LOVE Island fans have accused Joey Essex of being a Love Island ‘producer plant’. The former Towie star, who is the show's first ever celebrity bombshell, has been behaving himself during the Casa Amor twist. Fans were shocked when Joey, 33, dumped Grace Jackson, 24, for Jessy Potts when she arrived last week.
Some were convinced that he was going to crack on with the Casa Amor bombshells, however he's actually stayed loyal to the beauty. The hunk told the rest of the boys last night that he isn't going to take the risk during the shock twist. Some viewers think Joey is just going for a redemption act now, by sleeping on the day bed and not getting with any casa girls.
Many have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their bizarre theory. One wrote on the social media platform: "Joey is a producer plant." Another said: "Joey the producer plant is moving like Luca and Jake.
He's tryna do a redemption arc as if he hasn't planned this. #loveIsland." A third chimed in: "#LoveIsland Joey is this years Jake just plotting and scheming.
" "JOEY ESSEX WITH THE JAKE MANIPULATION TACTIC," a fourth tweeted. A fifth said: " #LoveIsland y’all acting like Joey has never seen this show and doesn’t know how it’s played. Just like Jake he’s the ringmaster guiding these boys to their doom.
He’s getting to that final." "Only reason joey is on the day bed is because he hasn't seen anyone he can manipulate," a sixth added. Meanwhile Jessy hasn't entertained any of the new boy.
