Joey Essex and Ellie Brown ‘in early stages of new romance’ after snogging on night out in Essex
The Love Island star has grown close to the former Towie fave and they seemed particularly close last night
JOEY Essex and Ellie Brown are in the early stages of a new romance after snogging on a night out.
Love Island star Ellie, 20, shared a video of herself kissing the former Towie fave, 28, again yesterday as she supported him when he escaped from a chamber filled with water in Ben Hanlin’s Live and Deadly magic show.
An insider told The Sun Online: “Ellie was invited to Ben Hanlin's show to support Joey and they were flirting like mad.
“It's obvious for everyone to see that they like each other and get on well.”
They added: “They've not been on a proper date yet and it's early days. It would be nice if they did start dating because they make a lovely couple but there's definitely not a label on it yet.”
Ellie was clearly very proud of Joey as she was on hand to celebrate with him afterwards.
Sharing the moment with fans, she told them, “Absolutely smashed it – I’m very proud” before kissing him on the lips.
Ellie, who was left devastated after her Love Island boyfriend Charlie Brake allegedly cheated on her, snogged Joey at Sheesh restaurant in Essex last month.
The pair were there celebrating fellow reality star Amber Davies’ birthday.
A source close to the pair told The Sun: “Ellie and Joey were all over each other at Sheesh – kissing and flirting together.
"They met for the first time there on Wednesday and immediately hit it off drinking and partying into the early hours.

She was however also seen kissing Pete Wicks at a bash last month too.
Joey was last thought to be dating Sabreena Diamond and previously had high profile relationships with Stephanie Pratt and Sam Faiers.
