Love Island 's Joey Essex was dealt two devastating blows on Friday night's episode ahead of Casa Amor. Only recently, Joey, 33, and on-off love interest Grace Jackson, 25, who are thought to have previously dated for around a year after meeting in Ibiza, couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they were reunited earlier in the series, firmly rekindling their romance. As the two reunited, it meant Joey's former partner in the villa, Samantha Kenny, was brutally dumped from the show.
However, there was drama in store on Monday's episode as new bombshell Konnor Ewudzi picked Grace at the recoupling. This left Joey unimpressed as he had only recently rekindled with his ex from outside the villa and he was then partnered up with Jess White in a friendship partnership. Yet there was more drama ahead on Tuesday night as new bombshell Jessy Potts picked Joey for a date, leaving Grace 'fuming' as Joey admitted he wanted to explore things with the new Islander, as well as continue their blossoming romance.
Refusing to be part of a love triangle, Grace slammed Joey for his behaviour, telling him she was 'disappointed' before breaking down in tears with the girls. With their romance rocky and Joey appearing to want to know both girls, Thursday's episode saw a shock recoupling for new bombshells Jessy and Trey Norman. Jessy decided to pick Joey, who acted shocked, even saying: "Didn't expect that!" Later, despite acting shocked at the recoupling, Joey took Jessy to the roof terrace.
