As a seasoned observer of the ever-evolving world of reality television, I must say that it’s fascinating to see the journey of these young stars like Joey and Jessy. Their whirlwind romance on Love Island was a rollercoaster ride for viewers, and while their split might be disappointing for fans, it’s important to remember that life after the villa can be just as unpredictable.


According to reports, reality TV star Joey Essex is expected to appear on the new season of Big Brother for civilians, set to air this coming Sunday evening. However, it seems that many viewers are not thrilled about this news.

The television personality, aged 34, has recently wrapped up shooting the latest summer season of Love Island and is now poised for additional small-screen opportunities.

Despite his previous statements about taking a big break from reality TV following his contentious time on Love Island and a brief appearance on Selling Sunset, this still happened.

According to The Mirror, while Joey won’t compete as a contestant, he will make an appearance in the upcoming civilian version of the show instead.

According to a source, it has been confirmed that Joey will indeed feature in the upcoming series. However, it’s important to note that his role will not involve him competing.

With his extensive experience in reality TV, he’s an ideal candidate to interact with the housemates. He understands their emotions well, making him a valuable addition to the show.

Despite the mystery surrounding his level of participation due to its secretive nature, ITV executives are elated that he has agreed to join the cast on Love Island.

ITV and representatives for Joey have been contacted by TopMob for comment.

In response to the announcement, fans expressed dissatisfaction – stating that they felt oversaturated with his presence on their screens throughout the year.

They wrote on X: ‘Let’s hope this isn’t real.’ or

‘Enough! Can I watch a programme without him popping up!!?’,

‘Pls no. He ruined love island this summer.’,

‘don’t want it #BBUK.’, ‘This series will be dead before it starts then.’,

Haven’t you noticed that he recently repeated the very same action on Love Island, which was just a few weeks back? I don’t mean to criticize him, but it seems like his television career is primarily built around this show and ‘Made in Britain’ UK, with him having participated in almost every other reality program available.

Following the conclusion of Love Island this past summer, Joey made an appearance on This Morning together with his partner, Jessy Potts. During the show, he shared with hosts Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle that he was planning for a significant time off: “I’m taking a substantial break.

‘I feel like I’ve done every reality show possible – I don’t think I’d really want to do Strictly. I’m just taking a break and I’ve got some opportunities over in America.’ 

Following Joey’s decision to speak out about his breakup with Jessy, which occurred last month, seven weeks after they both departed from the Love Island villa.

On the hit dating reality show, the cast members from ITV2, who became acquainted during the most recent season, announced their separation. Joey, a former TOWIE star, expressed his wish to maintain a friendly relationship with Jessy, who is 25 years old.

They stated that they had attempted to keep their bond strong, but following their departure from the program, it seemed destined that things wouldn’t work out between them.

After remaining silent since the announcement, Joey finally shared his perspective on the events involving him and the other person, shedding light on what transpired between them.

At the unveiling of Iconic Bronze’s newest tanning lineup, a question from Goss.ie caught me off guard. Regrettably, our paths have diverged. I extend my warmest wishes for her continued success and happiness.

It was mentioned that Joey might show up in the second season of Love Island All Stars, but he promptly refused the idea.

‘I mean not right now no,’ he confirmed, ‘that’s definitely not in the pipeline right now.’
