This week, Sofia’s joined by reality TV vet and UK royalty Joey Essex! Joey tells us all about his start on The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) and getting “sacked” at his job at the fish market, and Sofia reveals the Google deep dive she did on him (and his history of flirting with interviewers) before they met. Joey gives us a tell all on his experience as the bombshell in the Love Island Villa, including his initial call to producers 2 years ago, his trip in a shipping container to the villa, and rumors that he was a “producer plant”. Lastly, the two talk about their dating life, who Joey is “talking to,” and if they should move to London together. Grab a White Claw, and enjoy those gorgeous blue eyes, sloots!
