LOVE Island fans are predicting trouble in paradise between Joey Essex and Samantha Kenny after spotting a giveaway clue. Last night makeup artist Samantha, 27, branded them the 'king and queen' of the villa, something that wasn't reciprocated entirely by Joey, 33. And in a chat with Joey, Ciaran Davies and Nicole Samuel late into the show, Samantha said something that appeared to give Joey 'the ick' - at least in the eyes of viewers.
She declared herself a massive Towie fan and quoted famous catchphrases at him such as Gemma Collins' "You ain't getting this candy". Despite Joey being a show legend, it didn't appear to fill him with joy. He made a point of telling the group it was 11 years ago and joked that Samantha had been researching him before entering the villa.
She hit back by saying: "I'm just a big Towie fan, leave me alone." Now fans think it'll be the undoing of their fledgling relationship. "Joey’s getting the ick from Samantha," said one.
"He’s clocking he’s coupled with a super fan. He’ll defo whack bum if she lets him though." Another said: "Samantha being a Towie fan is giving Joey the ick.
" A third posted: "Joey got the ick as Samantha big Towie fan." A fourth said: " Joey defo gonna get the ick with Samantha if she keeps quoting Towie." While others believe Joey is faking his feelings for Samantha.
During a flirty chat, Samantha said: "We're the king and queen of the villa," to which Joey responded with, "Yeah, I feel like the king." Taking to X, for.
