancing like that hahaha?"

Not only were fans left in stitches over his squirming dance moves, but his puzzled look on his face when his name got called out had everyone talking.

The star was announced the first to perform with his partner, pro skater Vanessa Bauer - but according to his facial expression - Joey didn't expect that.

As Holly Willoughby, 41, introduced the reality star - he looked rather shocked.

"The question is how do you kick off a brand new series?"

Phillip then replied: "Oh well, the only way is Essex."

The camera then cut to Joey's face - who looked a bit taken aback by this.

Viewers once again found this hilarious, as they took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

One wrote: "Wasn't he expecting to be called on stage LOL?!"

Another asked: "Why does he look so confused haha?"

A third added: "Wake up Joey, it's your turn!"
