Last summer the pair entered a bitter feud following a huge showdown which left viewers reeling.

This week Josh sat down on the 90s Baby Show to talk about his Love Island journey and accused fellow islander Joey, 34, of bullying him.

The host of the podcast first commented on the situation, and said: "Joey was testing you.

"You know there's a time in school where someone is really trying to bully you."

Josh replied: “Yeah, it was a bit strange.

"We would be just normal during the day and when the challenges come he just comes and I'm like bro you just asked what I wanted to eat for lunch and yeah just turn into something else."

“We would have a little tussle or whatever in the challenges and afterwards we'd just start talking normally."

"I got to a point where I was like you keep coming for me and I clocked I'm getting bullied here."

During one challenge called Joey was labelled a game player by Josh.

The TOWIE star decided to make a comeback by casting suspicion on Josh's relationship with Mimii Ngulube.

When he asked to vote for the couple most likely to turn their heads, Joey nominated Mimii and Josh, claiming to have insider information.

When Josh demanded to know why he voted for them, he said Mimii had sent him on a "secret mission" but refused to reveal any more details.

This led to a huge clash between Josh and Joey later on in the night.

The boys ended up rowing as Josh tried to find out what his partner had been up to.

Both men began to raise their voices as they flung accusations at each other.

Audiences at home were left annoyed that Joey decided to stir the pot.

In the end Joey was forced to apologise and die-hard viewers believe that he was ordered to by producers following Ofcom complaints.
