Love Island fans convined Joey is faking his feelings for Samantha after spotting major clue
LOVE Island fans are convined Joey Essex is faking his feelings for Samantha Kenny after spotting a major clue.
In tonight’s installment of the ITV2 reality show, Joey, 33, appeared to snub the make-up artist, 27, in a major way.
During a flirty chat, Samantha, 27, had said: “We’re the king and queen of the villa,” to which he responded with, “Yeah, I feel like the king.”
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, viewers were left up in arms over the ‘snub’.
One fumed: “King and Queen of the villa? Samantha is delulu if she think Joey actually likes her.”
Someone else raged: “‘I feel like we’re king and queen of the villa’ ‘yeah I feel like im the king’ ‘we’re like the mum and dad of the villa’ “yeah i feel like im the king’ looooool joey doesn’t rate that girl at all.”
A third wrote: “Samantha is so delusional. Joey does not like her and she thinks she’s the queen of the villa? I need someone to come in and snatch him up to humble her.”
Elsewhere, a fourth concluded: “You cannot convince me joey is here for love, that man has been on every british reality show there is. he just wants that check.”
After Joey’s shock arrival last week, he was told that he had to pick one girl to couple up with the next day.
But host Maya Jama explained that his decision meant that one of the boys would be sent home.
After just 24 hours in the villa, Joey picked Sam Taylor’s girl Samantha Kenny, meaning that the hairdresser was sent home.
Just days later another bombshell arrived – Uma Jammeh.
Her arrival certainly threw a spanner in the works and Joey was left fuming.
Uma snogged every male contestant when she stepped foot in the villa, and her saucy antics caused havoc for Joey’s partnership.
Joey told make-up artist Samantha that Uma whispered: “I’ll see you later” in his ear.
After picking up on signs the Liverpudlian was irked, Joey promptly asked: “Why are you getting the hump anyway?”
He continued in a chat with the lads: “The whole time I’ve been here, I’ve been very transparent.
“I’m keeping my options open and talking to everyone.
“Obviously, I’m coupled up with Samantha but this always happens.
“I’m really trying my best here to not dive in deep and it’s still happening.”
Joey shot to fame on The Only Way Is Essex in 2011.
