Love Island's Joey Essex in shock as an ex he dated earlier this year enters the show as a bombshell

Love Island bosses have upped their game this season and how! After a sudden recoupling last night (June 13) where the girls picked who they wanted to be coupled with, they sent in three new bombshells in the villa. Their arrival sent shockwaves down the villa, especially for Joey Essex - the first celeb bombshell - as one of them is his ex from the outside world.

Joey is currently coupled up with an obsessive Samantha Kenny that fans have also warned him about. They also enjoyed their first date together recently. However, Joey revealed that he’s not closed off yet.

Joey Essex’s ex enters the villa as a new bombshell

Amidst this, two new girl bombshells have entered the villa and one of them has a past connection with Joey. Seeing Grace Jackson walk into the villa, Joey was seen telling Sean, ‘I used to see that girl.’ Reports have now confirmed that Grace Jackson is Joey Essex’s most recent ex from the outside world.

According to The Sun, Grace and Joey dated for six weeks until Joey abruptly put a halt to it. The 25-year-old is understood to be entering the villa to get some answers out of him. Ahead of her entry into the villa, Grace hinted that her ‘situationship’ with Joey wasn’t the most ideal set-up. She said:

I don’t really date a lot. I get myself in situationships with people I know that I shouldn’t give my time to.

And while things may be over for Joey and her, she’s excited to find love in the villa. Grace added:

I’m excited to get to know someone on face value, and be somewhere where you’re forced to have a conversation and be a bit more open.
