Joey Essex's ex enters Love Island villa to 'confront him' in shock twist
The latest season of Love Island is proving to be totally packed to the brim with bombshell revelations, villa chaos and a whole lot of relationship drama.
And the most recent slice of romance drama sees the likes of celebrity contestant Joey Essex's ex entering the villa to 'confront him' in a pretty shocking twist.
During last night's episode (13 June), three fresh faces rocked up the villa looking to find love - one of which, however, the TOWIE star knew pretty well indeed.

ITV viewers watched on as the new contestants made their way through the doors during a preview for tonight's episode (14 June) seeing Joey reveal to his fellow cast mates he used to 'see' one of them.
Visibly stunned by the ordeal, the reality TV star exclaimed: "Oh my God!" with his hands over his mouth.
"I used to see that girl, bro!" he then told Sean.
The gal in question is none other than Manchester-based marketing agent, Grace Jackson.
And, according to a source who spoke to the Mail Online, she wants to confront Joey about how they left things.
The source said: "Joey dated Grace for six weeks and she was less than impressed by the way their relationship ended.
"There's definitely some unfinished business between them and she isn't going to hold back in expressing how she feels in the villa."
Eagle-eyed fans were also quick to notice that Joey already follows Grace on Instagram.
Upon entering the villa, the 25-year-old described herself as 'very down to earth' and 'easy to talk to' and also revealed that she used to do some modelling.
Explaining her decision to join Love Island, Grace explained: "In my day and age, you don't meet people on face value, it’s all off Instagram, Twitter and dating apps.."
She continued: "I'm excited to get to know someone on face value, and be somewhere where you're forced to have a conversation and be a bit more open.
"This is something that would push me out of my comfort zone, I don't really date a lot. I get myself in situationships with people I know that I shouldn't give my time to!"
Opening up about why she's single, Grace joked: "The lifestyle can put guys off a little bit, I like to go out and go abroad a lot.
"It's the life that I want, and it helps with my business. To sit in and be single, I can't understand why I would do that in my peak and my mid-20s."
And, when talking about what she looks for in an ideal partner, Grace revealed it's all about 'communication'.
"Communication - no guys have good communication and it’s painful!" she said.
Carrying on, Grace added: "Spontaneity, I like someone who doesn’t take themselves and life too seriously.
"Plus, someone who’s easy-going, makes you feel comfortable and can bring out a good side of you. I can be a bit guarded to begin with, but that really brings me out of my shell."
The other two new contestants include Hertfordshire-based HR Coordinator, Tiffany Leighton, 25 alongside Whitley Bay quantity surveyor, Wil Anderson, 23.
Wil revealed that he'll bring a 'cheerful, cheeky excitable vibe' to the show and reckons he's not too bad in the kitchen while Tiffany teased that she'll bring 'some spice, spontaneity' and her 'best flirting game' when trying to win round the boys.
With that said, however, she did also admit that she's 'very picky' and seems to go for 'walking red flags'.
