Reality star Joey Essex has spoken about how much he wanted to join Love Island as fans fume that Islander Sam has already been kicked out of the villa after just one day
Following his arrival on the show on Monday 3 June, Love Island ’s surprise celebrity bombshell Joey Essex has spoken out about how he approached the show’s bosses for a chance to find love on the dating series. Speaking about his stint on the latest series, Joey said: "I’ve always wanted to go on Love Island and I’ve known Mike Spencer since the very first day I started my journey into TV on The Only Way Is Essex .
"It felt like the right time to give the villa a shot, so I called Mike to ask him if I could apply and he said go for it," he told The Sun. "Mike’s a creative genius and has thought of a way to bring me into the mix and personally I think it’s the greatest stunt that Love Island has ever pulled." On the show on Tuesday 4 June, Joey had to decide which girl to couple up with and he chose Samantha, meaning that her partner Sam Taylor was now single and therefore dumped from the villa.
