Sam then read out a text that said: "Sam you are single and therefore you are dumped from the Island.

"Please pack your bags and say your goodbyes."

Joey put his head in his hands and said: "I feel so awful."

The Essex lad was revealed as the first ever celebrity bombshell last night.

The former Towie star didn't waste any time getting to know the girls.

During tonight's episode he had to snog three girls during a game of dares.

Joey kissed Harriett Blackmore, Nicole Samuel and Samantha.

The Islanders are all 'coupled up' in the villa.

The star obviously found a connection the most with Samantha as he's stolen Sam's girl.

Joey is keen to find The One during his stint in the villa.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun before landing in Majorca, Joey, 33, said: “I feel like Joey Bond, the name’s Essex, Joey Essex. It felt like a military operation, not even the journey itself but the process of even getting through the application and to this point.

“I got on the plane to Ibiza. I made sure I wore my mask when I went out for dinner and then we got the boat over to Majorca to a villa hidden in the mountains in the middle of nowhere.

“I’m extremely single right now, so I’m praying that I’m going to walk out of the villa hand in hand with the love of my life. That’s my main aim and all I care about.

“It’s difficult for me to meet girls as they judge me based on a persona so I think this experience will allow people to see the real me.”
