As a seasoned reality TV observer and enthusiast, I must say that Joey Essex has certainly mastered the art of creating drama in the villa. With 13 years of experience under his belt, it seems he knows exactly what the producers want and delivers it with panache.


It’s been claimed that Joey Essex and Jessy Potts may not have had a genuine romantic relationship after their time on Love Island, even though they insisted their connection was authentic.

Following their elimination from the ITV2 final and being labeled as the least compatible pair, they headed back to the UK and have since been keeping quite active by attending various events individually.

Meanwhile, while Joey, aged 34, is reportedly earning an estimated £250K from his club tour, Jessy, at the age of 25, has been socializing with friends and attending film premieres.

The duo has been featured jointly in TV and print interviews, with Joey subtly suggesting they might be planning a family, yet they haven’t shown up on each other’s Instagram feeds.

The buzz grew louder when it was disclosed by Joey on This Morning that he was contemplating relocating to the U.S., aiming to establish his fame across the Atlantic.

After the news broke on Reddit, as reported by The Sun, one user commented: “He never once thought about whether Jessy might accompany him to America, and honestly, I believe he doesn’t care if she does.”

While another said: ‘How will Jessy even get to America? Is she going to America?

TopMob have contacted Jessy and Joey’s reps for comment. 

The former TOWIE star caused a stir when he entered the villa as the first celebrity contestant.

Despite being labelled as the ‘pantomime villain’ and well known for his bachelor antics, later claimed to have settled down with ‘exclusive girlfriend’ Jessy.

Joey asserts that, although they haven’t used “the L-word” with each other, they’ve both begun contemplating their future together.

Telling OK! Magazine: ‘We’ve already spoken about kids.’

‘We both want a big family. But we’re having a bit of a tiff at the moment. She wants four, I want eight.

‘Imagine how great that would be? I’m ready. I’d do it tomorrow. Maybe even tonight!’.

There’s already significant curiosity surrounding this topic in the U.S., a curiosity that predates “Love Island.” Hence, after taking a break, this is likely his next step.

Joey is eager to transition his career to the United States, aiming to establish a reputation with the vibrant and innovative reality television market over there.

People adore a British individual, but no one has quite reminded them of Joey. Therefore, it’s quite likely that Joey may also win over America.

The original source stated: ‘Since Love Island, his management team at Neon Management has received an overwhelming number of offers for magazine covers, podcast interviews, and meetings with Netflix. Consequently, Joey is currently busier than ever.’

It appears that Joey’s fame remains undiminished despite the unfavorable media coverage stemming from his time on Love Island, during which he faced allegations of being unfair to Grace Jackson and having contentious interactions within the villa.

However, following his departure, Joey revealed that he intentionally fueled the chaos, as producers urged him to capitalize on his reality TV background and generate maximum drama. He even admitted to being a ‘plant’ for the show.

During his interview on This Morning, he stated, “People are invited to mix things up. However, unlike others, I don’t hesitate… I understand the producers’ preferences!”

Some preferred to avoid potential conflicts by staying indoors, which I understand and appreciate. However, with my 13 years of experience, I knew exactly how to handle the situation, and that’s precisely what I did.

Acknowledging his role as the antagonist in a play, Joey stated: ‘I hold no remorse, you understand the situation, and I embraced my part as the antagonist. I did what was necessary, I aimed to enjoy myself and find love, and I found Jessy.’

After being queried whether they’ve used the term ‘love’ with one another thus far, Jessy responded, ‘We prefer not to hurry our feelings.’

In spite of the negative comments, Joey expressed a desire for people to concentrate on him and his current relationship partner, asking everyone to disregard the commotion and simply focus on their romance. He stood firm, asserting that he was sincere throughout his time in the villa.

He found that neither of them had participated in any games, and neither was able to identify any warning signs, even though they had tested each other.

They spent time leisurely, had a good time and cherished each other’s company. We didn’t rush into decisions as another surprise was imminent or because it was Casa Amor; instead, we followed our own pace. We played the game wisely. Our goal wasn’t to win, but simply to be with one another.

In simpler terms, model and influencer Jessy shared with a magazine that she remains unfazed by the doubts surrounding Joey’s behavior and has the unwavering backing of her friends and relatives.

She shared that she can discern more than just the news headlines, and for this reason, she selected a kind individual; furthermore, they have a fondness for the reality TV personality from Essex.

She mentioned that she remained unfazed by Joey’s tendency to stray, and elaborated that as an experienced celebrity, he can be trusted implicitly not to succumb to the advances of other women.
