The reality TV star was left shocked in the preview at the end of Thursday (14th June) night\u2019s episode, as his ex, Grace Jackson, arrived as one of the new bombshells.<\/p>\n
As he spotted her walking in, he exclaimed \u201cOh my god\u201d, before going on to tell the rest of the boys that he \u201cused to see that girl\u201d.<\/p>\n
A source spoke to the MailOnline<\/a> about Joey\u2019s previous relationship with Grace, explaining: \u201cJoey dated Grace for six weeks and she was less than impressed by the way their relationship ended. There\u2019s definitely some unfinished business between them and she isn\u2019t going to hold back in expressing how she feels in the villa.<\/p>\n \u201cDespite pursuing her, Joey ended up dumping Grace, which left her feeling very confused. She\u2019s drop dead gorgeous, and Joey is bound to regret the way he treated her, not to mention the pressure it\u2019s going to put on his new romance with Samantha.\u201d<\/p>\n In an interview before going into the villa, Grace explained that she joined Love Island to meet someone face to face, as \u201ceverything\u2019s online\u201d now.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n She also said that she is \u201cdown to earth and easy to talk to\u201d, but \u201cquite direct\u201d \u2013 which could make for some interesting confrontations with Joey.<\/p>\n Explaining why she\u2019s still single, she said: \u201cThe lifestyle can put guys off a little bit, I like to go out and go abroad a lot. They can\u2019t keep up with my lifestyle! It\u2019s the life that I want, and it helps with my business. To sit in and be single, I can\u2019t understand why I would do that in my peak and my mid-20s.\u201d<\/p>\n This season of Love Island is now in full swing, and will be followed by another season of the All-Stars spin-off<\/a> next year, to mark the show\u2019s 10th anniversary.<\/p> Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Entertainment<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0to find out what else is on.
