Joey Essex has been announced as a bombshell contestant on the new series of Love Island
The 33 year old former TOWIE star was unveiled as the first Bombshell of the new summer series during the premiere episode, a first for the long-running reality TV programme. While previous Islanders like Adam Collard and Kady McDermott have returned to the villa for another chance at finding love on national television, Joey is the first well-known celebrity to join the show as a contestant.
More recently, Joey - who was once engaged to fellow TOWIE star Sam Faiers - took on the Australian jungle in the 8th series of "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! " down under, securing a respectable sixth place. Fast forward to 2023, and he skated his way to becoming the runner-up in the 15th series of " Dancing on Ice."
The Twitterverse continued to buzz, with one user commenting on the oddity: "I DONT KNOW WHATS MORE WEIRD, JOEY ESSEX BEING ON LOVE ISLAND OR HIM BEING 33," and another expressing discontent: "Why would they bring Joey Essex? Just ruining the dynamic every year by bringing a 'celeb'." Rumours about Joey contemplating a move to Dubai began swirling around last April, with suggestions that he was looking to snap up a luxury apartment in the opulent metropolis to facilitate easy travel between the UK and UAE.
