"I was driving along thinking how I couldn't concentrate on driving because I knew this person was trying to follow us."
Divulging on how he managed to remove himself from the situation, the YouTuber described how he shook the driver off by taking an alternative route, away from his New Forest home.

Joe's nail-biting revelation comes after the smitten couple discussed welcoming a new addition to their family unit. Taking to his Instagram account, the 31-year-old did a Q+A with his 6.3 million followers. Amongst the questions, one excited fan asked if the couple plan on welcoming a pet dog in the near future.
The star replied: "We'd both love to have one eventually. But we don't have time to properly look after an animal especially with training etc, as I'm the sort of person who panics letting any dog off a lead in case it runs off and doesn't come back or jumps up at someone who may not like dogs. One day, woof."

The adorable pair met for the first time when they were partnered together during the 2018 series of Strictly Come Dancing. Since then, they have taken their relationship to the next level by moving in together.
And in September 2021, the couple swapped their London flat for a countryside property in rural Sussex.
