Jessy insisted Joey wasn’t ‘that dumb’
Joey kissed his former fling Emma Milton after the villa received a text telling the oldest boy to snog the oldest girl.

Blade suggested Joey wouldn’t be able to grasp the challenge quickly enough to win, describing him as “not the sharpest tool in the box”.

It didn’t sit well with Jessy, who had been pursuing Joey before the boys and girls were divided for Casa Amor.

She said: “He’s not that dumb, leave him alone.

“Come on now, he’s not.”

Her remarks were met with raised eyebrows from villa rival Grace Jackson, who had been partnered with Joey before Jessy arrived and stole him from her.

Viewers were amused by the mud-slinging, though opinions on who was actually in the right varied.

One wrote on X: “I love how Jessie defended Joey. That’s was BS Blade.”

Another said: “Did blade lie though calling joey not the smartest tool in the box.”

A third said: “Not Jessy getting her back up at Blade calling Joey a bit slow.”

Blade made a move for Grace tonight, sharing a snog with her after the game had ended.

It would be wise for Grace to give him a chance as last night Joey officially shut down any future between them.

The pair had been head over heels following Grace’s arrival two weeks ago.

Joey ditched his then partner Samantha Kenny to reconnect with her and faced a backlash as a result.

But days ago Jessy threw a spanner in the works when she chose to steal Joey from Grace and proceeded to snog him.

After the new batch of girls arrived in Casa Amor, Joey’s head was seemingly turned again.

As the fresh crop of beauties introduced themselves to the lads, they asked Joey about his relationship with Grace.

He brutally replied: “That whole grace situation. That’s finished. That’s done!

“I have recoupled. I got chosen the other night by Jessy but her options are open, my options are open.”

The lads seemed just as surprised as the girls by his forthright answer, while viewers at home shared their surprise on X.

One person posted: “The grace situation is finished» Joey is a madman tbh.”

Another said: “I don’t understand how Joey got over Grace just like that. What happened behind the scenes please.”

A third posted: “Joey. What. The. Hell.”
