Meanwhile Joey stayed quiet about his late mum on social media, but he is still dealing with her loss.
In December he burst into tears as he remembered her.
The TV star was filming a festive edition of Educating Joey Essex on Thursday night, and after a few hilarious moments things turned more serious as he visited his nan in a care home.
After greeting her and making sure she was all set for a nice Christmas, Joey spoke directly to camera about his family, and his mum, who committed suicide when he was a child.
He said: “The true meaning of Christmas is pretty much nothing to do with cash but being around people that you love.
“Seeing my nan was nice but she’s got a bad memory now so it was hard at the same time.
“When my mum passed away it was like my nan was there for me then obviously like…”
As his voice broke, Joey had to stop speaking, and rubbed his eyes repeatedly to try and stop the tears from falling.
The show then moved to Joey’s home, where the former Towie star sat watching old home videos with his dad and sister Frankie.
