Joey Essex is looking for his happily ever after on Love Island – and if he does meet his Mrs Right, it seems she could be in for a treat.
TOWIE and Dancing On Ice star Joey has gone on the ITV dating show as a celebrity bombshell, shocking his fellow contestants when he turned up at the villa looking for love. And according to one of his exes, he is certainly boyfriend material.
Brazilian model Brenda Santos dated Joey for a few months in 2020 and she once dished on their “intense” romance, saying the Love Islander was “giving and generous in bed”. Chatting to The Sun in 2021, the brunette gushed that the TV star was “very sexy”.

“He was giving and generous in bed. Joey said he loved my body, especially my ‘bum-bum’ as you say in Brazil. It was intense and memorable. He’s a very passionate person, like myself.”
Joey and Brenda were together for a few months in 2020. They are thought to have got together in May that year after meeting through friends and the model spent time at the star’s home in Essex during the coronavirus lockdown. However, their romance didn’t go the distance and they went their separate ways in September.

Joey made a surprise entrance at the villa at the new series of Love Island kicked off on Monday (June 3), with viewers left stunned. Many posted messages on X saying how surprised they were and predicting some gripping viewing with Joey bringing “the drama”.
Before he headed off to sunny Majorca, the star told The Sun that he was “extremely single” and that he was hoping to leave Love Island “hand in hand with the love of my life”. “That’s my main aim and all I care about,” said the 33-year-old.

Joey – who has previously been romantically linked to fellow TOWIE cast member Sam Faiers and former Love Islander Maura Higgins – said meeting people wasn’t the easiest for him. “It’s difficult for me to meet girls as they judge me based on a persona so I think this experience will allow people to see the real me,” he explained.
