Joey Essex shocked viewers with his bold move on tonight’s episode of Love Island.
During Thursday’s episode, Nicole got an exciting text, revealing the Villa is about to get a VIP arrival.
Reading the text out, Nicole said: “Islanders, it’s time to slay as tonight the Villa will host a VIP performance that will blow your mind. #whosthatgirl”
Realising it’s hip-hop legend Eve, the Islanders are thrilled and they got ready for the night.
Following the performance, Nicole got another text telling the islanders to stand in their couples in front of the stage.
The newest bombshells, Jessy and Trey, were told they had to make a decision on which islander they would like to steal and couple up with.
In a shock moment, Trey chose Jess and Jessy chose Joey.
The Towie star was previously in a couple with Grace after the pair rekindled their romance from outside when she entered the villa.
However, their romance has hit the rocks following the arrival of bombshell Jessy.
After the recoupling, Joey reassured Grace that he is still interested in her, insisting that he won’t be going to the terrace or any more private places with his new couple.
However, Joey surprised viewers when he went back on his word and asked Jessy to join him on the terrace.
Aware that the other islanders are watching them, the pair crouch down and sit on the floor.
The two get closer and in a shock moment he kissed Jessy.
Viewers took to X to share their reactions to Joey’s bold move
