Love Island star Samantha Kenny’s mum has hit out at Joey Essex following her emotional exit from the ITV2 show.
TOWIE star Joey and Liverpudlian makeup artist Samantha were coupled up for two weeks on the ITV2 dating show. But things all changed when his ex Grace Jackson joined the show.
Mancunian Grace entered the villa last week as a bombshell – and has definitely shaken things up. And in Tuesday’s episode (June 18) Samantha found herself single after Grace ‘stole’ Joey during a recouping.

Sadly, Samantha was then dumped from the island – leaving fans fuming. And now her mum, Lynne, has soon flocked to her daughter’s defence.
ITV shared a snap of Joey on Instagram looking downcast by the fire pit on the show. In the comments section, Samantha’s mum soon shared her thoughts.
She wrote: “You ruined my daughter’s 2weeks in the villa [heartbroken emoji].” Lynne’s comment didn’t go unnoticed and racked nearly 100 likes in a matter of minutes.
What’s more, Samantha also replied with a savage swipe of her own at the reality TV star. She quipped: “yes lynne he is a disgrace.”
Samantha was sent home during a shock recoupling earlier this week. Bombshells Wil Anderson, Tiffany Leighton and Grcae got to make their choices first.
Wil coupled up with Uma Jammeh, Grace picked former flame Joey Essex and Tiffany opted for Ronnie Vint. It was then up to the remaining boys to choose which girls they’d like to couple up with.
Ayo Odukoya decided to stay with Mimii Ngulube, Ciaran Davies stuck with Nicole Samuels and Sean Stone picked Harriet Blackmore. Omar Nyame was the last boy to pick and he had to decide between Samantha and Jess White.
However, after some deliberation, he decided to couple up with Jess. After Omar shared his decision, Nicole received a text stating that Samantha was now single and therefore dumped from the island. Harriet and Nicole bursted into tears as they tried to digest the shock news.
