Joey Essex has reportedly thrown Celebs Go Dating into “chaos” as he “turned” Lottie Moss’ head.
The 25-year-old, who is the half-sister of supermodel Kate Moss, is set to appear in the upcoming series of the E4 dating show.
The model will star alongside a host of well-known faces – including Adam Collard, Chloe Burrows, Mark-Francis Vandelli and Vanessa Feltz.
Earlier this week, Lottie and Joey sparked romance rumours as they were papped enjoying late-night drinks before jumping into a rickshaw at the end of the night.
However, Celebs Go Dating’s strict rules forbid clients to date outside of the agency while filming the E4 show.
An onlooker told The UK Sun: “It’s clear Joey and Lottie have great chemistry and were having lots of fun together.”
“They’ve been friends for a while so were really at ease in each other’s company.”
“They didn’t care who saw them flirting, even though Lottie’s meant to be focusing on the men Celebs Go Dating have set her up with,” the onlooker continued.
“The agents know only too well what Joey’s like – and it certainly looked as though he’d managed to turn Lottie’s head.”
“They hope he won’t distract Lottie from finding love this series.”
A source close to Joey later told the publication: “Joey has no plans to go back on Celebs Go Dating as he’s been there, done that – three times no less.”
“He’s good friends with Lottie and has been for a while, so they were just a couple of friends having a few drinks together.”
“But, never say never for a possible romance in the future.”
