He’s known for his cheeky charm, way with the ladies and handsome good looks, but Dancing On Ice star Joey Essex is also known to deliver some pretty iconic one-liners.
The 32-year-old, who shot to fame back on TOWIE, won the hearts of the nation back in 2011 thanks to his hilarious, albeit naive, comments.
Over the years, Joey has been making our jaws drop with his on-screen funny moments and baffling comments – which are always ultimately harmless.

Last month, Joey claimed he is good mates with a ghost, and befriended the spook after finding it haunting his house.
“I lie in bed and think about ghosts sometimes. There’s one who comes into my room,” he told Daily Star.
“It’s well annoying. Honestly, I see it all the time, it walks round my house. I used to be scared of ghosts but because I see this one a lot I’m used to it. He’s my mate.”
“I go into the kitchen and say ‘Alright ghost?’ It’s like a boy of about 18. I just see him whizz past me in time for me to say ‘What’s happenin’?’
“I never really thought about ghosts when I was younger because I didn’t see them. But now I see dead people.”
“I thought they meant adoptions at first’

Joey once went hunting for aliens near Las Vegas in his Towie spin-off series Educating Joey Essex.
In his memoir he admitted that the experience confirmed his belief in extra-terrestrial life.
He said: “I’ve always thought there was other life out there and now I definitely believe in aliens 100%.
“I went to a meeting with all these people sat round chatting about their abductions – although I thought they meant adoptions at first.
“They were all really normal looking but the stuff they were coming out with was mad.”
Joey caught swearing live on-air

Back in 2017, Joey was left rather red-faced after he was caught swearing live on-air.
The reality star appeared on This Morning and chatted to hosts Phillip Scofield and Holly Willoughby.
However, things took an awkward turn when the camera switched from Joey, who was in a separate studio, to Phil and Holly.
Straight away viewers heard Joey say: “F***ing s***hole” when show chef Gino D’Acampo pulled out an ashtray.
Holly was forced to apologise to the ITV show’s fans: “If any of you heard something Joey Essex said you found offensive we apologise. He didn’t realise his mic was on.”

Joey was a regular guest on the hit ITV2 show Celebrity Juice – and the TOWIE alum had plenty of hilarious moments.
In one episode, Joey was asked if he knew who the TV legends Richard and Judy were.
“Richard and Judy? Yeah I know them, they’re like…” Joey said.
Catching himself out, he added: “I’m not even gonna say.”
He was then egged on by his fellow celebs, and said: “Are they the people who created the world?”
Confusing Richard and Judy with Adam and Eve sent the entire studio into tears of laughter.
