Joey Essex could face potential prosecution as his firm reportedly hasn’t filed accounts for four years.
The Love Island star’s company Joey Essex Management, which names Joey as the sole director and overall controller, last provided documents up to June 2018, according to reports.
According Companies House records, its accounts are significantly overdue. The 2019 accounts should have been posted by March 2020, meaning they’re over four years late.

The Gov.uk site states: “Not filing your confirmation statements, annual returns or accounts is a criminal offence – and directors or LLP designated members could be personally fined in the criminal courts. Failing to pay your late filing penalty can result in enforcement proceedings.
“Any criminal proceedings for not filing confirmation statements, annual returns or accounts is separate from (and in addition to) any late filing penalties issued by Companies House against the company.” Daily Star has reached out to Joey’s representative for a comment.
