Joey Essex cosies up to US TV presenter who caught his eye after touchy feely interview

JOEY Essex couldn’t resist cosying up to a US TV presenter after a very flirty interview with her.

The Towie star, 34, looked like the cat who got the cream as he posed up with stunning Jasmine Simpkins – setting tongues wagging.

Joey and Jasmine hit it off during the chat on LA TV station KTLA, with her telling viewers he’s “known for his charm.”

In fact, the four female hosts seemed to love Joey and raved about his accent, asking him to keep talking.

Joey replied: “My name is Joey Essex, what are you saying?” he then complimented them all, telling them how beautiful they looked.

He could be seen wearing a black cardigan and white t-shirt but the panellists said he should probably just take off his cardigan, which led to Joey sitting with it half on, half off for the remainder of the interview.

Jasmine stroked Joey’s cardigan as he cheekily responded: “You like that one, yeah?”

Clearly trying to impress her, he boasted that he was 'perfect husband material', saying: “I clean my own house, my own clothes, my own dishes.”

Joey also said that he’s still on the lookout for love, despite his recent split from blonde beauty Jessy, who he met on Love Island over the summer.

Fans were quick to comment on Joey and Jasmine’s flirty antics.

One person commented: “News reporter getting on big flirt with mr Essex.”

Another said: “She was definitely looking. Go on @joeyessex you felt all them touches boy.”

While a third added: “She was defo feeling the Essex. Go on lad.”

Joey is currently living it up in LA with his cousin Chloe Sims following his break up.

Joey and Jessy had battled split rumours since leaving the villa, with their busy schedules meaning they were unable to spend time together.

And the star had made it clear during his time on the show that he was planning to travel to America once it was over.

Joey released a statement on their split and was first to tell us: "Unfortunately, we have decided to call an end to the relationship but I hope we can continue to be friends.

"I truly wish Jessy the very best with whatever she does in the future."
