Joey Essex made a star-studded arrival into the Love Island villa earlier this week, making history as the first ever celebrity bombshell to appear on the ITV reality dating show.
It was a whirlwind trip in the villa for hair stylist Sam Taylor, who was brutally dumped from the show, after Joey stole the girl he was coupled up with, Samantha Kenny. The Liverpool beauty and Essex reality star confessed their spark with one another.
However, following bombshell arrival Uma Jammeh, it appears Joey is already looking elsewhere as the pair went to the Hideaway. Uma says to Joey: “You smell lovely.” Joey responded: “Thank you. You smell good too. You smell nice, you smell reem.”
Things heated up, as Uma says, “You’ve got lovely eyes.” Joey says, “You’ve got lovely lips.” However, according to a body language expert, it's believed the TOWIE icon isn't really looking for love in the villa, and instead an uplift of his career.
Body language expert Judi James, in partnership with Buzz Bingo, told the Record: “Has Joey Essex matured? Is he really looking for love, marriage, babies, the whole package? If he is he, doesn’t appear to be searching for them seriously on Love Island.
“Joey Essex is a reality nomad. He’s good at what he does but reality is his day job, this is him on a gig, and there have been at least three key moments already that would suggest he’s in there looking for a fame injection rather than looking for love."
Judi further explained: “Firstly, it was hilarious and revealing to see him drop a ‘reality clanger’ during one of his first big scenes with Samantha. The Love Island viewer is supposed to forget the cameras exist and believe we are seeing intimate, authentic and spontaneous moments between the stars. Joey
