A fifth typed: “Samantha needs to stop the act, I know for sure she’s ready to give Joey 8 kids. #loveisland” One more scribed: “Joey is saying eight kids to scare samantha off so he won’t have to deal with her no more i seeee what’s he’s doing #LoveIsland”
This comes after body language expert Inbaal Honigman argued that Joey wasn’t in the villa for love. She told WhichBingo: “Joey Essex has always had very consistent body language.
“He’s always been a very genuine person, never trying to be anything he’s not. But he’s walking onto that set, not like somebody trying to look for love. He’s walking onto that set like somebody coming to do a personal appearance.”

“He is standing very, very straight. He knows that all eyes are on him. He smiles in a photogenic way. He knows how to work the camera and he’s not somebody who happened upon a reality show and will let his nerves show. So, what we have now is the body language of a sleek, polished entertainment professional. He may have started as a reality star but that was a really long time ago.
“He walked on as controlled and as on top of his expressions, on top of his physical expression as polished as Maya herself. He’s there to get attention. He walked onto the set like somebody who was hired to bring attention, and he’s going to follow the brief.
“He’s not looking like somebody looking for love. He’s not come on with any romantic or even sexy approach. He’s not come as his humble self but instead as ‘please come in as the full Joey Essex experience’.”
Love Island airs every day on ITV2 or catch up on ITVX.
