Joey Essex finally breaks his silence as ex Grace explodes at Luca on Love Island All Stars

JOEY Essex has finally broken his silence on former lover Grace Jackson’s All Stars stint and her fiery spat with Luca Bish.

TV star Joey was famously paired with blonde bombshell Grace before finding love with Jessy Potts on the TV show last summer.

Grace and Joey found themselves growing close on the programme having previously enjoyed a romance before their time in the villa.

And whilst things were sour for the pair quite quickly with many rows ensuing, Joey had so far remained coy on Grace signing up to the show for a second time in a bid to find love on the All Stars edition of the show.

Now, the former TOWIE star has had his say on Grace’s appearance for the first time with a very telling comment after his name was discussed among the former Islanders.

Commenting underneath a clip of the show in which his name was brought up, Joey added a stunned face emoji to sum up his reaction.

In the clip, Grace was seen tearful as she reflected on her romance with Luca which led to co-star Harriett Blackmore making a dig at her ex.

She said to Grace in the clip: “Sorry to say the J word but he ain’t Joey.

“Do you know what I mean? He’s [Luca] not like that, he wouldn’t entertain something he didn’t want to.”

Joey’s comment racked up a whopping 2,300 likes from fans eager to see what the TV personality had to say on his ex and her current villa woes and the reference to his own villa past.

At the end of the latest episode, both Samie and Grace ended up in tears after the public paired Samie up with Luca.

Both Luca and Grace were fuming about the public’s decision, with both Islanders looking upset and angry.

Grace and Luca shared a snog before heading off to chat about what had happened with their pals.

While chatting to Ronnie and Harriett, Grace broke down in tears – heartbroken that she was experiencing something she went through during her first villa stint last summer.

Meanwhile, Samie was on the terrace wiping tears from her eyes with tissue paper.
