Joey Essex’s sister Frankie has reportedly made her feelings clear after his Love Island romance with Grace Jackson seemed to crash and burn.
The Sun reported that Frankie – who appeared with Joey on TOWIE – weighed in on Instagram to back her little bro after he and Grace had cross words in recent scenes on the ITV dating show. The trouble started with the arrival of stunning Jessy Potts, who turned Joey’s head and ended up swiping him off Grace.
The blonde was left seething, admitting she had expected Jessy to pick Joey to couple up with. Joey played it down and insisted he hadn’t seen it coming, but Grace wasn’t having any of it. “You look shooketh – as if you haven’t been entertaining her!” she stormed.

Viewers were unimpressed, with several pointing out that Grace was complaining about exactly the same thing that she and Joey did to now dumped Islander Samantha Kenny. Joey was initially coupled up with Samantha, with their connection growing until Grace, a former flame of his, turned up.

Now Jessy has swanned in and done the same thing to Grace, and fans are saying it’s “karma”. Joey did try to tell Grace that it was a similar situation to when she arrived, explaining that when he had been stuck between her and Samantha he had felt awkward whatever he did.
But she told him: “Joey, don’t make out like there was ever a situation where you felt bad about wanting to get to know other people. As soon as I got in here, you were like, ‘I have been waiting for someone like you to walk through the doors’.”

Lots of viewers posted messages on social media saying Grace didn’t have any right to have a pop. “Grace this is what you call Karma,” said one. Another chimed in: “You can’t be this upset with Jess when you did the same to Samantha.”
And it seems Joey’s sister Frankie agreed, as according to The Sun she posted clapping hands emojis after some of the comments on Instagram to show her thoughts.

Joey is the show’s first celebrity bombshell but has made it clear that he is serious about being there to find true love. Before he headed off to sunny Majorca for the series, he told The Sun: “I’m extremely single right now, so I’m praying that I’m going to walk out of the villa hand in hand with the love of my life. That’s my main aim and all I care about.”
“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 said.
