Speaking to former Towie star Bobby Norris, Konnor shared his thoughts on who was genuine on the show.

He said: "I don't think anyone was playing a game... Joey knows TV, because he's been in it for so long. I love Joey, but I think Joey was there for a reason."

Yesterday Joey confessed he was planted by Love Island producers as the show "needed more drama".

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he said: "I was put in a situation where I had to do what I had to do. Do you know what I mean? I'm there for a reason. I'm in Love Island to entertain.

“I didn't really have much time off… I was very, very busy, active.

“I mean, do your readers actually think that I would go up to a girl in a challenge and kiss her in front of her boyfriend, whilst the girl that I actually have feelings for is stood next to her?"

Joey also revealed he's planning to turn his back on reality TV for good.

He said: "I must say, genuinely, that Love Island was probably my last ever reality show.

“To carry the show on and keep it going, I was needed in a lot of situations to help the storyline progress.
