Joey Essex has been confirmed as the first-ever Bombshell for the new summer series of Love Island, with the reality TV star entering the villa in search of 'the one'.
Fans of the ITV 2 dating series, Love Island , have been sent into a frenzy by Joey Essex's surprise appearance on the show.
The unexpected addition to Love Island is no stranger to our screens, having featured on numerous reality TV shows worldwide since his debut on The Only Way is Essex in 2011. More recently, Joey - who was once engaged to fellow TOWIE star Sam Faiers - ventured Down Under for the 8th series of the Australian version of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, finishing in sixth place. In 2023, he was the runner-up of the 15th series of Dancing on Ice.
Top showbiz news "I DONT KNOW WHATS MORE WEIRD, JOEY ESSEX BEING ON LOVE ISLAND OR HIM BEING 33," posted a mystified Twitter user reacting to the news, while another displayed frustration: "Why would they bring Joey Essex? Just ruining the dynamic every year by bringing a 'celeb'." While living it up in California earlier in the year, Joey debuted a bold new image sporting a sleek buzz cut that quickly became a hit among his Insta fans. He frequently flaunted his revamped look, even captioning one February selfie: "My dreams reach to a world that doesn't exist, but I'll see you soon anyway."
