Grace Jackson fumes as Joey Essex pulls new bombshell Jessy Potts in Thursday night’s episode of Love Island
Following the heart rate challenge on Tuesday night, Joey and Jess were invited to head on dates with two new Islanders, Jessy and Trey.
Still in their heart rate challenge outfits, with Joey adorning his crown, Jessy said: “You look good, crazy get up.
Interested to know more about Joey’s journey with Grace, Jessy asked: “What’s your situation?”
Joey said: “We are sort of, not in a couple but we’re still into each other but it would be fair to say that both of us are willing to explore.”
Jessy asked: “So, you are not closed off?” and Joey replied: “I don’t really know…”
In Thursday night’s episode, Joey goes over to Jessy to pull her for a chat at the mini fire pit.
Speaking about who she might have her eye on since arriving as a bombshell Jessy says: “[There’s] not anyone I’d completely rule out, other than Ciaran. I think he’s the only one that’s completely closed off.”
Joey replies: “I feel like I gave you quite open.”
Jessy says: “You gave me open. Grace gave me closed for you. But I feel like that’s between you two.”
Joey explains: “With me and Grace, we’re close. We actually get on, there’s real feelings there, all that.”
“But it would be silly to just close things off. I want to get to know you more. That date last night was literally the best date. Would you like to go on another date?”
Jessy says: “Yeah why not. Would you?”
Joey replies: “Yeah, course.”
Jessy admits: “I didn’t expect you to be chasing me though Joey… switched that up completely.”
Joey says: “Listen, I just wanted to make you feel comfortable when you walked in here…”
Grace, watching on, says: “What are they talking about? What is their chat?”
Meanwhile Joey continues: “I can’t deny it. I’m going with my heart, it’s true feelings. I just feel like I’m in my rights to be in here and explore. I ain’t in a relationship.”
He adds: “I’ve not really had this with anyone. This flowing conversation. I feel like I’ve enjoyed this conversation too much.”
Jessy replies: “You’re going to get me in trouble.”
Joey admits: “You’re going to get me in trouble.”

Grace wants to understand why Joey is speaking to new arrival Jessy.
Joey explains: “In my head, if we can get through this, this what’s happened, it’ll only make us stronger. That’s how I see it.”
Grace says: “It’s difficult for me to sit here and be like, ‘You do what you need to do, if you feel like you need to explore something with someone else, I’ll just sit here and wait.’ I’m not going to do that Joey.”
Grace continues: “But I don’t get it, are you still wanting to get to know her. If you are, then I don’t want to be involved…”
Joey replies: “I still need to… I can’t not get to know this girl.. I just feel like if I didn’t I would be silly.”
How will Grace respond?
