Love Island's Joey Essex shocks villa as he moves on with new bombshell - leaving Grace in tears


When Grace Jackson entered the Love Island villa, it looked like former TOWIE star Joey Essex couldn't be happier - but that all changed on Wednesday's episode of the ITV dating show. At the beginning of the series, it emerged that Joey had a holiday fling with newcomer Grace in 2023 but things soon fizzled out.

The 25 year old voiced that she felt side-lined by Joey - who confessed to having an 'instant attraction' to Jessy - despite the couple recently speaking about taking their relationship to the next level. Fans watching at home were quick to weigh in on the situation, with some saying this is exactly how dumped Islander Samantha Kenny - who was originally paired with Joey - would have felt.
